Unlike past troop deployments to the border, these 500 Marines are arriving on the border locked and loaded:
100 US troops are already en route to the border. A senior Marine official I spoke to said: The 500 Marines being sent from being on stand by to help with the California fires will be armed and have magazines in their weapons, unlike during past border missions
Remember that scene where hundreds of migrants bum rushed our unarmed troops at the border? Not gonna happen on Trump’s watch:
The Marines, I am told, are treating this deployment as they would any other emergency contingency (evacuating an Embassy, deploying to a war zone). “Our response will be immediate.”
The cartels have been put on notice that their criminal smuggling operations will be much harder to achieve.
We are going in ready to respond. If the cartels shoot at us we will not stand by,” this Marine official told me. "We will be taking whatever equipment we would send if a Marine Expeditionary Unit or MEU were deploying overseas."
