Any way to get that article in Spanish translated into English?
___________________________________________________
I’m sure there is some way, but La Prensa doesn’t allow copy and paste. At least not the last time I tried it. I don’t like posting articles in Spanish but with local news I don’t have much choice.
If I find a way, I’ll give it a try.
Ok, I found a way to get it into Google Translate. It came out pretty good, with a few slight grammar glitches, but the translation is still probably better than mine. This is the entire article in English.

Trump announces that the military will increase to 15,000 at the border
The Pentagon will triple the number of troops on the border with Mexico by order of Trump.
Washington, United States.
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that up to 15,000 troops could be deployed on the US-Mexico border to stop a convoy of Central American migrants.
“With respect to the caravan of migrants, our military is deployed, we have 5,000 and we are going to go up to 10,000 or 15,000,” Trump said from the White House grounds.
Security management in the southern border generally does not involve troops in active service and a contingent of 15,000 people would be equivalent to the mobilization of the United States in Afghanistan.
“It’s a group of dangerous people,” Trump said, with less than a week before the November 6 legislative elections in which the Republican Party could lose control of Congress.
“If you see what happened in Mexico two days ago, the rudeness of these people from the second caravan that is forming, and also, frankly, from the first one, and now they have another one that is being formed in El Salvador,” he said. the American president.
The first caravan, made up of about 3,500 people, according to the data of the US authorities, advances through the state of Oaxaca, in southern Mexico.
A second group of migrants, made up of about 2,000 people, currently walks through Chiapas, the Mexican state bordering Guatemala.
To those two caravans, there is a march of Salvadorans who left their country on Sunday and two other groups that gather about 2,000 people who left this Wednesday from San Salvador.
On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) described the current situation as an “unprecedented crisis.”
