A majority of the 360 plus troops deployed at the border in Clifornia were withdrawn by Govenor Newsom. Newsom was quoted saying the border emergency is a manufactured crisis. A majority of these troops will be sent to fight drug cartels, and close to 100 of them will be sent to aid in wildfire prevention.
Another example of a manufactured crisis in American history is the Spanish American war, a war caused by yellow journalism. Hopefully we can learn to distinguish yellow journalism from honest writing to prevent future conflicts like these.

This is so sad because people are getting taken away from their homes and families to go do this and risk their lives.
