Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Approximately 2,500 members of the National Guard and Army Reserve are already at the border assisting U.S. Customs and Border Protection with logistics and other support duties, a Pentagon spokesperson told USA Today.
56% : Active duty troops were last ordered to the border by former President Joe Biden's administration, and Trump did the same during his first term.
52% : Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents say their public safety mission is harder in non-cooperative counties such as Fairfax County, Va.
46% : Unless the administration invokes the Insurrection Act, active duty troops can't assist in apprehensions and will be limited to support roles as they have in the past.
