The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday that U.S. military personnel will not interact with immigrants approaching the U.S. border after President Trump deployed thousands of troops to prepare for the caravan.
"There is no plan for U.S. military forces to be involved in the actual mission of denying people entry to the United States," Gen. Joseph Dunford said, according to ABC News.
"There is no plan for the soldiers to come in with immigrants or to reinforce the Department of Homeland Security as they are conducting their mission," he continued. "We are providing enabling capability."
Military personnel will instead focusing on assisting Border Patrol staff to fill in gaps in physical barriers along the border, ABC reported.
Troops assisted in laying barbed wire along the border over the weekend.
Trump has in recent weeks made the approaching caravan of migrants a focal point of his midterm campaign message. He has painted the group as an imminent threat to national security, and dispatched the military to the border in response.
The president has suggested troops might fire upon migrants who throw rocks, but later walked back those remarks.
Critics have suggested the deployment is a political stunt intended to gin up fervor among his base of supporters.
The Pentagon is on track to send 7,000 active duty troops to the southern border to stay through Dec. 15, but Trump said he may order the military to send as many as 15,000 to meet a shrinking caravan of several thousand migrants traveling from Central America.
The troop deployment along the border could cost between $42 million to $110 million, according to an independent study released Monday.

Try saying it right this time;
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
Barbed wire fencing.
The Hungarian approach.
Plans are thrown out the door when it hits the fan.
Well, that’s disappointing.
I thought we had an Army to protect the country.
Illegal INVADERS!
Illegal alien.
Immigrants are people who apply in their home country, wait their turn, learn the language, pay their fees and comply with the laws.
People who break in or overstay tourist visas are illegal aliens.
General Joseph Dunford calling these invaders “immigrants” tells me everything I need to know about him.
Dunford needs to go.
What the hell is the point of spending all this money on the military if they’re not going to even come into contact with this threat to America’s southern border?
How many billions was the last military budget?
When the government refuses to guard the country the duty falls to the people represented by the militia.
Well, the military is on the look out for militias.
This doesn’t sound good. But keep in mind that he said this “according to ABC News.” It’s possible that his words were twisted or lied about.
Correct.

How are you going to provide “enabling capability” in any meaningful fashion of you cannot come into contact with illegal immigants (or merely ‘immigrants’ as the General calls them)?
WHAT THE f*** IS enabling capability?
Speak English dammit. This idiot sounds like an obama boy..
I saw where you could buy a life sized cutout of Trump in a mag. We should have started a GOFundMe page to raise money to buy a few hundred of these cutouts and stand them side by side at the border. Imagine the nightmares that would cause.
No, but their 5.56mm projectiles will.
Mattis and the military generals are against doing anything a t the border.
This idiot sounds like an obama boy..

The officers that refused to salute the transgenderizing of the military were run out during the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
The only generals we have left are Obama boys.
