RUSH EXCERPT:
RHODES: "Yeah, I think it’s appalling, and it comes out of nowhere. There’s no reason to authorize this. There’s nothing out of the ordinary that’s happening at the border. People have been arriving at the border for decades to claim asylum. For him to essentially take what was an election year political stunt of deploying these troops, and to take it another level and essentially authorize killing of potentially innocent people who are just coming here to seek asylum I think is a really chilling message as to how far he will go to make his basically politics of border security look like something it isn’t."
