DONALD TRUMP HAS ORDERED THOUSANDS MORE TROOPS TO MEXICAN BORDER, NEW DEPLOYMENT DOCUMENT SUGGESTS
Newsweek ^ | 04-16-19 | JAMES LAPORTA, RAMSEY TOUCHBERRY AND CHANTAL DA SILVA

President Donald Trump ordered thousands of additional American troops to the southwest border over the next two months, according to a document drafted last week by Defense Department officials and obtained by Newsweek. Officials in U.S. Army North, the unit overseeing the border mission, drafted the deployment orders in anticipation of a new request from Homeland Security to aid U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the ongoing joint agency border mission. The document further demonstrated President Trump’s increasing urgency to address a crisis at the southern border, with the orders being drafted days after Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned on April 7.

This would be great if they have ROEs that say shoot anyone that crosses our border illegally. However, they are nothing more than wall paper at American taxpayer expense.

Secure the damn border with shoot to kill orders. EFF em

Officials in U.S. Army North,

This was setup during the Obama years to squelch American Citizens if they got out of line. This corresponds with relocation camps also.

probably stopped by an Obama judge

Obama judges can do a lot of mischief, but they are powerless to stop troop deployment.

Use Letters of Marque and Reprisal and give us free reign to kill all invaders without penalty.

no american army will be ordered to fire on hundreds of unarmed people at the border. must be done with less-than lethal force. The fact that we have rolled out only a few miles of wire means we have wasted 2 years.

We will never see written orders that specific.

Watch for an incident where US troops are fired upon by Cartel forces and return lethal fire - across the border. Then we will know what Rules-of-Engagement have been ordered.

Also watch for expansion of the detention camps while all the Democrats are distracted with whining about how illegals should not be bussed to their "sanctuary cities".

I wonder if states9like Texas) could have the authority to reject invaders because they are exempt from the amnesty treaties AND THEY FEEL THREATENED and have a duty to defend the state and protect their citizens

I wonder if the United Nations and/or amnesty international has a clandestine hand in this invasion

Isn’t it about time we establish a buffer safe zone on the Mexican side of the border. Occupied with US troops with orders to stop anyone BEFORE they reach the US border?

Latest invaders are coming from Africa, and with Ebola.
Hope our troops realize that.

Coming next: OAC urges soldiers to disobey POTUS. “He’s not the boss of you!” says OAC, Omar and Tlaib. “What they said!” says Nancy Pelosi. “President Trump should respect the law!” says Chucky Schumer. District Judge Knee-Jerk Leftard of San Francisco issues injunction.

No judge has the power to stop the CIC from deploying troops anywhere he damn well pleases.

These freaks can issue injunction after injunction and WH staff is perfectly free to use them as bird cage liners. They’re too rough to make good TP.

And these are the people who are always caterwauling about saving trees.

Some black-robed tyrant believed he had the power to stop Trump’s tranny ban.

But he can stop them from sending illegals back over the border, or denying them "asylum", or any number of other maddening and ridiculous things. Moreover, our troops are not going to be laying land mines or firing on the Illegal Invaders. Trump and our military would be international pariahs and Trump would be charged and convicted in the Hague as a war criminal.

I am not saying I disagree with sending more troops to the borders. California and Arizona need at least 50,000 there yesterday. Our country is being invaded.

If you really want my opinion, we need to go to war with Mexico.

Long past time. That would mean war with Mexico. Something I agree that we probably have to do at this point.

To establish a buffer zone, you have to invade the opposing nation.

That is war, under any other name.

Mexico is and has been at war with us for a very, very long time. Their drug cartels actually run the border, and they run their police, they run their judges, they run their military.

Correct. But I believe they can stop the troops from preventing "asylum" of the "migrants."

At least until we are in an actual war. The troops are not going to be laying land mines or firing on the invaders, so what will they be doing? Trying to shore up the few miles of existing fence and the concertina wire barriers, I imagine.
