President Donald Trump has repeatedly blamed Democrats of allowing "criminals" into the country illegally and has ordered regular army troops to the US-Mexican border as a caravan of a few thousand impoverished migrants slowly marches toward the boundary. Meanwhile, Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, have accused Trump of "fear-mongering" and "political stunts". IMAGES from the US-Mexico border in San Elizario, Texas
