President Trump clued us into his plans earlier this morning:
More troops being sent to the Southern Border to stop the attempted Invasion of Illegals, through large Caravans, into our Country. We have stopped the previous Caravans, and we will stop these also. With a Wall it would be soooo much easier and less expensive. Being Built!

Now we know what he was talking about.
Pentagon: “The Department of Defense will deploy ~3,750 additional US forces to provide the additional support to CBP at the southwest border…This will raise the total Active Duty forces supporting CBP at the border to ~4,350. Additional units are being deployed for 90 days”

Could it be that he’s building up to declaring a national emergency?
Time will tell.
