Defense Secretary James Mattis defended the deployment of thousands of active duty troops to the border with Mexico Wednesday, calling it "a moral and ethical mission to support our border patrolmen

" While visiting with some of the soldiers deployed to the southern U.S. border, Mattis said "border security is part of national security" and stressed that the military mission is strictly to support U

S. Customs and Border Protection as it prepares for the arrival of four migrant caravans in the coming weeks

"We determined the missions as absolutely legal and this was also reviewed by Department of Justice lawyers, it's obviously a moral and ethical mission to support our border patrolmen," Mattis told a small group of reporters traveling with him to Texas

On Wednesday, Mattis visited Camp Donna, a large, newly-constructed camp outside of McAllen, Texas that was built to house 1,000 soldiers and their equipment

He was accompanied by Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who oversees Customs and Border Protection, and Gen

Terrence O'Shaughnessy, head of U.S. Northern Command. As of Wednesday, there were 5,900 troops deployed on the border

More than 7,000 active duty troops are expected to be fully deployed in Arizona, California and Texas ahead of the arrival of the migrant caravans

"The eyes of the world, and certainly all of the Americans, are on you," Mattis told soldiers during his tour of Camp Donna

Some military analysts have speculated that the deployment could end up costing as much as $200 million, but Mattis told reporters traveling with him that he was not able to provide a preliminary cost estimate because the information was still flowing into the Pentagon

"So we can estimate costs all we want," said Mattis. "I prefer to give you real costs

" Four migrant caravans were making their way through Mexico to the U.S. Several hundred migrants from the first caravan arrived in Tijuana on Tuesday where they are expected to rest and receive legal advice before approaching the border crossing at San Ysidro to request asylum

Last week President Donald Trump signed an executive order that only allowed asylum requests to be made at formal ports of entry, a change of existing law that allows asylum requests anywhere on the border

Migrants from a caravan that left Mexico City earlier this week and are now headed to the border crossings near Tijuana, 1,500 miles to the northwest

That was a change from the expected route to McAllen and Brownsville, Texas, a much shorter distance

Mattis acknowledged the location of the caravans arrival was a "dynamic situation" but said "we can move the troops back and forth

" "Right now the only thing we've been asked for is to put in obstacles, provide transportation and to provide housing," said Mattis, reiterating that the soldiers' mission along the border is one of support

"I do not anticipate military personnel coming into direct contact with migrants," said Mattis

"I'm a hundred percent confident we have the number of troops at each of those ports of entry to complete what we've been asked to do prior to the arrival of the large caravans

" Additionally, the only military personnel who will be armed are the military police providing security to the military support units

"The service members there in an engineering capacity who are building barbed, wire and barriers are not armed," said Mattis

Military police watching over these engineers, he said is part of normal force protection

The military deployment became a politically charged issue in the lead-up to the midterm elections with Democrats questioning whether it was necessary and if Trump was using the military for political gain

While campaigning, Trump regularly referred to the U.S. military mission to help deal with the migrant caravans which he labeled as an "invasion

" But since the election, the president has not mentioned the border mission publicly or on social media

He has also not used the term "invasion." Last week, Mattis instructed that the name "Operation Faithful Patriot" be dropped and instead refer to the deployment as a border support mission

He explained he did not want to risk misinterpretation by using military terminology to describe a mission supporting another agency

"I do not want to put this mission in some arcane military terms if what we are doing is laying wire," said Mattis

"I want to talk to the American people because this is a highly politically visible issue and I want you to tell them what you're doing

Meet David Fickett, PA-C, Cardiovascular Surgery | Ascension Texas - Duration: 2:14.

Hello, my name is David Fickett, and my specialty is cardiovascular surgery.

I've been interested in healthcare for a very long time especially back in high school.

I worked my way through college, and I worked at a hospital in my hometown, I got to see

a lot of cardiac surgery and got very interested in it.

Saw the autonomy that was allowed us, and made that my goal as I went through undergraduate

school and PA school.

Building a relationship with the patient you certainly have to listen to their needs.

I spend in consultation with them explaining exactly what the procedure is going to be,

what to expect postoperatively and, basically, be very honest with them in what they should

expect down the road.

Cardiac surgery is a very, very big surgery, it requires a lot of postoperative care, and

a lot of education on our part to ensure that they have a good outcome.

What I find enjoyable about my job is actually doing surgery.

I'm a very hands-on kind of guy, and I would much rather be in there working with my hands.

I think that I'm very technically adept at doing that, I've been doing it for quite some

time now, and that's what I enjoy most about it.

I'm married, have two beautiful sons who are older, they're out of the house now, so my

wife and I are, basically, empty-nesters.

