      Just in: A Pentagon official tells NPR that about 5,000 military support personnel will be deployed to the US-Mexico border. The official says the exact number “could be higher, could be lower.”

      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.

          He can send men to guard the border, but he can’t help Puerto Rico? The invisible is non-existent. But when it IS seen, it’s fake news. He is a visible ASS! Disaster politics: create a crisis so he can be a hero. Remember Endless Love? 1981 film? Start a fire.

          America sends a message of intolerance, indifference to lives & suffering by dispatching our armed forces to the border with Mexico. The xenophobes might cheer. Sensible Americans know migrant children are sill suffering in their cages and miss their families.

          Be thankful that these heroic army personnel will face the onslaught of MS-13 gang members, middle eastern terrorists, criminals, globablists, and diseased activists that the demon-crats have invited to pollute our native white blood!! (Or maybe they're just desperate refugees.)
