Defense Secretary Mattis To Send Hundreds Of US Troops To The Border

The massive migrant caravan is still making its way to the United States. We haven’t really heard about it in the last 24 hours, because of this suspicious package fiasco.

Things that make you go, “hmmmmmm.”

President Trump said those people would NOT be permitted to enter our country illegally, but up until now, we haven’t heard the Trump administration’s plan.

This is a start.

Defense Secretary Mattis is expected to send hundreds of troops the the US-Mexico border.

BREAKING: AP source: Defense Secretary Mattis expected to sign order to send at least 800 troops to US-Mexico border.

More from Fox News:

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.

I’ve seen some people say that this is nothing more than a waste of resources, because the caravan won’t arrive for “weeks.” Still– at least they’re doing SOMETHING. We can’t just ignore this and hope it goes away on its own. It won’t.

We are a great Sovereign Nation. We have Strong Borders and will never accept people coming into our Country illegally!

It seems like he’s standing firm…
