An additional 2,500 law enforcement officers, 2,750 support staff and, over 1,000 medical personnel at the southern border could be required, according to the DHS report.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
