Well yes, if moving the troops is unnecessary. Is it clear the caravan members are all about "crossing illegally"? Reports so far are that they are mostly asylum seekers.
Trump's own intel informed him last week that less than 20% of the caravan would make it to the U.S. border, that's less than 1500, and that there was NO EVIDENCE OF ISIS infiltration at all. So we rapid deploy over 5,000 troops in addition to the thousands already on the border? That intel was likely leaked because the military does not like being deployed for political purposes rather than actual defense of the nation.

As I say above, the more serious threat to our troops may be the militia, who are showing up uninvited and armed to defend against the "invaders."
