A quote from the article you linked:
Defense officials have repeatedly emphasized the troops at the border are there to support civil authorities and that they are not expected to come into any contact with migrants. And, not a word about "armor" in the article you linked.
Oh, but there is this:
On Thursday, Trump claimed the military is putting up thousands of tents to hold migrants, but officials said there are no plans as of now to build tents. The officials said that while there had been informal talks between the Department of Defense and DHS about having the military build tent facilities to house detained migrants, tents were never part of the formal request for assistance submitted by DHS and approved by Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis. So, sorry if I got confused about the Fake News concerning the military setting up tents to house the invaders. After all, it was TRUMP HIMSELF WHO SAID IT. 
Meanwhile, here's the ABC version of the story, same-same.

Check this out, and ask yourself "how many poor women and chirrenz are seen in this photo of these soon-to-be illegals?" Also, notice how nice and new the backpacks, shoes, and clothes look on a surprising majority of these people. Notice how many of these MEN are either fit, or overweight.

If you think the troops are being sent to open the gates, then you are the one believing fairy tales.

Anyway, we digress. Let's get back to the point of this thread. No blue wave. GOP keeps House.
