What is the cost if nothing is done

What is the cost of the men back at the base doing busy work like policing the roads for butts ? Bring the Asian/European boys home to guard their borders at home, I bet they would love to do that and would cost less than keeping them based where they are.

Hey I am for using ALL military resources at the border.

I thought NM turned down the help? What is the facts on that?

Draw a line, when they hit it, martial law all along a completely closed border. Kick out all press, UN, non military/BP within a stated buffer zone. As long as they have their press and communications they will be a force to be reckoned with. First action should be take out cell towers or jam them in the area they inhabit. Once they lose their texting/streaming and press coverage they’ll be like your teen kids when you shut off their wifi.

Don't know about the current military deployment, but the national guard has been on the border since spring.

NM Guard troops

>>Someone posted an article earlier that stated the total number to deploy would likely be somewhere in excess of 10,000.<<

All law enforcement and military personnel now at the border should be employed 24/7 laying electrified concertina wire from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf Coast.

Well, we got them so me might as well use them.

Besides, practice makes perfect.

I have heard that they are going to release whatever they’ve got at Area 51 to take care of this.

I hope the President has staffers monitoring FR because I don’t see or hear sensible suggestions such as this anywhere else.

I am starting to worry that if too many troops go, the caravan just won't show up at all, and the boys won't get their stick time.

I hope so. I wish the regional commander was other than a USAF general whose background on ground ops is academic. I have heard USAF O-6’s who went to either Carlyle or G&GS remark that there were definitely different personality types among combat arms officers and the USAF office corps. While in any big war the USAF kills a disproportionate number of the enemy the fact that some Army combat arms officers seem to relish tactical operations strikes AF types as disconcerting.

Stomp and Drag with a nice Rosewood Shampoo and an OC rinse ........ is effective. Add a water cannon with a dye for effect and dousing the Molotov Cocktails flames and riots over. Btw ..... start with Cameramen and they’re Presstitute handlers.

Unless they are willing to install those precast concrete walls for several miles along the bridge, they will not stop them. Nor will bob wire or rubber bullets. Women and Children will be at the head of the line, they learned from ISIS. Which will make Trump look like a bully bad guy. Which it is designed to do.

Drop a Missile on the bridge take out a 3 mile section where you won’t destabilize the bridge, and they can’t cross unless they use the river. Put the troops there to turn them back. Not 1 gets into USA.

I do not think NM has a choice in this anymore.

Right!!! Need to build a DMZ like in Korea! Spend the money on our borders and create a new border division. Put Mexico on notice that we will use force and will invade areas of problems if needed!

Partner, we need to ask these Illegal Aliens the following question: "What do you not understand about the word "Illegal".

We are sure glad that President Trump is sending 14,000 troops to confront these "Illegal Alien Vermin"!!!

President W. Bush and the America Hating Piece of Work Obama would be greeting them at the border and saying we welcome all of you Illegal Aliens to America."
