President Trump said Tuesday the military would be guarding the U.S.-Mexico border until a border wall can be constructed and “proper security” put in place.
"We have very bad laws for our border and we are going to be doing some things, I’ve been speaking with Gen. Mattis, we’re going to be doing things militarily,” Trump said Tuesday before a working lunch with Baltic leaders. “Until we can have a wall and proper security, we are going to be guarding our border with the military. That’s a big step. We really haven’t done that before, and certainly not very much before.”
The president was referencing Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis. The Pentagon was waiting for more details immediately after Trump's announcement.

If he had not sent letter, and signed, there would still be ongoing argument in Congress over where to spend money! I love having President who prays, and follows God, NOT men!
I respect and love a President who in spite of the mediots who hate him, the rats and undocumented rats in congress is usually 2-3 steps ahead of them. They are constantly trying to play catch up with the master.
Corrupt liberal judge issuing injunction to stop this in three, two........
My Marine Corps son said he, and his fellow Marines would love to go to the border and protect it.
Darn, I wasted bytes when I used the word ‘corrupt’ before ‘liberal’.
See post 23 about Marines.
Agreed. Good point.
>> I don’t know about you but I’m pissed, it’s time to stop phukin around with this.<<
Brother you’re not the only one, and when I expressed that myself last evening on another thread I was harshly rebuked by some die-hard Trumpers (even though I’m one) for sounding off about the lack of resolve to get this damn job DONE. To hell with the RATs and RINOs in Congress and the Obamabots in the Courts, Trump needs to employ his full powers as CINC and get the southern border sealed — like NOW!
:) Fun to watch!
>>At this point I don’t give a flying fadoodle about “optics.” This is our country and it’s well past time to assert our rights. We’ve militarily defended about every other border in the free world. If we don’t defend our own we’d better stop pretending we’re a sovereign nation.<<
Perfectly stated, and I agree with every word.
One step closer to using Defense funds to build the Wall.
“Posse comitatus does NOT apply to the Marines”
or Coast Guard
In addition there are years of experience in similar climates to draw from.
Today is a good day.

Yes, he is finding you cannot make deals with Democrats, they are insane.
>>Corrupt liberal judge issuing injunction to stop this in three, two........<<
Well, this is as good an opportunity as any to give the Judicial Branch the middle-finger salute, and then let the folks in the street decide who should be running the country.
Not to worry, we don't use M-1s anymore.
Who has odds that Mexico’s ‘disbanding the caravan’ was Trump-related?
Those Warthogs are scary... when they fly over, you either shit your pants, or you yell, “Hell yeah!” ... depending on what side you are on.
At this point I don’t care.
I totally get that.
But the people organizing and paying this hoard don’t care if they are shot down at the border. The machinations behind this event WANT mother’s holding babies to be shot.
I wish I was a good enough person that I cared more about them. I feel guilty that I don’t.
I just don’t want President Trump to be blamed if the you know what hits the fan.
Bet those illegal lovers won’t be setting up water stations for the soldiers.
The troops that have seen the Warthog up close KNOW! I live about 10 miles from a military training area for aircraft air attacks. I too have seen and heard the Warthog doing its thing, “like a fire breathing dragon” as the nose mounted Gatling gun spits out its fire. You DO NOT want to be the intended target, TRUST ME.
