GOP rep: I'm not comfortable with Trump sending troops to southern border

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A GOP lawmaker on Tuesday voiced disapproval with President Trump’s vow to send troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to prevent illegal crossings.

“I don’t really feel really comfortable with deploying military troops and creating the possibility for an increase in violence and an escalation of the conflict,” Rep. Francis Rooney (R-Fla.) said on CNN.

Instead, Rooney said, "These people should be stopped at the border and vetted out, just the normal process, and we should have plenty of agents down there to do that." He voiced concerns that deploying troops would escalate tensions “unnecessarily.”

“I would rather have the dealings with immigration be handled in a civil context and not a military one,” he said.
