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.

Perhaps they are going to use the border patrol at Cali border!!! The caravan has said they are heading to Tiajuana to go through Cali border, I am sure they will have this covered!!! Remember we have a HUGE wall at our border also!!!!
What? And violate their 2nd Amendment rights before they can even enter the country? Racism! Give him back his anti-tank missiles, right now!
Liz, POTUS said tonight on Ingrahm that these folks WOULD NOT be released they would be held in tent cities until their case is heard NO ONE will be released into the US!!!!!
Hi StAnDeliver the military building the wall is a PERFECT solution, SeaBees would build a BIG beautiful wall WITHOUT all the red tape!!!!
CB Trump is setting up HUGE tent cities to detain EVERYONE trying to cross the border they WILL NOT be released until their hearing they will be HELD right there until they are sent home!!! MANY will wish to return home immediately when they find out NO JOB, living in tent away from family NO MONEY going to those at home!!! This will cost tax payers a fortune sending these invaders home BUT in the long run probably not more than the taxpayer free stuff to them!!!!
There is a company in Scottsdale, Dillon Aero, which could provide a more nuanced response than implied in your photo.
Please refer (repeatedly) to post #115.
Perhaps print it out and keep it on your desk.
“The Last of the Meeheecans” and “Gingers” are two of my favorite South Park episodes.
Setting up a “tent city” only delays their entry into the US.
Order them to return from where they came.
No tent city.
No illegals in USA.
Build the wall.
Deport them all.
With this guy in charge? LOL
There will be 3 times that many deployed the second week.
But the rules say one needs a gallon of water daily; if in the desert.
Good.
Tent poles?
Sorry; but NOTHING is needed for those TRYING to cross the border.
Only those that actually land on our soil need shelter.
And I hope they bring their own; for I do not want any of MY taxes spent on anything other than razor wire.
I 'order' my pet goats to do something every day.
Ya wanna know how efficiently they actually follow my instructions?
There should be NONE to 'deport' if they do not get in.
(Sniffle) such a happy-go lucky bunch--- patiently waiting. Hoping for a "new life." (sob).
