PRAGUE — The U.S. military has already begun delivering jersey barriers to the southern border in conjunction with plans to deploy active duty troops there, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Sunday as a caravan of Central Americans slowly heads across Mexico toward the United States.
Mattis told reporters traveling with him that details of the deployment are still being worked out but he should have them Sunday night. They will include exactly how many forces are needed.
The additional troops will provide logistical and other support to the Border Patrol, and will bolster the efforts of the approximately 2,000 National Guard forces already there. The new forces are expected to provide logistical assistance such as air support and equipment, including vehicles and tents.
National Guard troops routinely perform those same functions, so it is not clear why active duty forces are being used.
President Donald Trump for the past week has been calling attention to the caravan heading by foot into southern Mexico, but it is still hundreds of miles from U.S. soil.

Good. Not surprising.
But these crowds only need to drive up to the border and them scramble a foot onto US territory.
Whatever it takes.

Such wires with a passable military patrol road all along. If the military were putting that up, in military time, I would start to see the effort as sincere.
Good points. That’s what is so frustrating about this fabricated confrontation. The immigrants hold most of the cards once it gets down to the final couple of hundred yards.
Stacks of razor wire between jersey barriers would work well.
So would I. Sufficient warning would have been well provided.
He said nothing about troops deployed or where yet.
You are correct, he will not tell them, he’ll just do it.
New Jersey Median Barrier History. The New Jersey Median Barrier is the tapered concrete barrier that is used in many narrow highway medians, to prevent vehicle crossovers into oncoming traffic. ... The first concrete median barrier used in New Jersey was installed in 1955, and it was only 18 inches tall.
Prior to 1955 they simply had Chris Christie lie down on the highway. Hence the Bridgegate Scandal. (Kidding.)
(The expected cross point is Texas not CA.)
Then I suggest that we round them up and put them in detention camps in Southern California. Watch Jerry Brown squirm when the 9th Circuit starts ordering them to be released in HIS STATE.
That’s a start.
There's a river, so finding water for the water canons will not be a problem.
True, they will not tell everything in advance, and rightly so.
Comforting? To know how prepared? we are full a full scale invasion in our border.
Trump's not a politician. Congress has no say in criminal prosecutions for violations of federal law.
Thanks for the report.
Comforting? To know how prepared? we are FOR a full scale invasion ON our border?
