Donald Trump has ordered the military to be on alert over a US-bound migrant caravan as he declared a national emergency.

Referring to the caravan from Honduras, the president tweeted: "Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States.

"I have alerted Border patrol and Military that this is a National Emergency."

He added that the US would begin "cutting off, or substantially reducing aid" to three Central American countries.

“...what do Democrats say when then next mob turns into 500,000 or more?”

“We’ve won, forever.”

And during the Cold War, our CIA would have issued a picture of George Soros with a bulls-eye on his head and a bounty.

And Soros would have been neutralized. And no one would have mourned his loss.

The damn DEMS are to blame for our rotten immigration laws.

We don't have "rotten" immigration laws. We have excellent immigration statutes.

What we have is a congenital institutionalized governmental inability to enforce, and a congenital predisposition to non-enforcement of, the immigration statutes, by the elitist powers that be on both political sides.

We are the laughing stock of the Western world. We spend billions on a military we are pathologically incapable of engaging for the Constitutional purpose of defending our very own borders, yet we have been manning the borders of Korea and other sovereign nations across the globe for the past 70 years, at tremendous cost and expense in blood, sweat and treasure to the U.S. taxpayer.

There is no way any enemy on earth can do to us any more damage than we are doing and have done to ourselves.

I once heard a famous Canadian author answer someone who asked the question, “What is the biggest difference between Canada and the United States?”

She said, “Well, for one thing, you have Mexico for your southern neighbor. And we have you.”

That was a couple of decades ago. Today we might say, “The biggest difference is that you have us for your southern neighbor and we have Mexico.”

It’s cold up there, but maybe the settlers there had the right idea.

Of course there are all different types of invasion.

It is NOT a Caravan and stop calling it that, it is an INVADING FORCE OF YOUNG MEN, all of which appear to be of Military Fighting age

You damn straight. This is an invasion and has been going on for years. All men in the border states should be armed and ready to go in a minute.

Very informative. There are so many ways the President can stop this invasion.

The more thousands that join this parade the more definite it will be that they will not get through.

They think the opposite, of course.

“The irony is that the caravan was most likely organised by a DEM aligned NGO designed to help DEM for the mid terms.”

How does marching a mob, which includes ISIS terrorists, toward the border help rats in the mid-term elections?

So true and so sad. I will be very disillusioned with Trump if he does not stop this invasion. I will never support him in 2020.

Close the border, ane I mean close it! No through Traffic, no Trucks, no products, no visitors, American citizens entering and Mexican citizens leaving ONLY, until Mexico deals with this.

Our military went to Newark and Detroit. Black soldiers in the 82nd Airborne did fire on other blacks in Detroit then.

Close the border first. Then start complete inspections as a negotiated compromise. If the produce trucks back up and spoil, Mexico will want the wall and help pay for i

Some history...how the French overcame Japanese VCR imports...the Poitiers border crossing:

The French designated the Poitiers customs post as the sole point for checking VCR imports from Japan.

This border post is in central France, manned by an only one clerk and is open at limited times

End result: hundreds of semi-trailers backed up for miles in rural France

And Japan promptly caves.

Some have said they are fleeing organized crime. Yet, 25% of the mob are members of MS 13, the most notorious gang in SA.

If PATRIOT Patrols go to Private Landowners it won’t matter about Carry Laws.

Hey there certainly seems to be a lot of you on the internet today. You are very good at poopooing others for their ideas but at least they are trying. You type doesn’t offer up anything just shoot other people down. When do you want to get serious about this invasion? When they are 10 miles within our border? Yes there are other alternatives to bombing the Horde but I don’t see you expressing them.
