Maybe our Spec Ops people can go to Mexico for a turkey shoot!

We really need to clear about a 30 mile swath into mexico and make it neutral zone territory. It can be a training ground for snipers and other military units.

One of my best vacations ever was New Year’s in Guadalahara.

30 years ago.

That’s the only solution they will respect.

The economic and social problems in Mexico will only get worse over time. Consider:

1. Trump can drive the peso down, which raises gasoline prices, and cost the country jobs with one tweet.

2. The wall and tighter border security will close off the safety valve that feeds exports like drugs and economic refugees north.

3. Sending the criminals back will help to destabilize Mexico even more.

Hold on to your hats.

For years we have been sending spec ops into Syria, Lybia and ?? where we have no real danger or need.

Then, we have ignored the Mexican Drug Cartels and possible Isis training camps a few miles south of our border.

Take out those immediate dangers to America/Americans and tweet the Mexican government, stronger measures to follow if you don’t clean up your country.
