The U.S. military will have an actual force of up to 14,000 ready to intervene at the southern border with Mexico, including an additional 7,000 planned deployment in reserves on round-the-clock standby.

The Pentagon announced Monday that it will send up to 5,200 troops to the border ahead of the anticipated arrival of a caravan of Central American migrants that President Donald Trump has warned would not be able to enter the country. These troops, which "are in fact deploying with weapons" will join up to 2,000 National Guards already at the border for a combined force of about 7,200—or about the same amount of U.S. soldiers involved in the battle against the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria.

    1. :) I really have no idea what will be the end result of next Tuesday, but Rasmussen's polls are far different from the rest as usual. So maybe they we will be more or less correct.

  2. I live along the border and have read many stories of illegals pelting the Border Patrol and other LEO agencies with rocks. I hope someone advises these troops of that. Once in a while, one of the LEOs fire their weapon to defend themselves and then the U.S. media goes Coco Puffs.
