by The Right Scoop

The AP is reporting right now that General Mattis is expected to sign an order that will send an additional 800 troops to the US border with Mexico in anticipation of the 7,000+ migrant mob headed our way.


 
Reuters is reporting it could be 1,000:

Fox News is confirming it too:

According to a Pentagon reporter, this will put the number of troops on the border up to nearly 3,000:

There’s no word yet on how this will be handled at the border, whether the border will be closed as Trump suggested last week.

If we hear anymore on this we’ll be sure to bring it to you…

UPDATE:

Here’s more from the AP:

A U.S. official says Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is expected to sign an order as early as Thursday sending 800 or more troops to the southern border to support the Border Patrol.

Mattis is responding to a request from President Donald Trump, who says he’s “bringing out the military” to address what he’s calling a national emergency at the border.

The U.S. official was not authorized to speak publicly because the details had not yet been finalized and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The additional troops are to provide what one official described as logistical support to the Border Patrol. This would include a variety of things such as vehicles, tents and equipment.

There already are about 2,000 National Guard troops assisting at the border under a previous Pentagon arrangement.
