Trump orders 5,000 troops to the southern border!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - October 29, 2018 - Fascist Police States of Amerika President Donald Trump is escalating his threats against a migrant caravan traveling to the FPSA border, labeling the effort an “invasion” and declaring the FPSA “military is waiting for you”.
Three FPSA officials say the number of military troops deployed to the southern border in support of the Customs and Border Patrol could be in the thousands.
The Wall Street Journal reported that The Pentagon plans to deploy 5,000 troops, mainly military police and engineers. Troops will mainly be stationed at ports of entry along Texas, Arizona, and Kalifornia.
Trump tweeted Monday about the caravan of several thousand Central American migrants moving through Mexico, saying no one will be admitted “unless you go through the legal process.”
Trump also said the group includes “gang members and some very bad people.” He made similar claims last week.
The Pentagon last week approved a request for additional troops at the southern border. The White House is also weighing additional border security measures.
The Journal reported the planned deployment was likely to be much higher than officials had disclosed late last week when preliminary figures of 800 to 1,000 were cited.
The troops are expected to perform a wide variety of functions such as transporting supplies for the Border Patrol, but not engage directly with migrants seeking to cross the border from Mexico, according to officials.
