Hundreds of U.S. military to deploy to the border

Hundreds of U.S. military troops are getting "saddled up" to make their way to the southern border to assist Homeland Security and the National Guard deal with the so-called caravan of illegal migrants who plan to illegally invade the United States.

A government official said about 800 soldiers will be transported to the area and will offer "logistical support," providing tents and vehicles among other things.

Details of the move have not been finalized but Defense Secretary James Mattis may sign the deployment orders as early as today, Thursday.

As of now, there are 2,100 National Guard troops assisting Homeland Security along the southern border.

President Trump tweeted on Thursday, "I am bringing out the military for this National Emergency. They will be stopped!"

As of today, the caravan is still in southern Mexico, over 1,000 miles from the closest entry point into the U.S. The caravan is estimated to contain about 7,000 illegal aliens and many of those who are walking are too pooped to pop and are exhausted, suffering from dehydration and heat stroke. This is sad, but it is their decision and it happens to be an illegal decision.

The majority of the walkers interviewed say they're looking for a better life north of the border and are fleeing poverty and violence in Honduras, yet some of those in the crowd are carrying Honduran flags and burning American flags.

If we want a country, we need to have borders, and people who come here illegally are perpetrating a criminal act. What evidence do we have that this would be their only criminal act?
