The first shot that comes northbound should trigger a fusillade SOUTH BOUND that drops them in their tracks.

Mis the water with skunk water...a strong deterrent.

Also let them no that the money they want to send back to their families will be taxed at 60%.

I've been saying that for year (although with a smaller number, but yours works too),

A hefty tax on remittances would do more than anything to return the illegals where they belong.

Add in eVerify, and problem is solved.

Re: 5,000 not enough

The commander said this is “just the start” of the operation - I think this is the start of a long operation. They are building housing along the border for troops ... this is not an ‘Obama like’ Photo op ...

——some of us are going to wait to see-—

Only a fool or a fakenews presstitute would assume the briefing disclosed the planning. Perhaps 500 words of a 100,000,000 word planning document were revesled.

There is no way to estimate the depth of the unrevealed plann and various contingency plans for the various locations along the border.

The first shot that comes northbound will be fired by the invaders sniping one of their own, a Palestinian trick, which will be used to blame the troops for killing an innocent kid. And then they all will be allowed to enter as will the millions to follow.

There’ a great catapult scene in “Robin Hood, Men in Tights.”

Trump deserves enormous credit for what he’s accomplished for the country in two short years.
However, this is an invasion and if it is not dealt with decisively the game is over as more and larger caravans are sure to follow.

The point is, this is an existential threat to our country. I think we both agree on that. And I hope we can agree that like any invasion, it must be repelled by every possible means. Nothing could be a more serious threat to a country than losing its soverignity.

Other countries around the world are watching and taking measure of us. This is no time for half hearted measures. I’m just not getting the sense that we are doing everyhting we can to turn the hordes around. It can happen if we apply maximum pressure on Mexico and make it crystal clear that the border will be closed to these invaders. At this point, neither they nor Mexico are getting the message which means we are failing.

Never entered my mind ... Now that you mention it, lay the plywood over the wire first, then drive over it.

Excellent proposal! A novel and constructive idea that would definitely work to our advantage.

I hope someone in the administration see’s your comment.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Maybe you should spend some time thinking. This migration has been going on for many years and it has dipped into out economy. We have allowed MS13 criminals and many crimes have been committed by illegals. You are nuts!

Additional fencing? The Mexican police tried this at their southern border. The invaders rolled over it like it wasn’t there.

There’s fencing, then there’s FENCING. My question: what kind of fencing are we talking about. Let’s be specific.

Thank you. I’ve mentioned it for a couple of years or so. It will either finance the wall, or keep $$$ in the USA. Or both.

Plus either way, it gets the attention of Mehico. They can put the tariff on all exports south of the border.

When their economic war on the U.S.A. became problematic, I have no problem using the same methods. Frankly, it’s a national security issue, essentially. Economic warfare.

From briefing: Concertina wire - 22 miles going up immediately around ports of entry, another 150 miles (initially) on hand as required - once the military requests a permanent wall to help enforcement, the Donald will be all over it

Seriously, it is a brilliant idea. Somehow, regrettably, I missed your previous comments to this effect over the years.

Its hard to get people’s attention but one sure way to do it is through the imposition of major financial pain and hardship. In this case economic warfare is entirely justified. Why we haven’t made this clear to Mexico is beyond me because they are just not listening or taking us seriously.

When they wake up one morning and realize that the United States isn’t taking their crap anymore, and heavy financial pain is about to rain down upon them, they will turn that caravan before you can say Tijuana.
