This is more than 5 battalions we’ve seen..they carry their nations’ flags and intend to occupy our country ‘through force of numbers’.....and this with Gov. leaders in the South encouraging and providing safe passage.

Using people in mass as weapons ...and leverage for blackmail.... and pressure on our country and it’s people. Is the worst kind of warfare.”

It is indeed an invasion, and PDJT has every right to call up the military to protect the border and prevent the invasion.

The second & third waves are increasingly violent, and Mexico ought to close its southern border & throw the invaders in Mexico out.

JME_Fan said:

“By international law, the so-called refugees were required to request asylum in the first country that offered such. Mexico them offered asylum, and the “refugees” refused that offer. Therefore, the United Sates has the full legal right to deny these fools entry and asylum. Moreover, the president has full constitutional authority to decide who is to be admitted into this country - and that dispute was already settled by the SCOTUS.

So much this...

They have to be stopped while STILL ON MEXICAN SOIL.

You can have a zillion troops but if you can’t demonstrate the POLITICAL WILL to tresspass Mexican sovereignty..?

I’m afraid most of the invaders WILL be here to stay; being on US soil kicks into play a whole, long legal process and turning them back while they are STILL OUTSIDE the USA will be prove far more feasible.

Even if our troops occupy just the first 100 meters of Mexico, that’s fine.

We were NOT invited into Grenada, we were NOT invited into Panama.

these people lost its "humanitarian claim" when their organizer/speakers rejected Mexico's offer to settle under international law.... The march has proven it is a reckless militant movement to crumble US borders. Period. The US has now a full right to act

Sadly, with the current dumb laws, all who present themselves to a proper checkpoint have to be checked in and released into the US. All the military can do is help speed up the check-in process.

Well, it’s kind of hard to move five divisions to the border without someone noticing it’s more than 800 troops! Yessir, if it were me, I’d be moving many more than I was letting on, and I know DJT thinks that way, too. Multiple divisions. That’s what I’d like to see and what I think it will take to do the job - until, that is, the wall is in place and we can determine exactly how many men it will take to man it.

The problem is they have no concern what our laws are.....obviously they are breaking through barriers, police lines and all other attempts to stop them..... Even when they were given what they asked for..”Asylum”...in mexico they refused. Which proves they are not refugees nor migrants but an invasion force....this is not about poverty, or hunger, or fear when your intentions are to break in, steal, and do violence as has already happened along their path.....

People are foolish to think anythings going to stop them from their destination....which is our border.

Looks like the scene from one of the Mummy movies, where the wave of locusts swarms over everything and everyone leaving only bones behind.

Yes....unfortunately that’s just what their intentions are...Large numbers of migrants from various countries–including Brazil and even as far as China & India–are traveling through Central America to the United States. So there’e no telling yet what they are capable of....
