“Our military can engage in a limited action to push into mexico 25-50 miles along the southern border”

Pushing 25-50 miles into Mexico would include invading large cities like Tijuana, Mexicali, Nuevo Laredo, Juarez, and Reynosa.

We would be violating the borders of a sovereign country if our military moves into Mexico.

1. I don’t want to engage in a military action against Mexico. This would be considered an act of war.

2. Pushing 25-50 miles into Mexico isn’t something I would consider a “limited action”.

3. How many troops would it take to push 25-50 miles into Mexico? The US-Mexico border is roughly 1,900 miles long.

4. Even if the military action worked and the invaders couldn’t reach the American border, how would the military handle the millions of Mexicans who live in that 25-50 mile buffer zone in the large border towns? Are they to be displaced? Are they to remain and be watched over?

I would be against such an action. Just build the wall/border system and have the Border Patrol stand guard and patrol with logistical and manpower support from the US Military as needed.

We would be violating their sovereignty ... like how they are violating ours?

The details are for the military to decide. I’m sure we would still allow commerce etc.

Apparently it only takes about 5,000 unarmed civilians to move the Mexican Army out of the way. If the Mexican Army wants to help us by stopping them on their own more power to them.

if they don’t we only need about a 20-yard buffer. The invaders can go through a line one at a time just like cattle at a slaughterhouse.

A simple force multiplier.

I worked at some retail stores on Black Friday where cranking out 5000-8000 customers in a day was no big deal.

The idea that 15,000 soldiers with combat engineers couldn’t put together something of a slick entry labyrinth in a week or two demonstrates a pretty low opinion of our military. they know how to do it, we’re going to do it, and the illegals are going to have it done to them.

They really have no idea!

This would be more doable if it were 1828 instead of 2018. The Demonrats would not get in the way.
