“I wonder how long it would take to put miles of barbed wire down there...”
It should take s lot less time than it took to build a 400-mile-long highway that could take the weight of tanks in the Saudi desert during the first Gulf War. That, btw, took 30 days - or, rather, 30 nights.
Surely, we can put up a similar amount of barbed wire at least as q

Watch what actually happens, then be happy/pissed depending on outcome. I sincerely doubt they will be met with force.

Amen.
If there are no Mexican troops to stop the invaders, Mexico has ceded it's territory. American troops are no more foreign than the invading horde.
Mexican sovereignty does not presently exist. American troops across the border are not violating Mexican sovereignty

The Spanish Armada ran into bad storms & lost many ships.
That turned the tide in favor of England.

Don’t announce the ROE in advance; keep the enemy guessing.

I wonder if President Trump declaring a national emergency at the border cancels “catch and release?”

>>Barbed wire. Lots of it.<<
I think triple concertina, electrified, works better. That’s what I’ve heard anyway.

I think there would also be a need for a fairly deep trench beneath the barbed wire or else illegals will just simply crawl under it.

Actually, the Posse Comitatus Act and HOW it comes into play regarding the NG and other troops confronting the horde of invaders at the border was just discussed on FOX news.
Federalizing the NG at the border was mentioned. Did anyone hear the entire segment?

We will soon know, but one thing we already know: His credibility is on the line, so if he doesn’t deliver it’s going to hurt him.

Yes, will be interesting. Someone in this or another thread asked what we might expect of the military? While we might like the idea of them shooting people trying to cross the border, that's not going to happen and would be very bad optics. Push them back across the border? Reprise Cruz and Beck and welcome them with them teddy bears, soccer balls, and food? As much as I want the border closed and secured, how can the military do this from day one without killing a lot of people or passing them along. Last mass arrival ended up with 97% caught and then released into the US.
Maybe an ankle bracklet, government issued ID, released with promise to not work or ask for public assistance, else be permanently deported. No job, no public welfare, going home (even if we pay the repatriation) sounds like a more sober and promising choice.

I have stressed this point on several other threads. If the military is ordered to get the wire up within say 10 days, it will be done in 10 days. You can bet the farm that if this was a real military invasion, that wire would be in place in a real big hurry. Anyone who says otherwise is blowing smoke.

The President CAN use Federal troop on the border with Mexico. Poss Comitatus does not apply there.
