Will they also have bullets? I remember back in the day they had weapons but no bullets.

[COBOL2Java]

So, you think Trump would give them weapons with no bullets. To face drug cartel-weaponized invaders. Right...

[Califreak]

Beats the heck out of me. Maybe this guy knows.

"The “caravan” hasn’t gotten anywhere."

Because the polling went south, literally.

[WASCWatch]

To all those who said that sending just 800 troops was a week response; I told all of you that is was just the advance party to prepare to receive many thousands of other soldiers.

[Don Corleone]

My guess is that Trump, who has the Constitutional Authority, will declare the Mexican border closed to all but northbound with US Passports and southbound with travel visas to Mexico and beyond.No traffic, no trucks, no trains, no planes, no cash transfers, no nuffin’!

[StAnDeliver]

"It’s the beginning of a four state operation - starts in Texas and moves west."

Wow. All Trump has to do is to cover extended military border operations 'indefinitely' with an EO, and start building the wall with the military.

[COBOL2Java]

I think that’s the perfect solution

To vote for Beto no doubt

They should disarm the illegals...and send them home....then show the demonrats what was about to enter the country...

Disarm them, that's cruel to chop their limbs off and send them back. I say off with their heads and be done with them. Heck, we can't even paintball them with the democrats interfering on their behalf.

Better to chip them like animal control does to feral animals. With scanners in our nation we can more easily find them and incarcerate or deport them. Chip them now!

[Billthedrill]

Chip them now!

Do you realize how many wood chippers that's gonna take?

[upchuck]

Sounds tough. But I have been disappointed before. Hopefully for the last time.

[McGavin999]

They will but they are starting at Texas (the nearest pint for the caravan) and then moving west to California ( the fairest point)

[ASA Vet]

The M-388 would produce an almost instantly lethal radiation dosage (in excess of 10,000 rem, 100 Sv) within 500 feet (150 m), and a probably fatal dose (around 600 rem, 6 Sv) within a quarter mile (400 m.)

The M-388 could be launched from either of two launchers known as the Davy Crockett Weapon System(s): the 4.7-inch (120 mm) M28, with a range of about 1.25 mi (2 km), or the 6.1-in (155 mm) M29, with a range of 2.5 mi (4 km.)

So using even the shorter range launch system, and the greater "probably fatal dose" radius, the shooter would be 5 times that distance away. Hopefully any troops on the FLOT would be far enough and dug in.

oooh - CBs can build berms pretty quickly - I’d love to see the enviro weenies all up in arms as our troops build a massive set of fortifications ...

>> “Good to know they are armed.” <<

When Clinton sent troops to the Carribean and Mogadishu they had rifles without magazines.

Do you realize how many wood chippers that's gonna take?

That's not what I meant! But... the idea is an entertaining idea...

I have a wood chipper I can donate to the cause, but it will only work on small limbs. I'll donate a Sawzall and axe as well.

Thanks for the ping! GREAT THREAD - AND EVEN BETTER NEWS!

show of force, I guess
