MEXICO CITY - Mexico has deployed almost 15,000 soldiers and National Guard in the north of the country to stem the flow of illegal immigration across the border into the United States, the head of the Mexican Army said on Monday.
Mexico is trying to curb a surge of migrants from third countries crossing its territory in order to reach the United States, under the threat of tariffs on its exports by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has made tightening border security a priority. “In the northern part of the country we have a total deployment of 14,000, almost 15,000 units between the National Guard and the Army,” Sandoval told a regular news conference.
The force is still taking shape, and due to be headed by a retired general under the aegis of the security ministry. Mohar blamed the change on Trump’s threats to impose tariffs. The National Guard should ideally not be implementing migration policy, he argued, while acknowledging that Mexican migration authorities were overwhelmed.

This makes for a hostile situation for asylum seekers. Mexican soldiers are not 'peacekeepers'. Mark this tweet, please.
And the trogs in the u.s. will applaud when the 'military' begins shooting families in their tracks. 'Pro Life' ha.
Trump victory

Thanks Mexico for building a military wall and paying for it.
Meanwhile, 6 months ago....
So how many dollars did Trump take from America's farmers to help the Mexican government?
So Trump tortures Mexican children and this is their response? Don't think so. Trump just killed his children.
If there are military taco truck support vehicles I’m there.
Thank you President Trump.
This isn’t America. They need to remove The Statue of Liberty because it’s now just a big ass lie
Took 'em a while to get the message.
The term “forces” world be accurate. National guard implies another thing entirely.
