The American People might want this, and they might not. They don’t want them here. No qualms about that.

Watching women and children get injured or killed 5 days before the midterms? Nobody wants that, or nobody should want that.

This is going to end up being Mexico’s problem.

What we need are spanish fluent civil affairs types getting statements disqualifying each person from consideration for asylum.

“I knew Trump wasn’t going to stop them.”

Do you people ever just wait and see what these guys do before you just emote?

I’m almost wondering if this is something you want more for the entertainment value more than these people actually doing this right?

I’m sure if these have to shoot some people, CNN will get good footage and you can it at your keyboards, grabbing your balls, and screaming “yeeeee ha!”.

“I knew Trump wasn’t going to stop them????

These guys just starting showing up, and none of thar caravan has even arrived......but you “know”.

Ok...

Hopefully we aren’t hearing about (and never will) a much smaller number going into Mexico to disrupt their supply line.

Wishful thinking. The US military is going to the border to set up Asylumville.

They're going to let the invaders walk right in, then help the Border Patrol to 'process' them. Say hello to your new neighbors.

How about shoot to kill orders?

Seriously? Unless they have very good reason. Think of the consequences.

Got an email this morning from a friend in the know.... The 82na Airborne is moving out to the border.

Are they bringing C-130s full of teddy bears and soccer balls?

I'm sick to my stomach.

I'm not advocating that we kill or injure anyone. We have the means and technology to repel these people without hurting them.

The cynic in me says that none of those means or technology will be used.

I'm sick to my stomach.

At least this should get the ‘caravan’ back on the front page instead of the fake bombs.

I trust there is a plan. I doubt the President has ever drawn a stupid breath, and he’s got good people in place.

Gonna have to trust to that, because even non-lethal means are going to look horrible.

The solution is repatriation. No matter what, its going to be expensive, but less so than immigration.

That’s their plan, by the way: Send them, and they’ll have to take them.

Good news: The wall’s getting built as a result. I don’t think there is any question of that.

I hope you're right, but the invaders and their enablers have been winning for decades now. Its almost too much for me to hope that they'll finally be turned back.

I'm sick to my stomach.

> Wishful thinking.

You’re right. And, honestly it makes me question our military budget. If we can’t perform pretty basic operations to protect our border, why should we pay buttloads of money to defense contractors just so we can parade sophisticated vehicles and weapons in front of countries on the other side of the world?

I get that a powerful military is a deterrent. But, if we won’t send a few dozen people to stop an invading horde non-lethally, who’s going to respect our $35billion fighter. As far as I’m concerned we don’t need a military if they can’t stop these invaders before they reach the border.

If it were 800 troops with flame throwers I
would have more confidence.

So when toddlers are sent ALONE what would you have us do?(non governmental capacity)
Go yell and scream at kids for something that isn’t their fault? Starve them to death?
Why would we be vicious to kids who are ALONE?
I could understand the outrage if they had been accompanied by adults. Then no that looks like a welcome wagon for adults. I get that. But these kids were abandoned.

The uniparty doesn’t want a wall and we don’t elect a king. I’m a big supporter of POTUS but it’s hard to see him winning on this one.
