I don’t think we are doing enough. While 5000 additional troops can be beneficial, they will be limited to support duties. Our southern border need to be secured and if need be closed until it has been secured. I hope that we have a contingency because I suspect that they will just charge the border like they did at Mexico’s Southern Boarder.

Re: 5,000 not enough

The commander said this is “just the start” of the operation - I think this is the start of a long operation. They are building housing along the border for troops ... this is not an ‘Obama like’ Photo op ...

Law enforcement only comes into play if the invaders cross the border. Before the border, the military has full authority to do what is necessary to stop the invaders. While shoot to kill orders are not likely, the military has their own rules of engagement. It is my understanding the ROEs have been freed up under Mattis to no longer require the military to be shot at first before engaging the enemy.
