Troops have been putting up a barbed wire border at the Rio Grande River. But it’s not like the rusty old barbed wire that we used to sneak through as a kid…it’s concertina wire or razor wire.

They have laid about 1,000 feet of the wire along the Rio Grande River, as well as under the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge. The idea is to dissuade the Migrant caravans from crossing at that point in the river. The Rio Grande is a common place for illegal immigrants to enter the United States. The Border Patrol stated that the wire was part of “necessary preparations” for the arrival of the migrants.

My gut reaction is that this ain’t gonna cut it (pardon the you-know-what).
First off: I hope Mattis is talking to his counter part part in Israel for some advice. We haven’t faced this problem in many years, they have.
My solution would be to give Mexico an ultimatum and tell them that a) the refugees are their problem b) they cannot be allowed within a certain distance of our border c) if Mexico fails to comply, we will enter their territory and create a buffer zone ourselves.

Time to airdrop billions of BLU-43 landmines along the border.

The problem is that concertina wire is worthless without troops.
A big enough wall works pretty well, but concertina wire can be either lifted or...you simply throw a wide plank over it and walk on the wood.

COnstatine wire is easily defeated with bolt cutters. THey should not have announced this at all. 1000 ft? That all?

[Karoo]

Surely there are drones patrolling.

[Karoo]

Don’t you think the military knows what they are doing?

[zaxtres]

Do you really want an answer to that?

[Sacajaweau]

Not if there's a stone faced USA soldier staring at you.

You really think they're ONLY putting down 1000 ft.?

[redhead]

Now.Plug it in to the 440....

There will not be a show-down. That would be a actual tragedy that would be milked by the leftist-extremists. Those people are going to be collected into a tent city, and then deported by ship or air.

So what’s to keep the invaders from bringing step ladders with them? Makes for a great bridge across concertina.
