Full title: BREAKING: Thousands of Armed U.S. Troops Will Be Deployed to the Border by Friday, Here's What They'll Be Doing

Officials from the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense announced Monday 5200 additional active duty U.S. troops will be deployed to the southern border with Mexico by Friday. Eight-hundred soldiers are on their way to Texas now.

“They are in fact deploying with weapons," U.S. Northern Command Air Force General Terrence O'Shaughnessy said during a press conference. "I think the President has made it clear that border security is national security."

Troops are being sent to bolster border security in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas as at least three caravans from Central America make their way through Mexico and toward the United States. The caravans pose a special threat due to their size, which range from 3,000 people to more than 10,000. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, at least one caravan near Guatamala, Mexico has used violent tactics to breach a number of international borders.

"Due to the large size of the potential caravans that may arrive at the border, the Department of Homeland Security has further requested the support of the Department of Defense," McAleenan said. "We will not allow a large group to enter the U.S. unlawfully."

Troops will be used to build fencing, provide medical units, harden points of entry and address key gaps in points of entry. Air and ground transportation will be provided to move agents and equipment. This support requires military planning teams and heavy equipment, including Black Hawk helicopters and fixed wing aircraft.

One-thousand additional Customs and Border Protection officers and agents are also being deployed to handle operations.

Let the lawsuits fly. The majority of the American people are fed up. Time to take names and expose them and let the American people see exactly who doesn’t want to protect the country and the American people.

Also expose whose paying for this invasion starting with Soros and his cronies.

[and let the American people see exactly who doesn’t want to protect the country and the American people.]

I believe we call them “Democrats”.

(just to reinforce your post)

Very good news! Get Engineers there too to build barriers that will last. Make sure the Mexican government knows they may have a problem with these invaders when they are refused entry and start misbehaving in northern Mexico.

[gibsonguy]

No, they plan to breach the Texas border.

[Midwesterner53]

The (Republican) Governors of these states should tell their citizens to welcome our troops and make them feel as at home as possible, do whatever they can to ensure their stay is as easy as they can make it.

“They are in fact deploying with weapons,”’

So were the watches on the USS Cole - but no ammo ... and do these troops have ammo or just useless weapons?

[SpaceBar]

If they’re “armed” with forms and zip-ties, we’re screwed.

These provisions transformed the character of illegal immigration:

<><> a portion of the 2008 Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act that limits the ability of law enforcement to repatriate swiftly unaccompanied children from non-contiguous (read: Central American) nations;

<><> the Clinton-era 1997 Flores settlement that put a ceiling on the US government's ability to detain minors;

<><> the lax “credible fear” standard---immigrants request asylum simply by saying they "fear" returning to their hovels in Tegucigalpa or Quetzaltenango;

<><> ridiculous provisions that force taxpayers to foot their travel bills when "terrified" check-cashing illegals revisit war-torn homelands.

Armed troops protecting the border.

But not MPs or combat troops just mostly paper shufflers and the like who are said to be able to defend themselves with their pistols and rifles, should they be attacked.

No heavy weapons, armour, or air cover.

[DaveA37]

I can see a genuine “Mexican Standoff” about to take place and the invaders reach our southern border.. Hopefully it will NOT, repeat NOT be the American’s that blink. Will our troops really be armed with real ammunition or more rubber bullets?

THIS JUST IN--FR POSTED: ICE and the National Border Patrol Council say detrimental Obama-era policies remain in place.

Obama loyalists are still running their agencies....holdovers are described as "incompetent, corrupt and anti-enforcement".....
....... but the Obama/Democrat plan is to place illegals in strategic electoral college states........
