Sky News ^ | October 22, 2018

Posted on 10/22/2018 6:38:43 AM PDT by conservative98

Donald Trump has ordered the military to be on alert over a US-bound migrant caravan as he declared a national emergency.

Referring to the caravan from Honduras, the president tweeted: "Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States.

"I have alerted Border patrol and Military that this is a National Emergency."

He added that the US would begin "cutting off, or substantially reducing aid" to three Central American countries.

There must be choke points along the way to the United States that can be closed down. What if bridges suddenly fell into the rivers and canyons. What if roadss were closed due to huge landslides. Just slow them down till the invaders give up.

Send as many troops to the border area as it takes to convince the Mexicans that we are ready to invade. Start blowing up the infrastructure in Mexico that leads to the border. The Mexicans will stop the caravans at that point. No body dies on purpose.

I think the Mexicans sending money back to Mexico must also be stopped until lasting changes are made.

In your dreams.

POTUS is the best and only chance that we have to repel the invasion.

Your criticism and lack of support is well noted.

>> if razor wire is installed, game over.<<

Wire should be going up as we speak. And those who say the military cannot get the job done in time to stop this invasion are wrong. The only thing preventing it from going up are the politicians. Remember that folks, when you cast your ballot in the mid-terms.

BINGO! Best answer to the invasion problem. And it’s all legal and does not create any bad optics. Start a thread with your solution, please.

Tweet this to POTUS (maybe no one has thought of this, yet.)

>>>The military should handle it like an emergency deployment of a Division overseas - a big logistics exercise for USTRANSCOM.

Declare martial law along the border area effected, to allow immediate deportation without hearing.

Put enough personnel on the ground to zip tie infiltrators, tag them with an identifier number, and load them on buses.

Run a stream of buses from the border to the nearest airbase, and capture their identification information. Load them onto planes.

Run a flow of aircraft from their to Soto Cano Airbase (Palmerola) in Honduras. Give each detainee one MRE and some water. Send an MP Battalion down there to handle receiving the planes.

Run busloads outside the gate, disembark the detainees, and remove their zip ties. Tell them Adios. Mexicans too. <<<<<

It all depends on the rules of engagement. I don’t see how anything less than lethal force is going to work here.

Immediately halt all monetary remittances.

Make an apprehension of any illegal a permanent irrevocable crime, a refusal of entry for life...for any reason. Halt all importation of goods.

Shut down all communications between the US and all offending nations.

Go all Abe Lincoln and Eisenhower on their asses.

Operation wetback, chain deportation.

Cutting off the US gravy train will stop the migrants.

No welfare, no food stamps, no free education, no free medical care. All they get is a free one way ticket back to point of origin.

We are citizens don’t get that. WE PAY for it.

I also agree 2with stopping all money transfers to any bank accounts in those countries, along with Western Union money grams, or whatever other means they are using to send our money to their families.

Hopefully it'll turn out that way, but this caravan was financed with the exact opposite intention -- to recreate Trump's lowest approval rating from a couple months ago when big media harped incessantly about the separation of children from their families at the border. And to recreate that sentiment right before the midterms. Hopefully it'll backlash this time and the invading caravan will be stopped at the border and the GOP will keep control of Congress.

The left thinks that we'll see it as they want us to see it.

Everyone I know sees it as an invasion and is very concerned about it.

I think this has opened many eyes and alarmed a great number of people.

I am hoping and praying that this will backfire in the biggest way possible for the left, that it will actually be what energizes the non left to vote against the dems.

People are seeing that we/they are being threatened. If the left had left us alone in our complacency, then they would have done better. They didn't We are being threatened and we know it.

Send in the A-10s, and strafe the fk out of them. Those Warthog canons will rip these a-holes to shreds FK what the rest of the world has to say about. Just waste these bastards and be done with it.

Screw the “women and children!” I’m sick of those who play that card.

THESE “WOMEN and CHILDREN” CHOSE TO MAKE THEMSELVES A PART OF THIS INVASION FORCE. THESE “WOMEN and CHILDREN” CHOSE TO PUT THEMSELVES IN HARM’S WAY.

This is a WAR, and people are going to die. Better them than us. You can’t deal with the reality? Tough.

Those “women and children,” you want to protect, if allowed to cross our border, will deprive AMERICAN CITIZENS of schools, hospitals, roads, etc.

I’m tired of whining crybabies who want to spare these INVADERS the penalty they DESERVE for violating our sovereignty

Actually, Trump taking action on all these people would have a bigger pro-Republican effect instead of an anti-republican effect. That’s what the liberals do not understand. If Trump caves, the Liberals will win. If he deploys troops and fights, the media will wail, but the people will all vote republican.
