Mexico\u2019s Soldiers recently pulled guns on our National Guard Soldiers, probably as a diversionary tactic for drug smugglers on the Border. Better not happen again! We are now sending ARMED SOLDIERS to the Border. Mexico is not doing nearly enough in apprehending & returning!
\n\u201cAfter a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the Mexican military members departed the area,\u201d a spokesperson for the Pentagon told the outlet. \u201cThe U.S. soldiers immediately contacted CBP, who responded quickly. Throughout the incident, the U.S. soldiers followed all established procedures and protocols.\u201d
\nNeither the White House nor a spokesperson for the Mexican Embassy in Washington immediately responded to a request for comment from CNBC.
\nTrump last year deployed several thousand American troops to the border to assist in putting up razor wire as part of his administration\u2019s push to reduce immigration into the United States. The Pentagon recently extended that deployment, which Trump has said could involve as many as 15,000 troops, through September.
\nIt was not immediately clear whether the president\u2019s tweet meant that more troops will be deployed or if their mission will change.<\/p>\n

God Will Brighten Your Day
\nAdapted from the resource Starting Your Day Right Devotional – by Joyce Meyer<\/p>\n

Jesus got up early in the morning, long before daylight, and went out to a deserted place and prayed\u2014He got alone (see Mark 1:35). There were so many people who followed Jesus everywhere He went that He probably wouldn\u2019t have had any time alone if He hadn\u2019t gotten up really early. <\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t a morning person, the thought of getting up early may make you nervous. But you can decipher for yourself what \u201cearly\u201d means for you. Nine o\u2019clock is early if you are used to staying in bed until noon. Even if you only get up 15 minutes earlier than usual to have some time alone with God, you will still honor Him, and that time with Him will make your whole day brighter. <\/p>\n

Prayer Starter: Father, I need Your strength to have success today. Help me to make a habit of spending time with You and keeping You first in my life. In Jesus\u2019 Name, Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
