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.

Sadly, this may be about the ONLY thing that gets their attention. Go for it.

We were promised border security in the 1986 Amnesty bill.
Then as a reaction to the rejection of the 2006 amnesty attempt, they passed the secure fence act.
When we rejected the next amnesty attempt in 2007, Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX) used another bill to remove the funding for that fence.

BOTH parties have been pursuing a bipartisan policy of non-enforcement to force US into another amnesty that would spell the end of the rule of law and the Republic.

Unable, no. Unwilling.

“Resistance”?? Poor choice of words. Correct word is “repel” or “repulse” the invaders. Or maybe “defeat.”

We are way beyond feeble “resistance.”

Hope he can find out who is funding this mob and get the evidence to the Texas government for immediate prosecution.

Same to every Republican officeholder.

If we had had a party representing the citizens and the rule of law there would have been no need for Trump.

Truth is BOTH parties have kept the border open and the laws unenforced.

Amen

The battle must be faught and won on Mexican soil.

Hondouras is the enemy and must be occupied and the current government imprisoned under the newly established military governmant. Hondouras must be occupied as was Japan.

Just in time for midterm elections, what timing!

If the walking dead zombies show up at the Mexican border expect 24/7 media coverage of “starving” women and children. Expect the leftists of exploiting more manufactured outrage.

The left failed miserably at the MeToo attempted lynching of Justice Kavanaugh, now it’s time to pull the bleeding heart refugee crisis.

In addition to cutting off aid, all USPS mail to and from Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador should be cut off. It probably takes congressional action, but all flights, package delivery and telephone should also be cut.

Make them all personae non-grata

Yes !!!

Note: C-SPAN did an segment today and only wanted to hear from Black callers, about the election. Some very 'astute' callers dialed in. One in particular, supported Trump, said the Blacks in this country fought hard to get their rights, and they weren't about to turn it over to migrants that are taking over their cities - very interesting phone segment.

They’ll force their way in and then expect US Tax Payers to take care of them and their families back home

The government will not stop it and the citizens will be treated more harshly than the invaders if we try to stop it.

How long before the left accuses President Trump of manufacturing this caravan to energize the base?

This is a nightmare for the left.

Play offense, not defensive, air strikes to the convoy support vehicles. No food, no trucks and buses, then no invasion.


Get real. No American President is going to order the military to start killing civilians especially when they are still a 1,000 miles away.

There are other ways to stop this invasion.

In war the quickest road to victory is cutting off the enemies supply line. Who is paying for these invaders, who is supplying them with food and water, who is providing them with transportation?

In our country we need to cut off all government payments to any one here illegally (the only exception would be emergency treatment of illness or accident) and after treatment sent home.

We also need to go after any company that employs illegal. Seize their property under the same laws that allow seizures for drug violation.

We do not have to kill women and children to end this madness. We only need to enforce our laws.

Well, Mr. President, if you’re just going to let an invading army enter our country, then America is doomed.

Treat them as the invaders that they are.

Enough.

Wasn’t part of the NAFTA fix was to get Mexico to fix this $hit? Did that part get lost? Why would we come to any agreement if they aren’t gonna do anything about this.

Or at the very least, use those crowd control type battlefield stun weapons that the military has if they attempt to cross the border. Non-lethal but effective.
