Not months till the border, more like weeks.
Some will be assisted with filled beyond capacity trains.
This is similar to what happened in 2014.
Decisions are going to have to be made very soon on how to react to this newest invasion.

Trump threatens certain action, but often capitulates at the last minute; i.e. the (unvetoed) Omnibus Bill.
Or withholding certain federal funds from sanctuary cities.
Most the cities are being funded anyway.
I understand the president cannot act alone on such issues.

He’s going to lose CONgress, and re-election.

Self-indulgent #NeverTrump wishful thinking. Funny how you sound exactly like the Propaganda Media—attempting to undermine morale.

Please stop Aiding and Abetting the Enemy with such pathetic hand-wringing. These #NeverTrump projections are abject hysteria.

But if the Republicans do lose Congress, the blame will lie squarely on the shoulders of the GOPe—a bigger lot of cowards has never existed. The GOP could easily make gains in the House and Senate—and be an unbeatable political juggernaut that would relegate the Democrat party to minority status for decades to come—if they would only support their own President!

It proves unequivocally where their loyalties truly lie—the Uniparty Swamp. The last thing these Globalist traitors want to see is a strong populist President such as Donald J. Trump. They actually want him to be crippled, and as ineffective as possible—even if it means surrendering control of The House! The evidence is incontrovertible—their uniform behavior is clearly targeted at creating such a result! In some ways, the Republican party is even worse than the Democrats—and achieving that is no small task...

Big Red One.

I they're aiming for a California / San Diego crossing, the Marines at 29 palms just north of there could use the excersize.

Mexico sounds like a good place to stop them.
Drop the bridges in front of them and, if necessary, strafe and bomb them.
If Mexico complains, remind them that letting invaders pass through their country to the US is an act of war.

I think if you did a Venn diagram there would be a small but noticeable number of people in the “Union” portion.

The stumps is an exercise force. You mean 1st Mar Div at Pendleton, where I served.

Marines are an expeditionary force, and the don't have the fat to cut from to occupy/seal a border. Bringing in an infantry division from Kansas (which is outdated- we are not fighting Indians anymore), for duty on the border is practical, and serves as a national statement.

Times be changing......... Lots of Immigrant information at the linked article below.

Snip

How many immigrants moved to the United States in 2016?

In 2016, 1.49 million foreign-born individuals moved to the United States,
a 7 percent increase from the 1.38 million coming in 2015. India was the leading
country of origin, with 175,100 arriving in 2016, followed by 160,200 from
China/Hong Kong, 150,400 from Mexico, 54,700 from Cuba, and 46,600 from
the Philippines. India and China surpassed Mexico in 2013 as the top origin
countries for recent arrivals. Among the top countries of recent immigrants,
many more Cuban born arrived in 2016 (54,700) compared to 2015 (31,500)
—an increase of 74 percent. In contrast, Canadian arrivals dropped 19 percent:
38,400 in 2016, versus 47,300 in 2015.

What do you mean the blame will be with the GOP?

The GOP will look at it as CREDIT goes to them for losing the election, returning full control back to the Swamp.

Trump can stop this, I’m a hundred percent sure of that, I hope he does.

Dark state has overwhelmed us all, or it is at least approaching that frontier. The pace of evil is troubling.

When evil is left unchallenged, it sneaks up on you. When it is challenged its screams loudly.

A lot of evil screaming lately...

“Why Is Trump Pretending to Be Helpless to Stop Migrant Army of 1,500 People Heading to US Border?”

Good question. He shouldn’t be. This is squarely in his wheelhouse. Border patrol or national guard.

............

What makes you think San Diego. Brownsville and Laredo, Texas
are much closer and would be the landing target IMO. Especially
if I was walking.

I wonder a bit at the same. Guess he troll with it for a bit to stir things up, then act. Or, better act. Hopefully he does so in a manner that won’t get stopped by the courts before it gets started. I’m tired of the theatrics—just deploy the troops and kill anyone that crosses the border illegally. End it now. Give no quarter, no amnesty to anyone crossing the Mexican border.

Well how many miles are they averaging a day? It is still going to take a few months to reach Texas.

The problem was explained very well by an ICE official on a Fox interview that was linked on the main foxnews page this morning. (Not there now.) Once they cross the U.S. border, they are rounded up, taken to immigration, interviewed, and told to show up in about 2 years for their deportation hearing. That's what they mean by “catch and release.”

President Trump is asking Congress to overturn the Obama-era laws that form the “catch and release” mess that endangers every one of us and encourages this invasion. Meanwhile, Mexico better stop encouraging this act of war lest it get hot.
