And why exactly do they need to be armed? So they can point their guns at the weary unarmed refugee seekers looking for asylum and tell them to march back home to their death?
Not so sure they are unarmed, but either way, do what ever it takes to turn them around.
A rock, a stick, or any blunt object can turn into a weapon.
I worked at the border for 10 years. We had agents suffered serious injuries when the illegal immigrants threw rocks the size of baseball at us. One agent i know was blind on his left eye and had to be medically retired
Well, for one thing, I find it distasteful to be amassing military might against unarmed women and children.
For another, I find it distasteful that his basic idea of dealing with any problem is to escalate into violence.
I wonder how much it's costing? Maybe for the same money, he could funnel it to help things in their home countries. Maybe he could send those troops to wipe out Central American gangsters.
How do you know that all of them are "unarmed"? Did you go to Mexico and check each and everyone of them?
And now you want him to go to the banana republics? You know darn well if he did that, all you libs would be screaming about that and whining about how we are interfering.
And what should we do if they try to force their way into the US? Stand back and let them? Aren't you concerned about BP agents and soldiers being injured or killed? What about the illegals? They could get killed in a stampede.

Oh stop with the melodramatics! Just pointing a gun at them isn't against the law. They will be armed in case they start throwing rocks or start being violent in any way. They should be allowed to defend themselves. Those in the caravan would have to initiate the violence first before our side were to take any action. That action doesn't have to be by firing bullets there are other ways to make them stop without killing them. Why do you assume that all of these migrants are unarmed anyway?
March back to their deaths? Don't make me laugh! Most of them are just seeking economic opportunity on the backs of the U.S. taxpayer it's been proven so many times in the past because most aren't fleeing death. Get a grip!
Trump is doing this "for show" five days ahead of the mid-terms. This "caravan" coming up less than a week before elections is pure luck for Donald Trump, and he is playing it up like these people are a major threat to our country.
... so, of which "Neutral(Democrat)Party" are you a member? It disgusts me that the POTUS is constantly demonized and villianized by the left. Regardless of what he does the Dems and their minion-media attack and denigrate the President, the office of the President and the American way of life.
This particular group of 15,000 people could probably be 'absorbed' by our welfare systems, but, the steadily growing, unrestrained 11-million ILLEGAL immigrants cannot! Therefore, these people seeking ILLEGAL entry represent a major threat to our country.
Every rational person knows that any sovereign country must draw a line somewhere when it comes to protecting it's borders. Even the Dems. repeatedly acknowledge this, while doing nothing, but, talk, while they were in power. Trump is only doing what the government should have done years ago.

Why does the military need to be armed?
Is that a real question?
