The only way to keep the migrants out, is to engage in an Anti Invasion Action (AIA).
The military is already sending tanks and troops to the border which I suspect is because this is whats possibly planned.
Our military can engage in a limited action to push into mexico 25-50 miles along the southern border. We can then declare this strip of land to be part of an active military action, and prevent the movement of any people into or out of this buffer zone.
Therefore the invaders don't make it to our border.
I doubt we will meet much resistance from the Mexican military. It will be like when Israel invaded part of Syria recently to form a protective buffer zone.
You’re not really thinking this thing through.
What percentage of the American Military is of Mexican or Hispanic decent.
5 minutes after your invasion the left will be urging them to resist....
This would be more doable if it were 1828 instead of 2018. The Demonrats would not get in the way.
That doesnt sound like a very good idea to me. Why dont we just give back Texas Arizona and California for a few weeks?
The vast majority of Mexican-American especially those in the military are patriotic and would welcome the opportunity to protect their country. The left better not be aiding an opposing military force.
The invasion migrants already ran through the Mexican military and Mexican law enforcement.
Ok would you all feel better if we used the CIA to pretend the mexican military attacked us first? or that there was an armed militia in the caravan also to give us an excuse?
Do we really need an excuse like Iraq?
A goodly percentage of the Border Patrol is of Mexican or Hispanic descent. They, like their felloows in the Army, do what they're ordered to do.
“We can invade anybody we want.”
You have to be kidding. Spoken like a true neocon.
“Do you remember the Iraq war?”
Yeah, and that worked out well didn’t it. Perhaps you remember numerous authorizations by the UN and votes in congress?
“War is not impeachable as the PRESIDENT is the sole commander in chief, not the congress or every senator or every judge.”
If you have the votes you can impeach for anything.
People in the military get tired of fighting in foreign lands or just doing practice over and over
I’m not a neocon, I am not a conservative, I’m a military guy and my point is I bet you all supported the IRAQ war but here we are ready to pounce on mexico and teach them a lesson but you’re being wimps about it.
This is exactly what SHOULD happen. On U.S. soil troops are subject to posse comitatus. The second they step foot into Mexico they can possess and hold territory with force if necessary. The Bush Doctrine allows for just that if Mexico control its border.
I think the most reasonable thing to do is to make Mexico stop this invasion. We should just take over their corrupt country, install a federal republic, and leave.
True, but play this out. How quickly would the congress solve this problem if we did a limited in scope incursion?
If it was me making the call, I’d post at least a division along the border, sew three rows of concertina wire, and place claymores in between the rows. I’d spice it up with some Predator drones, too. I don’t care who thee invaders sacrifice to test our resolve: one toe across the line and all that will be left is a smoking hole in the ground.
“The vast majority of Mexican-American especially those in the military are patriotic’
I totally agree, very good people.
“The left better not be aiding an opposing military force.”
They have been doing this for generations and won’t stop until they are totally defeated.
But again, the cost/benefits analysis. Its just not worth it. Just enforce our existing laws. We can start with the employers. Dry up the jobs and they won’t come. Its as simple as that.
And the left will try to divide, you’re kidding yourself if you think they won’t
Come on freepers we need to have a change of attitude, we are the predators, and it is a bad idea to try to provoke the predator.

Time to solve this problem with men of steel
Trenches with Gators is a
Sweet deal.
As for the left, thats another story, How would you go about totally defeating them? I know how I would, but I am a student of the art of war.
Have You been to Rhe Border?
“You do understand that would be an act of war ?”
lol...mexico has been at war with the U.S. for decades.
