"Troops will not be allowed to detain immigrants, seize drugs from smugglers or have any direct involvement in stopping the migrant caravan...

Essentially, our troops will support our Border Patrol but they can do nothing directly to stop the invaders.

We need to drastically change our immigration, birthright and refugee laws to remove all incentive for the foreign invasion that our government has allowing. Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen with a divided Congress.

Would the President's declaration of a national emergency for the purpose of national security give federal troops the power and action they need to stop the invaders?

If these invaders are being funded by Soros and/or other Americans, can these American scum be arrested for creating lawlessness ?

Headed to San Diego next week. Will get first hand info from my family in TJ. I’m sure CA is pretty secure. AZ is needing more help along with NM and TX.

ROE are not stagnant, rules can change if the situation necessitates.

“Troops will not be allowed to detain immigrants, seize drugs from smugglers or have any direct involvement in stopping the migrant caravan...”

Troops can’t engage them, but their equipment (barriers, concertina, etc.) can spot & block them.

Essentially, our troops will support our Border Patrol but they can do nothing directly to stop the invaders. That is, until one of the unwashed masses hits or otherwise attacks one of our military. Then it's just self defense.
