U.S. deploying 5,200 troops to Mexico border in response to migrant caravan

The U.S. military will deploy over 5,200 troops, including armed soldiers, to bolster President Donald Trump’s efforts to secure the border with Mexico as a caravan of migrants treks toward the frontier, a senior U.S. general said on Monday.

General Terrence O’Shaughnessy, the head of U.S. Northern Command, said 800 U.S. troops were already en route to the Texas border and 5,200 would be headed to the southwest region by week’s end, far higher than the 800 to 1,000 initially forecast.

The caravan is 1000 miles away and will take approximately 2 months to reach the border at which time the number of refugees will be reduced to a few hundred if that. This is why I posted this in Weird Nooze as it's just bogus Trump fear mongering.

"What a difference another year makes! Now it seems the Mexican government is sending fear to it's northern borders utilizing 27,000 armed troops."
