Yes, politics are politics.

And laws are laws.

Just because they’re may be a political upside doesn’t man you shouldn’t enforce existing laws.

If the military is effective in stopping this invasion the Central Americans will have a big problem. They will be interfering with the flow of drugs. The Cartels will not tolerate this.

As Mattis said recently - to our adversaries, you want to be working with our State Department because you sure don’t want to be working with me.

This guy Vespa has to go and get my hopes up...and then the big let-down when we find out that there wasn’t actually any reporter shot down - like with a Phalanx CIWS or a missile - but a mere verbal retort.

Geez, Louise, it just ain’t right to do that!

No Posse Cometatis concerns, either. Soldiers defend the border. Period.

It’s the constitutional requirement of the militia, to repel invasion.

What if they all say the secret words to get asylum?

A conversation in the Anbar province between the sheiks and general Mattis (circa 2004).

“I come in peace. I did not bring artillery....”

This time.

Doesn’t matter if they repeat the special words.

Mexico offered them asylum; they refused. Law is “refugees” must accept the first country that offers it that they set foot in.

No asylum for any of them.

Then they all get stuck in a tent, hopefully forced to wear pink pajamas and underwear, fed bologna sandwiches and overseen by Sheriff Arpaijo.........

It's not the Cartel's they need to worry about, it is their bosses, the CIA,DEA and ATF

Iran is in Trump’s crosshairs. The oil sanctions kick in on 5 Nov. Iran has declared this an act of War. They said they will retaliate, therefore, sealing the border against potential terrorists in advance of active operations against Iran is a good idea. The Dems would be screaming bloody murder if this was only about S. Americans. It is National Security, just not what we are led to think!

The cartels are probably investing heavily in Democratic Party politics
