Pentagon Will Send Troops to Mexican Border
October 25, 2018 at 11:57 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Defense Secretary James Mattis is expected to sign deployment orders that could send 800 or more troops to the border with Mexico to help border patrol authorities stop a caravan of migrants from Central America moving through Mexico to enter the US, CNN reports.

1. Yeah! Shoot some women and kids! That will surely fix things!

[MineralMan]

2. Well, that's what the Army does, after all.

Which is why it's so moronic to send the military to the border to stop 7000 unarmed civilian migrants. Insanity.

But, there won't be any shooting. It's just a show thing for Trump. Ugh!

3. The caravan is 1000 miles from the border

Walking day and night, it would take two months to enter the US. Yesterday they did 25 miles. And lost a lot of caravaners in the process.

He must think we are idiots.

4. He's banking on the fact his base are.

[duforsure]

5. But they're not in our country,

So they really can't do anything , and trumps using this as another stunt for pr for him to promote.
