Roughly 5,000 U.S. troops will be deploying to the southern border in response to the migrant caravan pushing north through Mexico, a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News. Some of the troops will be deploying as early as Tuesday. The reinforcements headed to the U.S.-Mexico border are support troops, not combat troops. They will include engineers, aviation and medical personnel.

Sounds like a welcoming committee...?

This does not set well with me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That is not going to stop them.
Building a wall?
Sure sounds like it.
well that is better then the 800 as first reported
Are support troops armed?
Probably not as they are not in a war zone.
Not yet anyway.
The entire USA will become a war zone if we do not stop the illegal alien inundation.
They had better be, otherwise they become super targets.
Are combat troops even being considered in the White House,
or do his lawyers advise against it? These may be the same lawyers getting steamrolled every week by Mueller’s group.
sounds more like they will help the illegals with medical aid, housing, water etc.
Stop this nonsense and deploy miles upon miles of razor wire along the border backed by rubber bullets, water cannon etc.
If they set foot here then the ACLU, La Raza will get their liberal lawyers to go judge shopping and then next minute we will be told to take them all in
Is this the third time this article has been posted, or are we up to 15,000 troops now?
*rolls eyes*
They are not combat troops but they will be armed.
Hmm sounds like emotional support personnel - here’s your medical card, your EBT, your driver’s licence, your Sam’s Club membership card, your free sh*t card, your phone, your Nikes, etc etc. This is going put me in a lousy mood.
Hey, I searched for it. Not my problem.
Good, but we still need to impose some serious financial pain on Mexico or else the road through their country will see more caravans heading toward us. This disrespect for our border has to stop. How would Mwxico like it if we allowed Hatians to stream through our country and into Mexico?
Just did it again. Does not come up. Are you sure, oh, keeper of the titles?
I would not have even mentioned what their MOS was/is. As far as anyone needs to know, they are “troops” who are trained and equipped to fight, not shake hands, build housing or wipe behinds. If you are going to stop an army of invaders, be prepared to exchange fire. Pretty simple I would think.
