Some are making much ado about President Trump's authorization to the troops to use "lethal force" if they are attacked. Those who object need to know that our troops ALWAYS have authorization to defend themselves by using lethal force.
Thousands of Additional Migrants Headed to U.S. Border - Breitbart
Thousands of additional migrants are expected to arrive Tijuana, Mexico, expecting to claim asylum at the U.S border. The migrants expected to arrive are in addition to the approximately 5,000 migrants who already arrived in this border city during recent days.
Jean Guerrero from KPBS first reported on the expected migrant arrivals after she spoke to a group who had just made their way to Tijuana, Baja California. The new migrants appear to be from a group of 200 who, according to Frontera.Info, arrived at the border city after having been stranded for days in Mexicali. The Mexican news site reported that the group was primarily made up of young adult males. The migrants said they felt betrayed by their compatriots who had told them that they would be allowed to enter the U.S and request asylum.
The arrival of the new caravan comes just hours after a group of migrants tried to rush the U.S. border at the San Ysidro port of entry. As Breitbart News reported, the effort forced U.S. Customs and Border Protection to shut down the port of entry and establish barricades with federal officers in riot gear. U.S. Customs and Border Protection tweeted that Border Patrol agents were forced to fire tear gas into the crowds as some of the migrants threw rocks.
Migrants Report Cash Transactions Between Mexican Officials to Allow Them Access to US Border - Western Journal
A number of migrants are alleging that Mexican officials at the U.S. border are charging substantial sums of money to gain access to make asylum claims in the U.S. The Los Angeles Times reported that Mexicans are overseeing a list, which they are using to decide who is allowed to cross two bridges over the Rio Grande into Brownsville, Texas from Matamoras, Mexico.
Cuban asylum seeker Elvis Gonzalez Rodriguez, 23, said that when he arrived at one of the bridges over the Rio Grande last week, a uniformed Mexican immigration official demanded he pay $1,000 to cross. When Rodriguez refused, the official made him leave.
"There's a lot of corruption here," Rodriguez, an electrician from Havana said. "It's the responsibility of Mexican officials to protect immigrants. I want to come the correct, legal way." He wants U.S. officials to help asylum seekers and investigate what's happening on the bridges.
Significant Doubts Surround Photo of Migrant with Children Fleeing Tear Gas - Western Journal
A Reuters photograph showing a migrant mother reportedly fleeing with her young children from tear gas at the U.S-Mexico has sparked anger from many on the left, while raising questions from some skeptics on the right.
One observant Twitter user noticed some usual things in the picture, The Daily Wire reported. First, many people in the immediate background were not running. Second, a family not far from the mother appears to be stationary as a cameraman stood next to them, as if they were preparing to take a staged picture. Third, a cameraman can be seen set up with his tripod just down the way with a young boy running toward him. Finally, the smoke is actually blowing downwind from the woman.

President Donald J. Trump Is Upholding the Rule of Law and Ensuring Consequences for Those Who Illegally Cross Our Border - The White House
"Illegal aliens will no longer get a free pass into our country by lodging meritless claims in seeking asylum. Instead, migrants seeking asylum will have to present themselves lawfully at a port of entry." President Donald J. Trump
This statement includes specifics on the following three topics:
PROTECTING OUR NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY: President Donald J. Trump is taking action to ensure asylum is not a free pass to cross our borders illegally without consequence.
UPHOLDING THE RULE OF LAW: The Trump Administration is rightfully and fully restoring the rule of law on our southern border.
RESPONDING TO THE BORDER CRISIS: Our Nation is experiencing an unprecedented crisis on our southern border, driven in part by fraud and abuse that has overwhelmed our asylum system.
Father God, we continue to uphold our President in prayer, as he fights to defend the sovereignty of our nation.
We have, as a nation, been quite generous to the people who are leaving their countries in order to obtain handouts by entering the U.S. illegally. We pray that corruption in their governments will cease and those sums will be used to advantage the citizens of those countries where they are. We cannot allow our own sovereignty to be destroyed in an effort to be the savior of the world. Your Son Jesus is the only one who can do that. In Your Name, amen.
