There is no better use for our military than guarding our own border
Conservative Review ^ | November 2, 2018 | Daniel Horowitz

Trump has shown strong leadership as commander in chief on this issue. But there is one issue that even the military cannot solve: our own legal masochism. The caravan is now suing us in our own federal courts. If the Trump administration even legitimizes this lawsuit by sending DOJ attorneys to defend the case rather than simply treating this potential judge as a lawbreaker of all judicial precedent, no army in the world can stop the invasion by lawfare.

Building the wall while they’re there would be even better. Perhaps they could do both.

Our military are not guarding our border, they are watching our border. Until they can be armed properly with pepper spray, tear gas, high power water canons just for starter they will not stop the invasion. How can anyone possible expect anything different. When Trump said rock throwers will be arrested not shot we are done. We have no way to catch these rock throwers who want to kill.

All the enemy needs are a few bioweaponized bodies in that mass of people. Say...…..lepers, polio-carriers, or some other Patient 0.

With all of President Trump's accomplishments so far, the whole enchilada is on the line with what happens to the terrorist invasion (what the fifth-column leftist media deceptively calls "migrant caravan").

If the terrorists are stopped (by whatever force it takes), Trump scores yet another victory and fufills a campaign promise. And, as icing on the cake, maybe a number of Demonicrats and media scum will choke to death on their own vomitous lies.

But if the terrorists push their way into the U.S., Mattis, Sessions, Pompeo, Nielsen, and Trump are politically burnt toast to the MAGA voters who elected them to stop the illegal invasions. And no spindoctoring will change that.

Worst AG ever. Trump should have replaced him immediately Sessions recused himself.

Just FYI that is being ignored.

From the Texas Constitution:https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CN/htm/CN.4.htm

Quote: “Sec. 7. GOVERNOR AS COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF MILITARY FORCES. He shall be Commander-in-Chief of the military forces of the State, except when they are called into actual service of the United States. He shall have power to call forth the militia to execute the laws of the State, to suppress insurrections, AND TO REPEL INVASIONS. . . .”

Americans have been spoiled by having two huge oceans guarding our east and west coasts and by having two fairly friendly neighbors to the north and south-

-makes us tend to forget the military’s true purpose

Suggestion:
Use female troops to stop the invasion.

Who do the MSM root for then?

This has been needed for decades, and no President, including Reagan, had the courage to do so.

We need a new branch of the military—The Border Guard. They would Patrol a zone 25 miles along the borders. What good is a wall if its not manned? Russia has such a force—so do other lands. A permanent chain of forts, walls and roads, villages and landing strips. The force would have slow old aircraft, drones, Cavalry, Armored Cars and light tanks. Crossing the zone should be a 25 year sentence to labor on the wall and the zone.
