Well, ISIS sure doesn’t think Mattis is a joke. There is a plan in place. We don’t know the details of the plan, but there is one. Trump has given the order to stop the caravan and has left it to Mattis to carry out the order.

There are many many commanders that could have beat ISIS. What was lacking before was Presidential buy in. That’s what made the difference not Mattis.

.......Mattis could sign the order as soon as Thursday to send hundreds of U.S. service members to help with logistical support such as providing tents and fencing.

History will be made as an invasion is stopped with tents and fencing.....

To start with, Biggs field adjacent to Ft Bliss in El Paso. There are others as well; all close to the border.

And if the smaller number acts as a deterrent, even better. We’re not dealing with an A-team army. And if more troops are needed, they’re available.

That’s the most frustrating thing here: we already have a base at the border with 37,000 personnel.

I suspect if we stop them the soros/dim’s plan B will be to set up a tent city on the Mexican side of the border.

AMEND THE CONSTITUTION

Liberals rigged immigration laws. It's almost impossible to keep illegal ingrates out of our country. The solution is to AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.

Congress won't act to protect us - liberal judges work against citizens...

Our best chance is to AMEND THE CONSTITUTION...

"Any person entering the United States illegally WILL BE evicted upon apprehension. Babies born in the United States to illegal alians WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED CITIZENS and will be deported with their parents as soon after birth as possible.

AMEND THE CONSTITUTION

It doesn't matter if we have ten thousand soldiers on the border if they don't have the legal authority to stop the invaders... We've got to change the law - it's our only chance.

Mattis is a proven warrior. Many high-ranking generals were politically connected in the past several decades. Mattis is not PC.

Well maybe it’s a good thing you’re not making those kind of decisions for the US. I trust President Trump to do the right thing here.

Only 800 Troops against as many as 10,000. LOL

Well, that might work if you had sent in the Marines.

Trump is going to have the military complete the wall.
