Vivek Ramaswamy supports redirecting the main focus of the US military to protect against an invasion of the US-MX border

Types

Politician's position claim

Opposing arguments

When Vivek Ramaswamy labels illegal immigrants crossing the US-MX border an "invasion" that needs to be met with a large military force, then this could indicate that Ramaswamy's true intentions are not to secure the border, but rather to start an act of aggression towards Mexico

Quotes that support the claim

I would not. And I think that this is disastrous, that we are protecting against an invasion across somebody else's border, when we should use those same military resources to prevent the invasion of our own southern border here in the United States of America.
And I do not want to get to the point where we're sending our military resources abroad when we could be better using them here at home to protect our own borders
