They are an invading army.

Kill them all.

Eff Meh-heco.

Occupy 5 miles on the Mex side.
Create a No-mans Land.
Kill everything that moves.

I have been wondering why they are not stringing the wire right now. There is an invading army on the way north, respond accordingly.

Assuming the US had agreement with the Mexican government and Mexican military

Not necessary. They will stand down or be destroyed.

The President has 90 days to win a war or get us so entrenched that Congress has no choice but to continue to fight. It's a lot of leeway.

Agree with everything else you said--waiting until they cross the border is insane, because the moment they touch land they will be subject to court orders (and domestic civil disobedience). The fight needs to be taken to them on the open road, and it has to be kid gloves.

UPDATE; Mexico is just reportedly prohibiting further advances north. So, they have seen the light...

Haven't heard this, but it sounds tactical and temporary. Perhaps weather related. The caravaners can get to the border in a couple of days on trucks. This ain't over.

If they had seen the light, the migrants would be on their way back south headed for camps or out of Mexico.

I am sure the US had nothing to do with this but brining ashore a CAT3+ hurricane is always welcome

Excellent suggestion. Trump should inform Mexican authority that any attempt to stop will be met with disaster. Mexico is part of this invasion and may be subject with loss of all aid from the US. The border will be closed to all trade.

You’re making a pretty big assumption that they can read, or even speak Spanish.

I don’t think I’m in the leaflet camp. I’m leaning more toward truck mounted water cannons. Let Mexico clean up those injured —they facilitated this mess.

Right now we should be building tent cities for all of the nice people and their children.

exactly! This can be done quickly. All adults should be kept there until processed, a few at a time. Most of them will be sent home.

Create a neutral zone in N Mexico. We had to do it because of armed incursions by cartels and smugglers. Funnel all invaders into the neutral. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is sent in to create a tent city.

Leaflets? You assume these people are literate? Doubtful.

Set off several large nuclear devices in the Arizona Desert - at ground level to maximize radioactive fallout. Then use large fans to blow the fallout southward over the invaders.

I mean, since this thread is about dropping nonsensical “leaflets” over Mexico (As if the Mexican government would allow U.S. military access to Mexican airspace ...

Well Laz, you beat me to it.
The device is truck mounted amd it might be a type of millemetric wave device. I seem to remember it was effective out to 600 yards or so. Just the device you need for crowd control. Seems it makes the target feel like they are on fire. Does no harm but the beam is unbearable.
Now if i were in command i would turn it on the media after the invaders had been repulsed. Just as a demo, know what i mean. Heh, heh, heh.

Forget water. Use "Skunk" from Odortec.

Boy, would that put a damper on their parade (invasion). I think Israel has been known to use this.

How about herding all the invaders through a tunnel into the US. Then have the other end of the tunnel curve back into Mexico.

Good Ideas. Since Mexico could not stop them, get their permission to fly over and drop all the leaflets.
