Operation Faithful Patriot:1st 100 US troops arrive to serve at border

The first 100 active-duty troops have arrived at the U.S.-Mexican border to provide support for Border Patrol agents as a caravan of migrants slowly makes its way northward from Central America, a Defense Department official told Fox News on Thursday evening.
The troops are doing initial assessments at the port of entry in McAllen, Texas. The official said there are about 2,600 troops now at staging bases, largely in Texas, with several thousand more expected to flow in through the weekend and move into California and Arizona.
The Pentagon said more than 7,000 active-duty troops are being sent to the southern border, with more possible.
The troops going to the border areas of Texas, Arizona and California are a small fraction of the nation's roughly 1.3 million active-duty service members, and the mission is set to last only 45 days.
Gen. Terrence O’Shaughnessy, who as head of U.S. Northern Command is leading the military operation, dubbed “Operation Faithful Patriot,” has argued that the caravan is a potential threat, although he has not fully defined the nature of that threat.
“I think what we have seen is we’ve seen clearly an organization at a higher level than we’ve seen before,” O’Shaughnessy said. “We’ve seen violence coming out of the caravan and we’ve seen as they’ve passed other international borders, we’ve seen them behave in a nature that has not been what we’ve seen in the past.”

If they violently and forcefully cross our border, they should be shot dead on the spot unapologetically.

A foreign invasion should be treated as such and terminated....... with extreme prejudice.

Overreaction to a "trumped-up" threat to provide cover for the fact that military engineer battalions are going to begin work on "the wall." (Look at the deployment OPORDS).
No word on whether or not Mexico will be paying. Because they aren't. But you can guess who is!

A pyramid of corpses would be a fantastic deterrent to any future violent invasion.

Just ask yourself one little question my friend - what would Obama have done? You should be damn thankful about this "stunt". Something tells me you don't want them to come into this country illegally and in such a massive way any more than I do. You just hate the Trump the messenger telling them they can't come in. That's exactly why the divide is so wide presently in this country.
