President Donald Trump says he’s “bringing out the military” to address what he’s calling a national emergency at the southern border.

The comments in Thursday’s tweet come as thousands of Central American migrants continue their caravan trek through Mexico toward the hoped-for, but still far-distant U.S. border.

Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Mattis expected to sign order to send at least 800 troops to US-Mexico border

Trump in his tweet is blaming Democrats for laws he says make it too hard to stop people at the border. He says those trying to enter the U.S. “will be stopped!”

“I am bringing out the military for this National Emergency. They will be stopped!,” Trump wrote in a post on Twitter. Trump also agreed with a border patrol labor union official that Democrats are to blame for migrants seeking refuge in the U.S.

Trump tweeted Monday that he’d alerted the military that the situation was a “National Emergy” — but the Pentagon said then that they’d received no new orders to provide troops for border security.

Trump told a rally crowd in Wisconsin on Wednesday that the military was “all set.”
