It didn’t work in Ferguson precisely because nobody made it work in Ferguson. We have no-go zones on the Arizona border because nobody makes it work on the Arizona border. Were I prez (and I expect no less from Cruz or Trump) I’d send the NG to that “no-go zone” on inauguration day. That pols are too squishy to make it happen doesn’t excuse not making it happen. MAKE. IT. HAPPEN.
Yes, make it happen. But it’s stupid to bail water if you don’t also fix the leak that’s making you have so much water to bail. You don’t deliberately bring in a bunch of third-world lawless thugs into an area that you don’t have LE to handle.
