The issue is:

Why can’t the leftists fix the Central/South American problems left by Spain’s colonial rule?

Early in the 20th century we had military spread all across our southern border.

Take out their logistics.

I hear that a handful of sand in the fuel tank can stop a truck.

As always, Bob Barr makes sense as he did in the House. He used to be my district Congressman.

“As always, Bob Barr makes sense as he did in the House. He used to be my district Congressman.”

And he’s hard-core libertarian. If anyone would have an issue with deploying the military on US soil, he would - and yet he does not.

It's reported the caravans are preparing flame cocktails and actually already used these at the bridge

border....Posting this to show the very real danger our border patrol and military could face. This officer

was severely burned in a Paris protest. These cocktails are highly dangerous without question!

I think he ought to consider making McAllen (TX) International Airport a new base for the Texas Air National Guard. Same thing goes for the Arizona ANG and whatever airport would be most suitable there.

The leftists can’t resolve the three basic core problems: (1) corruption at every level, (2) family or political favoritism over the economy and national direction, and (3) no birth control policy.

Other than Costa Rica, I can’t think of a Latin American government that corruption doesn’t affect. In most of these countries...they’ve all got populations that the jobs simply don’t exist for, and it’d serve the public to convince people to limit family sizes.

I just read that the 101st Airborne Division (Screaming Eagles) will also deploy troops, equipment and resources to the border.

Horrific picture, he’s just doing his job...

If our military is attacked like this, I hope the response is aggressive and fast.

The military is a constitutional entity. The Border Patrol is a creation of Congress. Frankly we should have had the military guarding our borders since 1789. We should build permanent bases along the southern border and have 24/7 patrols assigned to preventing incursions.

The Founders didn’t want a standing army.

How does posse comitatus enter into this? Our country is being invaded at its southern border! By that reasoning, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor (incidentally before declaring war) it was a violation of the posse comitatus act for the remnant of our Air Force to go after them. This article was written by a non-thinker!

The only border we had in 1789 was 2000 miles of ocean. We didn’t need the army on the border to prevent an invasion. Right now we have a porous southern border that is being constantly invaded. We need the military there. We still have a standing navy of the ocean fronts but nothing covering about 5000 miles of open land to the north and south.
