Put elements of a US active army division on the border where the migrants attempt to cross, to back up the civilian border guards.
Trump threatens to cut U.S. aid to Honduras over immigrants
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3697037/posts
“The United States has strongly informed the President of Honduras that if the large Caravan of people heading to the U.S. is not stopped and brought back to Honduras, no more money or aid will be given to Honduras, effective immediately!” Trump said on Twitter.
Okay me-he-co, you got one shot to prove you are an adult, lock this $hit down the minute it hits your border and don’t let it go any further, turn them around and end the drama — We have ways of effecting your economy, you feel’n me bro...Our President, this president actually loves this country, unlike the last one.
What good is our military if they cannot be used to defend the country?
They better hurry. Dems have already registered all of them to vote but there’s not much time before the Dems lose interest (Nov 8).
When they get close to our borders, Pres. Trump should close all traffic at all border crossings from Mexico and let them deal with the problem.
We’ll see what happens when they get to Mexico. We just signed an agreement with Mexico, and the Mexicans like it.
They don’t have to let this mob through.
These folks didn’t just decide to do this. Someone organized them. I’d like to know who.
They said on TV they were impoverished in their home country. Have any of you seen the size of these impoverished people! Some of the ladies are at least two ax handles wide. (Arkansas means of measurement)
Who’s really behind them I wonder?
We have been dumping dollars into Honduras to help curb a crime problem that is out of control, and it is actually working and crime is indeed being reduced.
So my question would be are these folks truly refugees from oppression? Or outlaws on the run to keep from getting locked up?
Like you mention... Where are the women and children indicating true refugees? I think these are criminals on the run from a law enforcement campaign that is finally working.
I I do not understand why the Guatemalans let these guys cross. I’ve crossed their border with Belize and Mexico several times and they have very well-fortified borders with guards with shotguns and machine guns. They make it clear in every meaningful ways that you will not pass unless all your papers are in order and you pay the fees and do things by the book. They are clear that violation of their laws will result in fines and prison time. Guatemala has no reason to allow these people in. They pose a liability in every way: they will have to be fed and watered and looked after and they pose a crime and disease threat and they take all these things seriously down there. There is no rational reason to allow them through. If it is a humanitarian interest it would be easier and cheaper to take care of them on the spot and repatriate them back to Honduras. It’s obvious to me that they in some way have been paid off. By “organizers.” It’s shameful we have no investigative journalists who want to dig in to this. Shameful. Frankly I don’t see how this works for the Dems politically, either. Most voters don’t want open borders. I’m mystified. Only corruption provides an answer.
President Trump should call out the California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas national guard units to block this.
Good luck with THAT TREK kids
Only a couple 1000 miles through M16 land
A nation has a right and responsibility to control who enters their territory. However, a nation may not have the right to control who exits their country.
Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico have a duty to stop this. Their failure to do so can be considered a tacit declaration of war against the U.S.
Those people have no right to come here unless they go through the proper legal channels. The Guatemalan government should refuse them entry. Those that make it through should be denied entry into Mexico.
Besides, it’s over 1400 miles (my calculation - I could be wrong) between Honduras and the U.S. Does anyone think that entire families are going to actually walk that?!?
Napalm.
“The migrants plan to seek refugee status in Mexico or pass through to the United States.”
Mexico needs to be sent a message that if they let this mob enter their borders, they will not be continuing to the United States. They will become Mexico’s problem.
Line the US Army along the border and do NOT let anyone across.
