This caravan/invasion doesn’t even pretend to be pro-American. They fly their own flags and condemn/challenge President Trump. They must be met with all necessary force.
Bump!
There are Honduran flags, Guatemalan flags and Mexican flags. All flags of where they claim has done them wrong. But not a single US flag to be seen anywhere.
They’re timing the border assault for the election. A couple days ago, one group was north of Mexico City and within 500 miles of McAllen, TX but they’re going to head to CA. Another group is still south of Mexico City and were in Arriaga, Mexico yesterday. Arriaga is the crossroads to determine which direction they’ll turn. Watch and see if they don’t turn toward Texas so they all hit the border at the same time.
The demonrats are counting on swaying the vote. If they’re allowed in, Trump loses his supporters. If there’s a violent confrontation, Trump is labeled the bad guy. Either scenario is a win for the swamp.
Force? In what form?
If you're picturing our military manning the border, guns ablaze, cutting down bodies like a machete through sawgrass, that's simply a fantasy that will never happen.
If not that, then what other sort of force? Tear gas and non-lethal high tech crowd control devices? Perhaps, but we've already been told that our military is being deployed to the border to provide tents and logistical support to the Border Patrol.
I'm not trying to pour cold water on your fighting resolve -- I'm just trying to cooly assess this situation in a rational manner. In essence, what's it really going to take to stop the horde?
The fact that they are not an armed force precludes the use of lethal weapons and tactics. That virtually eliminates our military as a useful contingent, so what other options do we have?
I would submit that the most effective way to repel the invaders (under these unique circumstances) is to suspend their 'right' to claim asylum in order to game our system.
Lacking that 'right', there is no way for them to bypass our established law enforcement measures and apparatus. They can be physically apprehended and repatriated to Mexico, or their countries of origin.
This will require the President to issue an immediate executive order, temporarily suspending that 'right'. It's been reported that the President and his advisers are currently considering such a move.
In my mind, it's the surest way to stop the horde in its tracks, and prevent them from melting away into the existing illegal alien population.
