president Donald Trump One of the experts says that the decision to send a marine warship to help security on the southern border sends a strong message of deterrence to those who may consider crossing the United States by sea.
“It is an unusual matter, the forces usually see lands, but they are still smart,” said Alfonso Aguar, former head of the American Office of Citizenship and the Director of Participation of Spanish Descent.

“The ability of the sea that is going on the sea is working to improve our ability to protect the regional integrity of the United States, sovereignty, and security,” said General Gregory Gilot of the American Northern Command, which was responsible for military operations on the border.

Military officials said the main mission of the USS Gravely, which has already left the naval weapons station, Yurton, Virginia, for the border mission, is to patrol in the Gulf of America to monitor drug smugglers.
Naval officials said that the spread of weapons, through national crime, piracy, environmental destruction, illegal immigration in the sea, said that the deployment of USS seriously shows the naval dedication to “fighting maritime terrorism, the spread of weapons, through national crime, piracy, environmental destruction, and illegal immigration transmitted to the sea.”
“It is not necessary for the United States to control our borders across Earth,” Sean Barnell, a Pentagon spokeswoman, told reporters on Monday. “It is equally important to control our territorial waters, and this publication directly supports the mission of the northern leadership to protect our sovereignty.”

“This is what the army calls the overthrow of the force,” Aguar said. “It is a great way to bend those who want to try to come to the United States by sea … it's a power.”
Aguilar has argued that the deployment of the navy would help complete the operations that are already carried out by the American Coast Guard and will also enhance the Coast Guard capacity, cover more sea and send a strong message to those who turn into the seas as an alternative to the Earth's crossings.
Aguar said: “Like the forces on the ground that provides a supportive balance of the border patrol … the navy will do the same, which provides support for the Coast Guard in enforcement … Immigration activities on the high seas.”
Aguilar also pointed to the timing of the publication, on the pretext that it is appropriate for the land forces that have already accomplished it On the border Under Trump.

“The numbers have decreased, even the number of people trying to (cross the border) by sea, but it is still a road,” Aguar said. “What we have seen is that every time we close the door, they are trying to find another way to enter. So we have to close our wild borders, but we also have to close these marine entries to the United States.”
