What is a guided missile destroyer going to do to prevent migrants from walking across the border. If some are coming by boat then the Coast Guard can handle that, I mean it is kind in their name.

Yes, it's a weapon's platform first, but it's a surveillance platform zeroeth, to point the weapons.

Migrants come in at port of entry. Illegal aliens and cartels should be made to turn around, and a missile destroyed can make them do that.

What are these disingenuous comments doing here ?

What is disingenuous is spending my tax money to defend Ukraine's border while not defending my country's border.

That is such an old and untrue narrative that even Trump/MAGA no longer uses it because it never had any legs to begin with. It's humourous you're still using it. You'll need to come up with something more original that...

The idea that the US border is not being defended is a huge lie. Another lie is that its possible to defend the US border. The US border is huge and US unlike Ukraine is not being invaded. Immigrants coming over the border are harder to track then groups of tanks. We spend and arguably waste billions on billions of dollars on border security in america with nothing or negative results. That's not because of some nefarious pro immigrant agenda its because practically the border isn't securable.

As for Ukraine, discouraging Russian aggression is in the intrest of America

Why do we need inter-continental ballistic misiles that can be fired way beyond our countries borders ?
