Want to stop the enthusiastic support for the invasion?

Walk the damn talk... Cut off Comcast. Cut off Disney. And let ATT know that you will not subscribe to CNN’s abusive rhetoric.

50+ million support Trump. A fraction could put Comcast out of business tomorrow.

Do you not get tired of yammering — bemoaning the MSM chumps?

All I can say is, it’s about time!
These invaders have no idea the resolve
of the US military. They’re use to the
ways of corrupt Mexican police and
the drug cartels. We don’t lose.
This is going to be interesting to
witness.

“...ticked off to the max that we have to expend multiple millions of taxpayer dollars to stage this border defense”...

Officially inform Mexico that the meters running on ALL costs associated with this deployment. Crosser’s country of origin doesn’t matter. Mexico had means and more than sufficient opportunity to shut it down. They blew it.

"The general did not impress early on. Too much Pentagon talk, not enough warfighter."

It's been in style for a few years for some civilians to imagine and create pseudo-military terms and even to create some of their own. So yes, it can be confusing for some.

"Not many miles of wire, too much talk of hardening."

The former is part of accomplishing the latter. The mission is to secure the land border and *not* to assault Mexican beaches (re. Marines/Navy, little humor there). Here's where the specifics start, including Army combat engineers, obstacles, etc. (at 9:04).

Mexico offered asylum and processing for employment to the people in the caravan. Some took Mexico up on that, while many others turned the offer down. The Mexican government simply doesn’t have the resources to deal with the huge and unruly multitude.

It will be interesting to see what happens after their arrival, probable long after the elections here. They’re in Oaxaca now, which is very close to the southern border of Mexico. They haven’t gotten very far.

The drama so far has only distracted from what we should be doing: getting the vote out here.

5,000 troops here and 5,000 troops there and soon you have a full Division on the border.