I enjoy numerous hobbies.

Summertime we love going to the lake out on the boat, I love to golf.

In the wintertime we like to ski.

We love vacationing as well.

Meet Jeffrey Arnold, MD, Family Medicine | Ascension Texas - Duration: 2:00.

Hello, my name is Jeffrey Arnold.

I'm a family medicine doctor.

The reason I went into healthcare, I've just always been drawn to it.

I think some of it is 'cause it's a neat intellectual challenge, and it's really a special calling.

I chose my specialty, I actually went into medical school intending to be a heart surgeon,

and that lasted through my first surgery rotation, and I realized that just isn't what I'm kind

of made to be.

I like dealing with people.

I like seeing the kinds of things that come through in family medicine, and just getting

to know people over time.

I think in some cases, I have the best job ever.

I get to work with people.

I get to see them at their best and at their worst.

Hopefully the Lord allows me help along the way.

In terms of additional professional interests, I do work with the flight community.

I was an Air Force flight surgeon, back more than 20 years ago, and I still work with the

FAA.

I do aeromedical physicals for airmen and sometimes for people who work in the other

are of that.

And so kind of flight medicine is one of my additional things.

I have a little bit of work with missionary medicine.

And I need to get back into that.

When I'm not at the office, probably the biggest hobby is bicycling.

I've done a couple of the long bike rides.

I'm working maybe towards trying to do a hundred mile bike ride soon.

Meet Michelle Manning, MD, OB/GYN | Ascension Texas - Duration: 2:04.

Hello.

My name is Michelle Manning and I am an OB/GYN.

I chose to go into healthcare in high school, and actually, initially wanted to be a veterinarian.

But as the years progressed, I decided that I really like dealing with people, and in

medical school, decided that women's health was a thing that I was always the most interested

in.

I think what sets my practice apart, as a whole, our group are excellent surgeons and

very personable.

Sometimes you get into a physician's office and you feel like you can't really make a

connection, but I feel like my whole group of partners does a really good job with that.

I think some of what's missing in healthcare today is the ability and the time to listen,

and I think in women's health, because we focus just on women, that's a certain communication

style, that we get to hear what their fears are prenatally.

So, they're coming in for their OB visits and they're scared, because their friend told

them of this story, or they read on the internet that this is a concern.

So, we have that nine month window to really build that relationship to where they can

come in with questions, and we can allay fears, or tell them, "Yeah, that is a concern, but

we're going to take really good care of you," and just kind of build that trust so that

they know that they're getting the best possible care for them and their baby.

I would say that outside of work, I have been blessed that my partners have always allowed

me to work three days a week, because my passion when I leave the office is my children and

my family.

I have three kids.

I have two boys and a girl, and they are all fabulous, and I just really enjoy being part

of their school and just being part of their day to day life.

Texas Tiger to the SEC - Duration: 2:07.

I didn't realize the relationships that I built here and the community that existed within LSU.

This is like such a unique place, you know, the like, love purple live gold and like bleeding purple and gold.

♪♪

I'm from Houston, Texas, originally. So as I was looking through colleges, I played volleyball in high school

and so I had a volleyball tournament in Baton Rouge, and my mom was like,

why don't we go a day early and tour the campus?

So, we toured and I fell in love.

I remember driving up Dalrymple around the lakes and going into north campus and I said mom, this is my school!

I'm going to school there! And so I just fell in love with it.

I actually interviewed and interned with the athletic department, marketing and promotions my junior year and my senior year

where I got some invaluable experience that I look back on and say, if I didn't have that as an intern and undergraduate.

It's propelled me through my career, and I was able to write marketing plans,

actually do promotions within our sporting events, produce games, things that you don't get to do,

you know, or until you're way far in your career, and so I learned so much.

I had great mentors and bosses that I learned from during the time there.

So, if you want to work in sports, there's this living and breathing

opportunity that's daily in your world.

So, I was afforded the opportunity to go to the Southeastern Conference, and during that time, I've, you know, overseen

the production and some of our marketing for our championships that we have, and then I do a lot of some things behind our scenes

with our network. So I just get to work for the best brand in the country

and it doesn't hurt that the LSU Tigers are a part of that too.

I really do love this place and it's propelled me into so many opportunities of where I am.

And that's because I've utilized the resources that were here, and so, I always challenge students and, you know, incoming students,

utilize this great campus. This rich culture that exists.

There's so many opportunities. Even if a person doesn't want to work in sports, there is great communications department here.

There's so many academic programs. You can get so much real world experience, not just on campus but in the city of Baton Rouge.

