The US government is planning to dispatch at least 800 troops to the southern border as a caravan of thousands of migrants makes its way through Mexico. The move comes as US president Donald Trump tweeted his fury at the migrants telling them ‘turnaround…go back to your country.’ He is attempting to transform fears about immigration into electoral gains in next month’s mid-term congressional elections.

At rallies and on Twitter, Mr Trump has even tried to portray the Democrats as pro-illegal immigration, even claiming, with no evidence, that Democrats had organised and paid for the caravan. US President Donald Trump is hoping to win support by his tough stance on immigration (Picture: EPA)Yesterday he tweeted a direct message to the migrants, urging them to return home. ‘To those in the Caravan, turnaround,’ he wrote. ‘We are not letting people into the United States illegally. Go back to your Country and if you want, apply for citizenship like millions of others are doing!’ The additional troops are set to provide additional logistical and other support to the southern Border Patrol.

There are already about 2,000 National Guard troops there under a previous Pentagon arrangement. The migrants in the sprawling caravan – once estimated by the United Nations to number more than 7,000 – are hoping to make it to the United States. Most are Hondurans, seeking to escape the poverty and violence that plagues the region, although others have come from Guatemala and El Salvador.
