Bowser followed up with a second letter asking for 150 Guard personnel for 90 days. This was rejected on Monday by a Pentagon official.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter to Bowser,\u00a0Defense Department Executive Secretary Kelly Bulliner Holly said Guard personnel weren\u2019t trained to assist immigrants and activation would lead to \u201cdiminished readiness\u201d for the troops.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe DCNG has no specific experience in or training for this kind of mission or unique skills for providing facility management, feeding, sanitation or ground support,\u201d Holly wrote, in the letter obtained by Fox News,\u00a0referring to the D.C. National Guard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApproval of this request would also result in a substantial readiness impact to the DCNG,\u201d Holly added. \u201cDevoting the personnel or the facility for such an extended mission would force the cancellation or disruption of\u00a0military training.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Bowser\u2019s Response <\/p>\n<p>In an apparent response to Holly\u2019s letter, Bowser said her government would \u201cmove forward\u201d with plans to help the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-illegal-aliens\">illegal aliens<\/a> arriving in D.C. to move on to \u201ctheir final destination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that these unannounced buses are a politically motivated stunt, one that could very quickly lead to a crisis within our own systems.
