Hundreds of US TROOPS heading to the border to deal with mass migration “caravan,” official says

56

In February 2015, the Islamic State (ISIS) promised to flood Europe with 500,000 refugees. And an Islamic State operative boasted that among the flood of refugees, 4,000 Islamic State jihadis had entered Europe. “They are going like refugees,” he said. “Just wait…..”

The Islamic State warned Europe that they would be sending an army into Europe via a mass wave of migrants. And they did. Terror attacks ensued on a massive scale – Paris, Nice, Berlin, London, Belgium. A number of the jihad attackers had come to Europe via the migration.

100 Islamic State Terrorists Caught in Guatemala as Central American Caravan Erupts in Chaos at Mexico Border

ISIS “is driving mass migration from Africa to send jihadists into Europe,” “Syria was bad, but wait until a region with 500 million people is destabilised.”

Hundreds of US troops heading to the border to deal with migrant caravan, official says

FOX News, October 25, 2018:

Hundreds of U.S. troops are set to make their way to the southern border to help Homeland Security and the National Guard as a caravan with thousands of migrants pushes north with the goal of crossing into America, a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News on Thursday.

The official said roughly 800 soldiers will be sent to the area to offer “logistical support,” including providing tents and vehicles.

It’s not immediately clear which units are being tasked with the mission as details are still being finalized.

Defense Secretary James Mattis could sign the deployment orders as soon as today.

There are currently 2,100 National Guard troops on the southern border assisting Homeland Security.

President Trump tweeted Thursday morning that “I am bringing out the military for this National Emergency. They will be stopped!”

The migrant caravan as of Thursday is still in southern Mexico, more than 1,000 miles away from the nearest entry point into the U.S. Its size is estimated to be around 7,000, but many of those currently walking are suffering from exhaustion, dehydration and heat stroke.

Some also told Fox News they fear getting attacked if they hop on a cargo train or getting deported if they take a bus.

“They are going to walk as long as they can,” said caravan member Brian Colindres, “or as far as they can.”

A majority of those walking say they are looking for a better life north of the border are fleeing poverty and violence in Honduras, where the caravan originated. They are exhausted and unaware of what will happen – but they remain optimistic.

800 is what is being reported. To do what? Be a welcoming committee? Serve candy to the kids and enchiladas to the adults? I am surprised Trump got permission for that many. Here he is with his mentor the CP of the KSA!

I’m sure they have their instructions. And I’m pretty sure those instructions don’t include acting as a welcoming committee. What happens next will depend on whether or not those in the caravan think that the US military is bluffing. They may or may not want to put it to the test.

They’ve probably been told the U.S. troops will do nothing. This is meant to stoke some sort of violent confrontation, where the demoncrats and the left can then come out and loudly proclaim that Trump and his military ‘murdered women and children.’ They are salivating that that happens.

Agreed. The 99% men will shove the few women and babies (the smaller and younger the better) to the front line, then make a dash for it. The US troops will then have the choice of allowing thousands of illegals into the country or causing carnage. There will be cameras at the ready to capture every image that shows any woman or baby in a vulnerable position. Of course, if these big brave boys in the caravan were to be this brave in their home country, they could well generate change, but then they wouldn’t have the backing that they’ll have at the border, from the Dems.

I predict this conflict will happen, almost precisely, as you’ve indicated.

800 unarmed soldiers serving ‘support’ functions for Border Patrol are ill-equipped to quell and quash the invasion-not to mention the other which is well on the way.

We’ve, apparently, learned no lessons from how Israel deals with the identical crisis repeatedly and successfully.

So this will not end well for this administration. And America will face grave consequences. The Left fully understands that.

When I read your post, my mind carried me back to Bull Connor’s riot dogs, tear-gas cannisters and water-hoses.

As a young, black boy (growing up in the suburbs of Chicago) I was indelibly impacted by that scene-which led me to devote a significant portion of my lifetime fighting for civil rights.

That awful scene, displayed across television sets all across the country, marked a crucial and critical turning-point for the success of that Movement.

That cause was noble. The MSM served a useful purpose, then, by reporting the conflict, letting the nation (and the world) know about the grave injustices perpetrated against American citizens, simply, because they were black.

This invasion, however, is quite different. These people have no right to enter our nation illegally. So it’s neither a noble venture nor will it serve a redemptive purpose. Instead, it’s designed (specifically) to hasten the destruction of our sovereign nation in the interest of left-wing radicals/globalists.

And, today, the MSM will (unfortunately) serve an ignoble purpose in doing, precisely, what you’ve said, “…the demoncrats and the left can then come out and loudly proclaim that Trump and his military ‘murdered women and children.’ They are salivating that that happens.”

Trump doesn’t need permission. It is a function of his Executive power under the Constitution, to protect our border from an invasion and this is an invasion.

