    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 moves north, 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.

    We are a nation of laws and we will secure our border.

    If I am not mistaken, their intention is to come legally, not illegally. Seems like Trump is overreacting some, although it shouldn't hurt having the troops down there even if they are not needed.

    Some? No. A whole bunch. You are right of course, they will be screened and if like previous caravans 10-20% will get asylum and the rest turned back. No attacks or rushing the border. The only reason to send the army is to provide humanitarian assistance as they're sorted out. If he sent them to be an armed presense he should pay out of his own pocket and apologize for the humiliation of those poor soldiers

    I am referring to the US border. They have said their goal is to apply for asylum.

    The application will be denied, so in they will remain in Mexico.

    Hundreds of troops along a what , 1200 mile border will not amount to crap. That is just all show by the Trumpeizda Man.

    There cannot never be enough threads about the Great Invasion.
    Hey why don't call it the Great Escape since they claim that they are escaping from the drug dealers, the poverty, the socialist governments, dirctatorships.

    Asylum for what? There are actual rules and standards in order to receive asylum in the US, and just being from a shithole isn't one of them...

    They can explain their reasons in their application. IMO the applications will be denied based on new "last in first out" policy.

    They can apply from wherever they come from. They need to seal the border and build the wall, this is ridiculous...

    They are headed to McAllen,TX so there is no need to send any troops elsewhere.

    Common sense suggests they would still come and apply at the entry point with, or without a wall. Why would a wall change it? Seeking an asylum is a form of legal immigration.

    They can apply from the US embassy in whatever country they live in, not invade our country. This is total BS and it needs to end. A simple policy change of only accepting asylum applications from our overseas embassies would end this sorry excuse to enter our country illegally...

    No, they cannot.

    "You Cannot Apply for Asylum at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. ... U.S. law does not consider asylum seekers at U.S. embassies and consulates to be “physically present in the United States” (or at a U.S. border or point of entry)."

    Some countries don't even have US Embassies. Think about the Vietnamese refugees for example.

    Why do they want to go to the U.S. anyway? The dope is much better down south.

    That's not possible. If they're seeking asylum, they're required to apply for it in Mexico.

    Spin it however you want, it's an invasion of people intending to enter illegally.

    They could apply to the US through a friendly embassy. This garbage needs to end. We do not need to accept asylum requests here, we can demand it be done in the country of origin, or any other country but here...

    I don't need to spin it. Vietnamese came here through many countries. They will come, they will apply, and they will be turned back.

    Just because Trump is freaking out about this, doesn't mean everyone has to follow suit.

    You mean the Vietnamese that liberals didn't want in California?

    The one's who were jumping into American helicopters fleeing an incoming military attack during war?

    Your example is a very bad one.

    They won't be applying if they don't cross the border.
