Washington Acting Secretary of Defense Pat Shanahan said Wednesday that the Pentagon was trying to determine how long US troops would be required to support security on the southern border, saying,"We really need to get back to our primary missions and continue to generate readiness."
"This is an issue that Gen. Dunford and I work on quite a bit because the question that he and I are really trying to answer is how long will we be at the border," Shanahan told lawmakers at a House Appropriations hearing on the defense budget. Shanahan indicated that the military is required at the border due to a shortage of Customs and Border Protection personnel, saying"they're thousands of people short."White House asks for $4.
