The Pentagon is Sending U.S. Troops to the Border
2018-10-26
[Town Hall] The Pentagon confirmed Thursday hundreds of U.S troops are being sent to the southern border with Mexico in order to stop a Central American caravan that has swelled to 10,000 people.

Earlier this week President Trump threatened to send the military to the border and administration officials have repeatedly vowed the illegal carvan will not be granted entry to the U.S.

It is unclear at this point exactly what role the troops will play or from which branch they will deploy, but they will offer backup to Border Patrol agents and already stationed National Guard troops.

#3  Can't trump declare this the emergency it is and define his own ROE until it's settled? Seems to me Lincoln had to declare an emergency in the Civil War.

#1  Why waste time and resources around the world when your country collapses right on its own border? What did you think you were suppose to protect? Can you justify your existence?
