US
President Donald Trump says he`s deploying troops to the Border with Mexico, in
order to prevent a Central American migrant caravan from reaching the United
States.

In
a tweet, President Donald Trump said: "I`m bringing out the Military for
this national emergency." Referring to the caravan of migrants from
Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador on their 3,500 kms trek, he stressed:
"They will be stopped."
US
Defence Secretary James Mattis is now ready to deploy 800 troops to bolster the
US Border Patrol. It`s expected they will be National Guard. So far President
Trump has not carried out his threat to seal the US/Mexican Border. The caravan
is still in the Southern Mexican State of Chiapas, a very long way from that US
Border. The United Nations estimates its number has now swelled to seven
thousand. Many of the migrants have badly blistered feet, sunburn, dehydration
and are suffering from exhaustion.
President
Trump is urging them: "Turn around. We are not letting people into the
United States illegally. Go back to your country and apply for US Citizenship,
like millions of others are doing."
