President Trump is already walking back his comments that the U.S. military had been instructed to shoot any migrants who threw rocks at them.
On Friday, Trump reversed course, saying that any rock-throwers would instead be “arrested for a long time”. A day earlier, Trump said the military would “fight back” and he told the troops to “consider it a rifle”.
The Pentagon has already mobilized 5,200 troops to the U.S./Mexico border and has suggested he could double or even triple that number.
A migrant caravan of about 3,500 people is still more than 700 miles away from the U.S. in southern Mexico.
