川普总统要求军方协助安置被羁押非法移民

美国军方正在准备为试图从美国西南边界非法入境而被羁押的成年人及其子女提供住处。

川普总统星期三签署的政令要求美国国防部长采取一切法律允许的措施,为这些非法移民提供住处,或利用现有设施,或如有必要也可建造新设施。

国防部长马蒂斯星期三在五角大楼会见德国国防部长前告诉记者说:“我们支持国土安全部。由他们牵头,我们配合。”

目前正在考虑使用军方在德克萨斯州的3处设施和阿肯色州的1处设施安置在边界拘留的儿童。

美国国防部说,如果使用这些设施,军方不负责提供安全和其它服务。

马蒂斯部长说,这不是军方第一次接到为平民提供住处的请求。

Trump Asks Military to Help House Detained Illegal Immigrants

The United States military is prepared to provide housing for men, women and children detained for trying to enter the country illegally along the country's southwestern border.

The executive order signed by President Donald Trump Wednesday calls for the U.S. secretary of defense to "take all legally available measures" to provide housing for the immigrants either at existing facilities, and to construct new facilities if needed.

"We support DHS [Department of Homeland Security]," Mattis told reporters earlier in the day, prior to a meeting at the Pentagon with the German defense minister. "This is their lead," he added "We'll respond if requested."

Already, four military installation, three in Texas and one in Arkansas -- are being considered as possible locations to house children detained at the border.

Pentagon officials say that if the sites are used, the military would not be responsible for providing security or other services.

Mattis noted this would not be the first time the military has been asked to help house civilians.
