How quickly could the military put up protective walls?
They must put up barriers. We can track the caravan. Hopefully they stay in a big group.
Those walls could just stay there until a permanent wall is built. Invaders will keep going to different regions and we can just build the “temporary” blockade as they shift around.
“How quickly could the military put up protective walls?”
Methinks that we can put up barriers that would be effective enough, until a proper wall, etc. is built - across several hundred miles of the Texas border with Mexico. There are many other things that can be done also, things that are less than lethal - for example, heat rays, sound weapons, spraying “skunk juice” all over them with high-powered hoses, etc.
This had BETTER be stopped, and I believe that Trump has every intention of doing just that. After all, this is the primary reason that he was elected, and if he cannot repel these invaders with weeks of warning, then he will have been an utter failure and will not be re-elected. However, Donald Trump will not fail, as it is a word and concept that is just not part of his being.
The “walls” can be as simple as triple-strand concertina. Beanbags and rubber bullets for the wire-cutters. Water cannons and CS gas for the horde if they try to overwhelm the perimeter.
It’s not a shootin’ war (yet) but it’s a full-scale riot. Treat it accordingly.

If Congress was doing its job of protecting our country and its citizens, it would demand that the President order the military to begin immediately to wire the border from one end to the other. And those who think that cannot be done in time to repel these invaders simply underestimate the ability of the military to get it done.
