Think like a cartel.
Trump drops he’s ready to deploy 15,000.
“those pieces of crap are interrupting my international multi-billion dollar business running drugs and humans into the U.S.”
“we need to stop them.”
I used to believe that enhanced border enforcement would motivate the cartels to take care of the caravan themselves. Then I read that most of the caravan is headed to Tijuana, and it occurred to me that some of the cartels would see the benefit of having an area controlled by their rival shut down. We won’t call up enough force to completely seal the entire border, that would take a huge number of troops and a many times that number to support them. What we are likely to do is track the caravan and concentrate our forces in spots where we expect them to cross. This pulls the border patrol from everwhere else, creating confusion and opportunities to smuggle even more drugs and illegals. If I were a cartel anywhere but TJ, I think I’d see the caravan as a blessing.
“Think like a cartel.”
I posted the idea over a week ago to make it impossible for the cartels to get their drugs across and they will do the dirty work to stop the caravan.
