Donald Trump has ordered the military to be on alert over a US-bound migrant caravan as he declared a national emergency.
Referring to the caravan from Honduras, the president tweeted: "Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States.
"I have alerted Border patrol and Military that this is a National Emergency."
He added that the US would begin "cutting off, or substantially reducing aid" to three Central American countries.

That’s exactly what they’re going to do.
YES ! It’s about time this happens. Now send Troops, don’t just put them on Alert.
The irony is that the caravan was most likely organised by a DEM aligned NGO designed to help DEM for the mid terms.
This is an act of war by Mexico aided by our own F*****g dems. I am so F*****g angry at our so called congress. Screw them all, throw the bastards out and get ready for them when they come for you.
Are we all out of pepper bullets and pepper spray? How about water hoses? Spray them back into Mexico.
If that doesn’t work, shoot each adult in the foot.
“Declaring a National Emergency has significant implications in that it allows the President to garner powers he normally could not use absent the declaration, e.g., employing the military and the national guard.”
absolutely! first step towards utilizing Federal military forces ... i wonder if any kommies will have the balls to try and get a Federal court to issue a stay of the Presidential Emergency?
Fricking air strikes on people that aren’t even at our border? Seriously
—
Works in Syria. Afghanistan, and Iraq. Army of 10,000 invaders requires serious responses - including air, arty and mechanized all of which are now on alert and preparing to mobilize. This is will become a war not virtue signaling. BTW: tell that ‘hayseed’ line to the troops who are on alert, watch their response.
Warn Mexico that either they stop this mob or we blow up some bridges. No one gets hurt.
It’s sad that anyone would fall for this.
Why does Trump not make a simple, definitive statement from his office to these invaders that they are not getting in???? Period. Not one of them. So please, for the sake of anyone young or vulnerable, please turn back now. Until he does that I have to believe that they are coming in.
And a strip extending 50 miles into Mexico should be declared a "cross-border free-fire zone" subject to armed attacks by US military against any hostile assembly of forces.
Yes, that includes the Mexican Army and Police.
Either they take our bribes to stop the "Caravan", or we wipe all of them out - including the haciendas (and the leaders) of the Cartels. And we don't need to be too picky about collateral damage either.
That "silver or lead" thing can work in both directions.
Just apply the Trump EO of December 20th 2017
This is wholesale human trafficking>
Freeze the funds and assets of the sponsors (Soros etc) world wide.
Agreed! This is an invasion and normal laws must be suspended.
So DJT is a moron for alerting major nearby military elements? Maybe others know more than you like: how many of those pickups used to move the invaders are set up for heavy weapons mounts and what exactly is in the covered trucks.
Trump should shut down the border completely...
No Mexican goods may enter the USA... including produce.
I have have personally driven 2500 miles in 2 days time (19 hrs travel one day and 18 hrs the next) while i don’t advise it....
The mob (groups of it) can be anywhere. They can get from southern mexico border to our border in 1-2 days - imo.
pictures on one thread in FR of them being let into tractor trailers, I’m sure they could be using plenty of motorized systems of shuttling people further north, trains too.
This invasion has been going on for decades, but obama promised us fundemental change and even though he is out of office he is still delivering on his word.
All involved in this ongoing invasion are against the word of God about abiding by the laws of the land you are in. So thank God for His promise to protect those in line with Him but we also need to all find ways to get involved and do our part (not just protect your own property, but help out other ways) to protect this country God inspired and thousands and thousands of good men and women have given their lives for.
New Republican mantra... close the border.... until we can have a secure wall in place.
Precisely! I just read a story yesterday that formerly deported Mexicans are joining the march. They are using this as a way to slip back in.
Trump needs to activate helicopters and drones at the border and warn that any attempts to cross will be met with tear gas and water cannons.
I am so sick of this asylum law. They should be held only long enough to get them back on a plane and returned from whence they came.
Yes! It took Kent State to stop the Commies here at home. Not too many want to die “for the cause.”
