Excellent point! We escaped California because we wanted to move in a state with a good Castle doctrine. And why that can’t apply to the whole country is beyond me. It was suicide.

If Trump lets them in for due process I will be looking for another presidential candidate this coming election, he will have lost my vote. The only way he could possibly get another vote from me would be 100’s of miles of SERIOUS border wall built before he runs again, otherwise, he’s received my last vote.

Repost from yesterday (I’m lazy :)

The fact these folks ignored the Mexican police and military and broke into Mexico makes them CRIMINAL INVADERS.

The chicken-shit US press will never use those truthful word though. Doesn’t fit their agenda.

Skunk juice and rubber bullets. Sounds waves that cause pain but no damage. LETS GO!

They won’t shoot. Treaties are included in the law of the land. We can’t fire (into) to Mexico.

That "rule-of-engagement" needs to be discarded. Pronto!

Mexico is aiding and abetting an invasion of the United States. We can shoot the invaders. We can also fire into Mexico and even do cross-border raids to destroy hostile forces.

Treaties saying otherwise have already been abrogated by Mexico and are no longer valid. Northern Mexico is essentially governed by the drug Cartels anyway, and should be considered a hostile country.

Mexico must stop them before they reach our border. They won’t though.

He’s going to do something, on Tuesday. I can’t wait to see what. I’m sure the press is already writing about how bad it is, and how it will destroy the country. But I think it will rally the base and we will win the midterms. He will put America first like no other president has.

The better translation is ‘do not use God’s name in vain’ - so it really isn’t about cursing. It is about using the name of God to do evil. This is along the line of ‘Unless the Lord builds the house the workers labor in vain’.

I would agree a good safe bet. Election will be over by then.

Good.

Get lost.

This isnt the 90s where you can play the “ah who cares. Imma gonna teach them a lesson” BS that got us Clinton or Obama.

Any of you fools pulling this crap are little better than Democrats and take your blackmail and shove it.

Because if you cost us any elections I will hope to God that the Dems rain hell on your heads until you are little better off than some defenseless serf trying to get out of Venezuela.

This isnt a fricking game anymore. Apparently some of you still dont get it.

They should have buses, many buses inside Mexico territory. Buses ready to drive them back home. They should be lined up so that the invaders will have to walk past lots of buses, or choose to get on one and go home. They need to be taken back BEFORE they get to the border. Get lots of pictures of the troops on the border out first, then line up the buses. Hopefully they’ll be smart enough to hop on.

If they were offered asylum in Mexico and refused, it it legal to then ask for asylum in America?

I will leave this in the hands of President Trump, James Mattis, and our military....

This is going to take amazing strategy to pull this off.

While there are great areas of vacant land to maneuver.

There are areas at the Ports of Entry that have a Mexican city immediately next to the Rio Grand River.

Most of the caravan will probably head to those cities and then maybe fan out. So how does the military handle those choke points where Mexican citizens live in those cities?

I’m totally on board with troops on the Mexican side of the border. Whatever it takes.

Good to know. You want a dictator, not a president.

They should also loose 1000 German Shepherds on them


Belgian Malanois are also fabulous war dogs, some say they are actually better than German shepherds. Belgian Malanois are trained to respond to commands PERFECTLY for up to 30 hours at a time with virtually no sleep, they have incredible stamina and focus.

What I’ve learned from watching “Live PD”: many criminals are not necessarily afraid of cops with guns, tasers, night sticks, pepper spray, etc. All criminals are fearful when the K-9’s show up. No one wants to be bitten and taken down by a k-9. LOL.

Excellent.

But they need to be allowed to actually stop the illegals trying to cross the border.

No more catch and release.
