caravan of people

[AndyLate]

Well, in the spirit of humor, you understand the difference between toddlers and kids, correct?

-SNIP-

Nonetheless, messing with kids and animals is a sure way to get most people turned against you.

It is a quote from Full Metal Jacket:

Marine - "How can you shoot women and children?"
Door Gunner - "It's easy, you just don't lead them so much."

A failed attempt at levity.

I have no idea how we deal with the caravan. I know good fences make good neighbors.

Bring in the Military, Keep them in Mexico and shut down all traffic coming out of Mexico until the threat of this is over.
Leave these folks in Mexico and let the Mexican Government deal with it.

^^ Second this.

And; turn a deaf ear to the MMM / snowflakes wailing and melting down.

If we don’t bring in the military... create an augmentation force of LEOs to work alongside the BP guys as a special assignment away from their parent LE agency. I’d sign up in a heartbeat.

+2. Once they know we aren't going put up with this nonsense Mexico will have to deal with it, potentially ending these caravans.

We need the Military to make the point.
Just fly A10's over the Rio Grand and close all legal crossing points, use your LEO's for the traditional crossing points and check points in the desert.

Agree on both. I’m sure some battalions from Pendleton and the Stumps could use a real world “CAX” or whatever it’s called now.

So how much leading is necessary by when lighting up women and children with a GAU-8/A?



Only joking, only joking....

Money makes the world go 'round.

STOP all funds going anywhere south of the US/Mexican border, even to the countries not affiliated with this fiasco, FORCE them to deal directly with their neighbors. Use the funds for point #2.

Lock down the border as tight as logistically possible, by any means necessary so that even the cartels take notice to the fact that it is going to affect their bottom line. Force them to question there involvement on going.

Political suicide be damned, a message has to be sent loud and clear. Today its a caravan from South America, tomorrow it might be cruise ships from overseas. (figuratively speaking).

I appreciate the humor.
We wouldn't have to fire a shot. I would imagine the Cartels would be happy to escort these folks somewhere else when the Law Enforcement, Military and Air assets of both begin cutting in on their bottom line.