None of the caravan members should be allowed to cross the border into our country. If the “troops” are to supply logistics and tents, that is saying the caravan will be granted permission to enter the country. Say goodbye to the rePUblican party and any second chance for President Trump to have a second term.

Indeed. Reagan didn’t stop it in 1987-88. No one else since has. This is what happens when you have internationalists calling themselves Presidents calling the shots. Reagan may have started out well, but eventually he joined them. Pays well, by the way. Marvelous accolades are icing on the cake.

I hope Trump capitalizes on this as the INVASION it is.
NO decent person, male, female, or child FORCES themselves on a country against their laws.
They have specifically been told NOT TO COME and they come anyway.
Besides, Mexico is the FIRST free country they have to seek “asylum” from not the U.S..

It was reported yesterday that they all have identical backpacks that say USAID. So this is an operation of the America hating State Dept. that is still heavily infiltrated by Obama personnel. This is the working of Deep State. They don’t care about those people. They are just props for the taking down of American sovereignty. If you go to those countries you will see a lot of drinking and a lot of violence. Problems are often settled with machetes. These are spiritual issues that are often prevalent in places in which the Roman Church dominates. The true Gospel gets lost in the mix.

Naturally, the woman, small children, and infants in carriages will be placed at the head of the line.

This will both neuter the military, and provide new images to fuel the media’s obsessive hatred of the president.

I recall a couple of months back that the news media was saying that the border crossings had all but ceased, dropped by 60%. Not much concern or no worries. That was a lie! The crossings were the same as they were in 2015 and 16. But Trump was being treated like a mushroom, kept in the dark and fed bullshit. By those deep state White House hold overs from the Obama administration. In fact it was feared that Trump was in the Oval Office but Obama was still President! Remember Trump is a businessman not a politician. So if he is kept busy with the economy and foreign policy, then the deep state can take over and run the domestic affairs while Trumps is preoccupied elsewhere. Trump likes to flaunt his accomplishments. So he is easily distracted from what’s going on behind the scenes.

“They are exhausted and unaware of what will happen – but they remain optimistic.” “Optimistic?” About what? Since they started, Trump has said we will not allow them to come through. Do they really think they’ll get to the border and ICE will just let them through. They can just stay stuck at the border. Let Mexico deal with them, since they let them march unmolested through their entire country.

When a mob this size consisting of multiple nationalities is moving toward the U.S. border with the intent to leave Mexico without utilizing a Port of Exit and enter the USA without using a Port of Entry…it is not the migration of migrants….it is, in fact, an invasion by criminals with unknown intent!
They must not be allowed to enter the US! Mexico must be held accountable! Financially and diplomatically!

Hitler marched into countries all over Europe in 1939. If we had not had the English Channel he would have marched into Britain also. Only the presence of the Royal navy and the RAF stopped him.
Get ready Americans if this invasion succeeds there will be many more. Do not let the MSM tell you it is racist to stop an invasion like that.

The Next War”, written by Casper Weinberger and Peter Schweitzer, with a forward by Lady Margaret Thatcher (1998), is a realistic fictional book which describes possible scenarios that might lead to a major war.
The scenario dealing with a collapse of the Mexican government, leading to hordes of people streaming to the US border and our military manning of the border is riveting.
I reread it as soon as I learned about the “migrant” caravan.
A conservative radio or TV host should interview Mr. Schweitzer about this 20 year old prescient book.

The “Troops,” all 800 of them are Engineers, Lawyers and Doctors. Hardly a fighting “Force,” but, a force that can build, defend rights and immunize. We are being sold out…..again. These caravaners will be allowed in, after claiming asylum, have their “Rights” explained to them by the military lawyers, get checked out by the military doctors and move into tents erected by the engineers. The propaganda media wants us to think of “Troops,” but not what kind of troops. Suggestion……..put two combat ready divisions on the border, ASAP with orders to prevent ANY crossing of the border. Let the engineers, lawyers and doctors stay hoe and watch on TV. If my memory serves me correctly, D Day was not executed by lawyers and doctors. We are being invaded and need to defend our sovereignty. No more PC nonsense. Down and dirty is needed.

If they come, they will be arrested, processed, given a court date, released and never heard from again! The military is there to assist with the processing. Nothing more and nothing less. They can’t arrest them until they step on to U.S. soil. Once they are arrested the procedural BS begins and they are here forever! Because the procedure is set up that way. Oh well, oh hell! We need a purge. Make a run for the border to assist the Patrol and take back our country. “Remember the Alamo!”

75 to 80% in this invading force are young males under the age of thirty. Similar to the Muslim force that has invaded Europe. Bringing chaos, rape, mayhem and murder with them. This is what America has to look forward to. And all sponsored by the Left Leaning Liberal Democrats. Let’s make sure when they get to Tijuana they are given maps to Beverly Hills, Brentwood and every Ritzy gated neighborhood in California becomes a tent city!
