Defense secretary James Mattis on the border getting progress reports and giving pep talks. One thing about the US: we give you a mission, you'll do it, right? Preparing his troops to dig in for the holidays as they wait for the caravan of migrants and refugees still one week away from Tijuana. We want legal immigration that part of what makes America good but illegal we're going to carry out the law.
Mattis touring with the embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kirsten Nielsen insisting the nearly 6,000 troops are mostly unarmed and won't apprehend migrants, for President has all but stopped talking about the caravan after daily warnings in the lead-up to the election. I think you can't call it anything but a stunt here troops won't get combat pay but some will receive an additional 250 dollars a month for being away from their families.
