Only if the Commander in Chief orders that it be done.
Dirt berms topped with concertina wire. 700 miles of them.
Made out of steel from the USA.
You could not drop leaflets over a foreign country without permission from them.
You are assuming that these people can read.
Not F-22s; not loud enough. B-1 Bones, sub sonic, long loiter time.
REALLY LOUD. Been there.
Give them a whiff of grape
Microwave pain ray trucks.
No permanent damage and the optics are minimal. All that happens is people run from the area.
I like the way you roll, but the reality is that Federal law, international law and the courts, including that of public opinion, would frown upon your proposal.
Fingerprint and photograph every alien invader and let them in. Then make it known that any business who hires them will face a $10 million dollar fine per illegal hired, seizure of all assets and 20 years in federal prison.
That will throw the illegal hiring industry into chaos.
“3. Phase 3 would involve making the invaders very uncomfortable physically.”
That is not going to happen. Those people will walk across the border in a few days. We do not, as a country, have the intestinal fortitude to do what would be necessary to stop them. Did you see them tear down the fence at the Mexico southern border? The only way to stop them is shooting them, and that ain’t happening.
Invoke the war powers act.
Allows the president to mobilize the military for up to 60 days of action. This should be sufficient to prevent the caravan from actually making the border.
Mexico won’t allow us to operate in their land. The horde will reach our border, with the women and children up front, and all news cameras on them. I think we’re limited to crowd dispersion like tear gas and giant fans. After the election, rubber bullets.
Mexico would never allow it. No country would allow that.
We can stop them at the border. We can make them all apply for asylum. We can hold them all. Anyone coming in illegally should be sent home immediately.
There is not much more we can do, based on our existing laws.
Right now we should be building tent cities for all of the nice people and their children.
Oh, and stop all money transfers out of our country to Central America. And stop all aid to Mexico and Central America.
Forget water. Use "Skunk" from Odortec.
A-10 Warthogs - 10 would do nicely - unloading on the column of invaders.
Tell Mexico to end this. Or else.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Lay “tire blowout strips” to disable the trucks and busses.
Strategically locate the place to allow only turn arounds that head back south.
Military road checkpoints along the highway will turn around all vehicles. It cuts off their supply chain.
North is a permanent traffic jam.
South is open highway.
Walking North means starvation.
Walking South means buses to take you home.
Cut off the supply and redirect it.
Anybody still wanting to eat, heads back south.
Simple. - It is not rocket science.
If Mexico Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvado all cannot stop this and those countries don’t believe in sovereign boarders then I say we invade them all. Burn their capitals, raid their banks and auction off their resources.
In before the “nuke em and nuke Mecca while we are at it” crowd.
