The additional troops are to provide what one official described as logistical support to the Border Patrol. This would include a variety of things such as vehicles, tents and equipment, and perhaps medical support. It was not immediately clear how many, if any, of the extra troops would be armed. Because they would not be performing law enforcement duties they would not be in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the federal government from using the armed forces in a domestic police role.

There already are about 2,000 National Guard troops assisting at the border under a previous Pentagon arrangement.

Trump announced that he's "bringing out the military" in a tweet Thursday morning, blaming Democrats for laws he said make it too hard to stop people at the border. He said those trying to enter the U.S. "will be stopped!"

How do you stop 10.000 people with 800 troops though? If you can't shoot them, they'll just spread out and run across the border.

An effective diplomatic leader would negotiate their stoppage with Mexico behind the scenes.

Not on Twitter, not on TV and not in rallies. But quietly behind the scenes.

They have a 1000 miles to go and the fact they are still coming is ridiculous.

daaaamn i was wondering where they were at in this journey. i figured 80% of them would give up wtih medical conditions and overall exhaustion.
but yeah you have to be slick with how you handle this stuff. it's not 1 +2 = 3. as trump would like to believe

[dhawkeye1980]

what would you propose considering you can't shoot them?

Water cannons, pepper spray extinguishers, 30mm, pepper spray balls etc

Does this anger you cupcake?

1:9 - I like our military's odds.

Most of the 7,000 won't fight back after the first few waves.

[US_Ranger]

Lol a thinking anyone is going to get mowed down like a movie.

It's the threat that matters. Right now, people are working behind the scenes to take care of the problem. Whether it gets taken care of or not, we'll find out. Let the people who do this professionally take care of it.

Also, **** the US media for causing this problem to be worse.

[BullStampede]

8000 pls.

latest tweet telling them to turn around.

On my way to the border to protest the military’s presence. We need to help these immigrants!

since you're already there, you might as well go back

[kcadrenalin]

Well if the past couple of days has taught me anything, tossing a fake pipe bomb into the crowd should send them running for the hills.

[wickedman]

This is just an another inevitable backfire by the left... regardless of what happens - outside of someone getting killed. No sane American wants to watch a hoard of people run across our border unchecked. All it does is make me think that "The Wall" would actually be useful whereas I thought of it as kind of a campaign novelty before now.

lol as if hes not. this dude has cucked absolutely every world leader on every issue. its laughable to say the man who ended a 70 year war and denuclearized a brual dictator without firing a single bullet is not an effective diplomatic leader.

On planet earth, Mexico isn't doing anything to stop the caravan.

Maybe its president isn't so cucked?

[nin-com-poop]

Funny the libs don't think of the dangers of letting them in. Yet if danger occurs and they call the police they spit on.

Neither of those things have actually happened yet.

[Cleveland33]

Neither of those things have actually happened yet.

North and South Korea officially ended the war earlier this year

[MikeLowrrrey]

Why cant you shoot them?

I hope you're not serious. Trump won because idiots were calling him racist and tired of SJWs. Want Democrats to win? Kill everyone in this caravan and show it on national TV

[gixxer0.6g]

You know what would be really sweet right now?





















A FUKN WALL! Thanks a lot libs. It's almost like Trump knew this was coming and started campaigning for it two years ago. Now that we will own the House and Senate in a few weeks we'll finally be able to fund it.
