Trump Reacts, Sends Military at Mexico Border to Stop Illegal Crossings Into the US

In order to prevent the so-called caravan of 1500+ illegal immigrants from South America from entering the United States, President Trump announced on Tuesday that he’ll deploy the military to the US-Mexico border. The POTUS told reporters during a White House presser:

“We are going to be guarding our border with our military. That’s a big step. We cannot have people flowing into our country illegally, disappearing, and by the way never showing up for court.”

The comments made by President Trump in the video above hint at the current policies enforced by the United States, i.e. border agents are required to implement some kind of a catch and release program with family units who are illegally entering the United States via Mexico. The Donald warned repeatedly via Twitter about the incoming caravan of illegal immigrants arriving from Honduras (most of them) and other South American countries, which are now making their way through Mexico to the US border.

Earlier today, President Trump posted on Twitter, "We will be taking strong action today."

Waiting...

Let’s use our military to defend our borders. This is a primary mission of our President and the military.

Find out where that invading army is planning to cross, erect a fence with concertina wire, and firehose anyone trying to cross it.

I expected the 4th Infantry to be deployed to the southern border on Sept. 12, 2001.
I expected sweeps for illegal aliens and terrorists.
A patriot President would have done it.

Why have a military if they only protect other countries?

I think President Trump has the balls to do this but will he?

“Why have a military if they only protect other countries?”

Worth repeating.

A powerful stream of water knocking a little girl off a fence is not something you want to see on the nightly news. So, there would need to be a media blackout. No reporters within 100 miles and a no fly zone of 100 miles. Shoot down all drones as soon as they enter the zone

Sadly we did not have a Patriot in the WH on 9/11, we had a Globalist.

A competent patriot, like Trump, would not even have allowed 9/11to happen

Sadly, Trump is apparently sending troops to support rather than secure the border. No different than Bush Junior or Obama.

that omnibus bill had money in it for building walls in Jordan, Lebanon and Tunisia. Why are we always so concerned about the borders of other countries, but leave our borders open? I think all living presidents should be called to testify under oath about their blatant neglect of our borders, and account for why they weren’t the least bit concerned about all the murders and other crimes committed by illegals.

I am listening the the DHS secretary on Fox now and she is very clear that this is support role only, same as Bush Junior and Obama did. These are not troops to strongly secure the border as Trump announced. A bit of bait and switch.

We had an open-borders amnesty whore and stuttering drunk who ran and hid on 9-11, who stammered nonsense about “Islam means peace”, who covered for the Saudis, who got a few thousand Americans killed and maimed uselessly invading the enemy of those Saudis (while young Saudi men hung out in shopping malls), who almost managed to ram Amnesty down our throats, who did manage to INCREASE Islamic immigration into our homeland - and whose general ineptness set the table for a cakewalk election win by a hardcore anti-American Leftist.

Round them up on the Mexican side of the border and take them to Gitmo to sort them out.

For every illegal entering the country — add $1 million to the NAFTA negotiation deal. 1000 illegals = $1 billion. 20,000 = $20 billion.

Trump will get Mexico to pay for the wall this way.
