TRUMP THREATENS TROOPS –  AT 10:28 A.M. ET:  And none too soon.  There is an organized army of "refugees" approaching our southern border.  Strange, but it's happening right before our election.  The president has stark choices to make.  He's hinting at making the right one.  We cannot permit our border to be stormed.  From Fox: 

The U.S. military will "CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER" with Mexico if officials there don't soon stop the northward push of a massive migrant caravan, President Trump warned Thursday, amid reports the procession had swelled in size to about 4,000 people.

Trump's latest threat against the caravan -- which originated in Honduras and is bound for the U.S. in a bid to escape pervasive poverty and violence – comes as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo heads to Central America to discuss the issue.

“I am watching the Democrat Party led (because they want Open Borders and existing weak laws) assault on our country by Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, whose leaders are doing little to stop this large flow of people, INCLUDING MANY CRIMINALS, from entering Mexico to U.S.,” Trump tweeted Thursday morning.

He added: “In addition to stopping all payments to these countries, which seem to have almost no control over their population, I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught - and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!”

COMMENT:  The president is right.  But he must expect a journalistic onslaught if our troops have to stop "migrants" at the border.  I think the great mass of Americans, though, will support him.

The timing of this "great march northward" is not accidental.  A full Congressional investigation is called for.  If the Dems take over Congress, that will never happen.
