The US is making a huge strategic error if it lets the column make it to the US border and assemble with women and children in front to face off with US forces who will likely not use force against them. Instead, irregular small teams and proxies should be infiltrating the caravan and removing leaders, disrupting operations, sabotaging vehicles and otherwise breaking up the column. Organizers like this one in Honduras should just become another casualty in the violent Honduran society.
We should have the army set up shop about 10 or so miles inside Mexican territory. If they let supposedly unarmed Hondurans through, surely they won’t mind the US Army squatting down on their land.