Meet Matt Pattillo, MD, Pulmonary and Critical Care | Ascension Texas - Duration: 2:00.

Hello.

My name is Matt Pattillo and I do pulmonary critical care.

I chose healthcare because I really wanted to have a way to make an impact on the community

that I was living in.

I've always liked science.

I felt like the two were a perfect fit for me.

I chose pulmonary critical care because it was kind of more of a holistic approach to

the patient and there's a lot of variety in what I do.

I get to go to the clinic and see patients who are stable and doing well.

I get to work with in the ICU and work with the sickest of patients and really get to

keep kind of see both spectrums.

My job is rewarding because I get to work with people in all walks of life.

I get to see people who are healthy and doing well.

I get to see people who are really struggling and having a tough time.

I like the balance that that gives me.

There's never a dull day in the intensive care unit.

There's always something new going on and something new to learn.

I learn constantly every day from my patients.

We work really well together.

In healthcare nowadays, there's a lot of hand offs, there's a lot of shuffling of patients,

and so we work really well together.

We're friends as well as colleagues.

I feel like that we are able to kind of hand patients off and have a continuity of care

for the patient that really works best for the patient.

Outside of work, it's really busy.

I have four kids, ages from 10 to 2.

Right now, I'm kind of focused on getting them raised, which is a tough challenge.

My wife and I love them.

They're the best.

But I think one day eventually, going overseas, doing some mission work in another country

would be fun.

I would enjoy that someday.

Meet Boris Murillo, MD, Pulmonary and Critical Care | Ascension Texas - Duration: 1:58.

Hello.

My name is Boris Murillo.

I am a physician that practices pulmonary and critical care, with a special interest

on advanced bronchoscopy.

I chose to go to healthcare way, way, way back when I was young.

I grew up in Bolivia.

I grew up in the mines in Bolivia, where people used to have a lot of illness related to mining.

That has spark this interest of me on going to the healthcare.

Later on, when I did my training, I had phenomenal mentors, who are pulmonologist and intensivists.

They pretty much draw the path where I was going to follow.

It is crucial that the physician listens and asks and inquires not only the problems related

to why the patient is seeing you but also to investigate what other problems are bothering

to this individual.

So in that way we can provide a very comprehensive, a very holistic care for that individual.

Patients should choose us to be their physicians and to care for them because we are a group

of very devoted, caring doctors.

Well-trained and well-versed on all aspects of pulmonary medicine as well as critical

care.

Outside of what I do here, I'm a dad.

I have four children and whatever time free I have, I spend it with them.

Meet Mark Klepper, MD, Pulmonology | Ascension Texas - Duration: 2:06.

Hello.

My name's Mark Klepper and I'm a pulmonologist.

I was interested in medicine as far back as junior high and enjoyed medical school and

thought that a sub-specialty in pulmonary medicine seemed the most interesting and I've

enjoyed most of it.

I honestly believe that Providence and Ascension has an excellent complement of physicians

and caring physicians and smart skillful doctors.

I came from Austin and I'm very impressed by the quality of the physicians that I work

with.

In doing what I do, I don't think I can do my best work or the best job for the patient

unless I listen to them carefully to try to figure out what's going on and it's not always

obvious what the problem is.

Sometimes you have to listen and ask some difficult questions and dig a little bit before

you get to the answer.

And they, more often than not, realize what's going on and appreciate the time you spend.

Most weekends you can find me in my shop next to the house.

I do metal work.

I have a lathe and a mill and welders.

Meet Josh Goldstrich, MD, FACS, General Surgery | Ascension Texas - Duration: 2:08.

Hello, my name is Josh Goldstrich and I am a general surgeon.

My original career was actually not in healthcare and I came to medicine after several years

after graduating college because I wanted my daily work to be making an impact in people's

lives.

We offer some things that other people cannot offer.

And we have a full vascular practice.

We also do find needle aspirations in our office, meaning that you get your results

that day.

Normally that's a send out and you wait for a week to find out if it's a meaningful result

and so we can do that on premises.

There's a lot of things that are rewarding about my job.

First and foremost being able to directly help somebody in a very meaningful way on

a daily basis.

And in addition, general surgery is such a broad practice that no day is ever the same.

We do so many things and so it's always different and it's always challenging.

Outside of work my biggest hobby is my family.

I'm married, I have six children.

I'm a golfer, I'm a recreational target shooter, and I'm also a runner.

And I do several races, at least one marathon a year, to benefit the organization for autism

research.

Our youngest child is autistic and is just an absolute joy.

But I spend a fair amount of time promoting autism awareness and trying to raise some

money for autism research.
