Jennifer Kavanagh, the director of military analysis at the Defense Priorities think tank in Washington, D.C., said that, in addition to the further integration of the military into immigration enforcement, such moves also showcase that funds that could be used to improve the quality of life of troops are being pushed aside.
“Is this really the best use of military resources? We know that junior staff, junior officers and enlisted personnel who are staying in military barracks face mold and other types of problems in their housing,” Kavanagh told Military.com. “So is building tent facilities to house migrants really the best use of DoD funding, or any funding? If we’re gonna build anything on military bases, shouldn’t it be to help service members?”
