Don't let the National Guard scare you

"The suggestions include deploying the National Guard to the border to help with humanitarian care of minors"

Sending the National Guard to the border to “defend” it (basically, to scare would-be immigrants away, which is about all they can do since they have no power to detain) is dumb, but using Guardsmen as babysitters is not a half bad idea. The Guard is full of young men and women, civilians, many of whom have young children of their own. They’d probably do a fine job.
