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.

You must be losing your mind to blame Trump.

Those poor critters are stuck in the Louisiana bayous and Florida swamps. Let’s do something for the environment, and move them to a natural moat, the Rio Grande, where they can thrive and increase. Win-win.

Closing a bridge? You must have posted to the wrong person, I never suggested closing any bridge.

Such idiocy is indicative of the Lunatic Fringe and we are plagued by their talk of their guns and how they will use them and propose killing as a solution to every problem the gorier the better.

You are, of course, correct about the ridiculous calls for massive deaths.

By the time the invader column gets to the US border, how big will it be? 50,000 doesn’t seem out of the question: https://apnews.com/b709e05ec83c49e6876ff612141ae942?utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=AP

Mexico the ball is in your court. You are going to be a good neighbor or the President will punish you.

That's a real nice trade deal we just negotiated with you. It'd be a shame if we had to cancel it.

There are few churches worthy of the name “Church” today, the rest have been taken over by the nihilists and the Left.

That's good news, especially if it's a nationwide trend. If the manipulators don't get the young voters and their other lap dogs to the polls early, they're quite likely to not vote on election day.

I HATE this early voting, some of it a month before the election. People are voting while things are still unfolding. I was a poll worker for the primary in May. A good number of people came in who had voted early and wanted to know if they could change their vote!

“Think back when Mexicans started building houses in your area? It was 2002 or 2003 in Nashville”

I first noticed the Mexican-American construction job site portajohnny graffiti wars in the early 90’s here in NC.

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.

CONgress and the courts are controlling this, and wield the power to enforce our borders......not the president. Look at the legal battles he has had just enforcing the immigration numbers from the muslim countries.
