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.

A-10s...(first thought to pop into my mind!)
This is not the Obama regime.
Seems your feigned outrage should be directed at the DemoCommieCrats and RINOs rather than one man being obstructed by congress and our MSM.
>>Well, our CIC had better sh!t or get off the pot. Donald, stop telling us what you are going to do, and just the hell DO IT!<<
Absolutely 100% in agreement with your post. It’s past time for the POTUS to shut up his damn yap and shut down the damn border. If he fails to keep these invaders out of our country he and the Republicans in Congress are TOAST! THE WORLD IS WATCHING MR. PRESIDENT, SO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN THIS INFERNAL DITHERING.
“The President should also declare that until further notice all wire
transfers of cash are suspended to these same three Central
American countries until this crisis is over.”
I doubt he has the power to do that.
I couldn’t disagree more. They will stop them and the American people will approve no matter how much the MSM shrieks about it.
As for distance to engagement, its relative to what you are trying to accomplish.

If Mexico is unable to stop them, use gentle persuasion to allow us to overfly their airspace and have the Air Force run air strike exercises over the horde. Run Bones at 50 feet on full afterburner, I am sure it would get their attention.
“the American people’ will not take the aggressive rejection of or the detainment of women and children the way you think they will....
There will be a 24/7 meda effort to make the GOP look like a bunch of jack boots...
Remember it’s a war of ‘optics’ here....we must not just ‘win the day’....but the PR war as well.
Well if that is not a typical commie MSM distortion. It was the traitors in the DemoCommieCrat party who promised stronger border protection and laws in return for amnesty, and as soon as they got their amnesty, they reneged on their promise.
A very deep trench might work. They’ll fall in and won’t be able to get out. We can lift them out and plop them right back in Mexico.
For a division of infantry ‘gentle persuasion’ means depleted uranium ... or M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) (included in Warning Alert issued by Pentagon).
.
Which border are they heading to? Do we know yet?
The American people will support barriers in the path of invaders and the detainment of invaders in tent cities in the desert if necessary. Or....the invaders could simply turn around.
The first rule of bureaucracy is “increase the budget.”Any bureaucracy that exists to eradicate a problem - poverty, drugs, promiscuity, crime, et al - will instead seek ways to increase the incidence of the problem in order to increase its scope of authority.
Frequently this is a benign activity involving simply changing the definition or the ascertainment of the problem. Sometimes bureaucrats work to actually worsen the targeted problem. NEVER does a bureaucracy deliberately set out to solve the problem for which it was created.
Who are we worried about losing the PR battle to? The America hating left and the media? I bet most moderates own homes and would look unfavorably on strangers just deciding to move in. The United States is our home. Defend it.
>>We do not have to kill women and children to end this madness. We only need to enforce our laws.<<
Perfectly true, but unfortunately law enforcement has become a joke in this country. Notice how the police have been ordered to stand down and NOT respond to crimes perpetrated by Antifa street thugs. When a nation fails to uphold its own laws that is really the beginning of the end of that nation.
“A unit of 10,000 men waving foreign flags is best described as an infantry division. Failure to treat it as such is a failure of leadership”
If you think hyperbole is a substitute for sanity.
Great, you think this is like some goofy political thriller novel with trucks full of rocket launchers and 10,000 man military divisions, but the likelihood is that this is just a bunch of illegal aliens with certainly more than a few criminals and bad guys in there, that think they will be able to cross into the U.S. if they just show up.
“You imagine DJT just gave a Warning Alert to major military units for political reasons or because something is known beyond what is in the public domain?”
Because we have a bunch of people that are advertising their attempt to illegally cross the borders of this nation, and he’s actually going to use the military to do the blindingly obvious, and stop it.
