President Trump announced Thursday morning additional U.S. troops will be sent to the southern border.
The announcement comes as three caravans made up of tens-of-thousands are on their way north from Central America. Just one of them is 12,000 people.
Meanwhile, in Washington D.C. a bipartisan commission made up of 17 lawmakers met for the first time yesterday in an effort to negotiate some kind of border security deal before February 15. Without a wall to stop incoming caravans, President Trump argues Republicans are wasting their time.
