The uniformed troops will likely be active-duty Army, with perhaps some Army Reserve and Marines. They will be engineers, planners and military police. Pilots and aircraft will assist transporting CBP personnel.

Troops will not have arresting power and will not interact with migrants.

What an extraordinary waste of resources and man hours! This is
#GOP political grandstanding at its absolute worst -- solely meant to fire up the base to turn out for the midterms. Despicable!#VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare -
We have 7000 men carrying the flags of their country headed to our border while chanting anti Trump slogans. This is an act of war. Do you want to just let 7000 violent thugs into your neighborhood?

Where are you receiving this apocalyptic news from? Mad Max Road Warrior is a work of fiction...

Why? Just why? Half of the "caravan" have returned to their original countries, many have been offered asylum in Mexico, and the rest are still 2 months away on foot but heading to a a specific Port of Entry to apply for asylum legally here in US. So again, WHY?
-
For the optics before the election.

Why? According to US law, all of those refugees have a right to claim asylum at a legal port of entry and have an opportunity to present their case before a judge. We cannot legally stop them from making that claim. Or does law and order no longer matter?
-
The regular workers will be quickly overwhelmed by the 1000+ people showing up all at once. They are being sent to provide assistance. Hopefully, that is what they actually do... assist.
-
How do they assist if they aren’t allowed to interact with the refugees?
-
They can set up facilities, provide food/water and sanitation logistics, etc.
-
Note: I’m not suggesting the Army are the right choice for these activities... merely addressing the OP’s question
-
Yeah, I understand what you're saying and hopefully it works out exactly that way. I remain skeptical. And I definitely don't think the army is the appropriate organization to send to help civilian workers process refugees.

No choice. At least they’re protecting their border. Our pinhead Government in Canada is at about 28,000 illegal and they still haven’t had 1 thought
as to what could be done. They’re stunned

Have you considered that the numbers of people seeking asylum are related to who is in power of their countries rather than yours?
-
Trump? They’re coming from the US. Wherever they came from originally is another matter.

So they're sending 5000 troops and there are only 1000 refugees? Five troop members per tired, hungry, down trodden South American? WTF is wrong with us? And why I isn't the MSM reporting this with outrage?
-
There are actually, currently, over 14,000 refugees amd the numbers are growing with additional caravans continuing to deploy throughout South America, Honduras and other countries.
-
Your source? I haven’t read about 14,000

I have been following Mexican Media, considering ours is so dishonest. https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/english/14000-hondurans-caravan … And, there are also violent criminals and cartels in it. Check out

That's wise of you to consider international media. People who only listen to one source of information can be easily manipulated. Still, Mexican media can be just as dishonest or more so. You never know. It's possible no one really knows how many.

I follow media and independents from all over the world. As well as our congressional hearings/testimony. And other countries congress/Parliamentary hearings. MSM spins ALOT of the news out there. I consider myself a truther..I research and cross ref ALOT!
