TRUMP CONSIDERING COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN THE BORDER — NO ASYLUM
President Donald Trump is reportedly considering shutting down the U.S. border from illegal immigrants trying to flee to the U.S. from Central America.The Trump administration is drafting an executive order that would pause entry for immigrants traveling from countries in Central America due to national security risks. The administration is also considering sending around 1,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, The Washington Post reported. This comes as a migrant caravan of nearly 10,000 people from Central America travels through Mexico, headed toward the U.S. for asylum.
“The administration is considering a wide range of administrative, legal and legislative options to address the Democrat-created crisis of mass illegal immigration. No decisions have been made at this time. Nor will we forecast to smugglers or caravans what precise strategies will be employed,” a White House official told NBC News.
News broke Thursday that Secretary of Defense James Mattis is expected to deploy hundreds of U.S. troops to the southern border to assist Border Patrol. Trump has repeatedly mentioned he will send U.S. troops to the southern border to stop the caravan, calling it a national emergency on Twitter Thursday.

The answer is regime change back home. But what can we do? Another Bay of Pigs? Eventually and surely, that leaves only "Raise the drawbridge."
So while the troops at the border will be armed, they will only legally be able to assist US border officials by doing things like helping transport border agents and providing emergency medical care to those who need it.US law forbids them from physically detaining individuals at the border.

Interesting. Maybe they can help with emergency medical care then.
by the way, Trump is sending 52 hundred troops to the border.
People are most likely stretching that posse comitatus act way too far.
