I think its time to close up those 75 year old bases in Europe and bring our troops home to patrol our border.
We protect the borders of so many countries, but not ours with our troops.
With 74,000 deaths last year from drug overdoses and homicides at the Mexican - USA border we cannot afford
to keep our forces abroad.
Illegals cost us 150 billion per year in welfare, education,
medical expenses, and depress wages of American. They are bringing back illnesses once thought to be cured.
We should go into Mexico and take over a 50 mile buffer DMZ
to make sure our border is secure until we have that 30’ wall erected. Furthermore, if Cartel armed thugs challenge
our troops we should put them down like the dogs they are.
Agree:
Our forces need to be INSIDE Mexico, along the border.
It doesn’t mean being mean, using unnecessary force, but I think things have come to the unusual point at which we have to do something really unusual.
In fact, our forces *have* before gone all the way to Mexico City.
The USMC sings “From the halls of Montezuma” for a REASON and it would be good for the whole country (and theirs) to be reminded of it.
