Trump Says He's 'Bringing Out The Military' For Migrant Caravan
- 6 years ago
President Trump on Thursday again tweeted about the migrant caravan.
President Trump announced his intention to bring "out the military" for the migrant caravan. "Brandon Judd of the National Border Patrol Council is right when he says on @foxandfriends that the Democrat inspired laws make it tough for us to stop people at the Border," he wrote in a Thursday tweet. "MUST BE CHANDED, but I am bringing out the military for this National Emergency. They will be stopped!" Just days prior, Trump said via Twitter: "Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the Midterms! So unfair to those who come in legally." The Washington Post reports that the caravan appears to be without a leader, so it is unclear if those involved will attempt to illegally cross the U.S. border or seek asylum by traveling to an official U.S. checkpoint. According to the New York Times, "A domestic political dispute in Honduras," not "Democrat inspired laws," seems to be the motivation for the estimated 7,000-person exodus and move toward the United States.
