In an interview aboard Air Force One on Monday, President Trump made clear there was no limit to the number of troops he's willing to send to the border to address the growing migrant caravan quickly making its way through hot and humid temperatures in Mexico to the U.S. border.

But when? Why not now?
Maybe he is or will soon. Doesn’t Trump like to not tip his hand too much and not broadcast military strategy?
Aren’t there some bridges north of where they are?
Send a few thousand troops in Humvees with miniguns.
Drop fliers telling the caravan that if they get into the US they will get no food. housing or medical. If we keep them off of every government program they will leave. Tell them the only money they get from us is a plane ticket home.
Also tell Mexico if the caravan keeps coming we will stop all money coming from the US to Mexico. Since it is the 2nd largest part of their economy they can’t do without it.
Dear President Trump: Ask for volunteers also. Many would go to lend a hand for free.
What do you suggest, we can't shoot them - it will screw up the mid-terms.
This
a day trip in the US! they can be the talk of the town when they get back home :)
Posse Comitatus Act DOES NOT APPLY TO THE BORDER AND ALIENS.
Agreed, shooting them won’t work. Can’t build a wall in 13 days; probably can’t deploy much military in that time either. Probably most viable solution will be to get Mexico to act on our behalf. Close border, commerce, and remittances if the flow to the border does not stop. Let their military do the shooting so long as their guns are pointed south.
There should be a whole bunch of behind-the-scenes efforts to delay and disrupt the invasion force. We would not hear much about them, of course. However we should be seeing troop deployments now (A step up in the pace of "routine military exercises").
The Leftists want bloodshed before the election. They will probably get it, one way or another. Best to put those ballots in as early as you can. Things might get a little busy later.
so what they already showed they were not able to cross that ( mexican authroites in the way) so they crossed the river in rafts etc. and I think most were on the mexico side by the next morning ready to go north.
disabling a bridge is not a huge hinderance for them.
We the people need to go to the border and let our voices be heard. We do not want more illegals here, we want those here deported and the border secured. We need to support President Trump by showing up in HUGE numbers.
Not in any way to interfere with Border Patrol or the military but just show up at the Ports of Entry in HUGE numbers and let everyone know we are fed up with this sort of thing.
How many murderers, rapists, and child molesters would you guess are among the thousands of invaders? Consequently how many Americans will end up murdered, raped, or molested if decisive action is not taken?
Trump is not making me feel good about this situation.
A couple of them and a dozen troops should be as many as it takes.
Trump’s got this.
Bombing the bridges both road and rail will turn off the $$ on both sides of the boarder for those that exploit America. This is the biggest pressure to be brought to bear on the Mexican Gov. Turn off their $$, turn on their military and police forces.
MAGA!
The Posse Comitatus Act is to keep the government from using the military against citizens in this country. It has nothing to do with our ability to use the military to secure our border to keep foreigners from illegally crossing our border.
Perfect excuse to build the wall. Have the men and a real invasion threat. Declare an emergency crisis that calls for stripping all unnecessary funded liberal programs and ex-president, ex-congressmen and ex- senators pension money to to be immediately diverted to help with the funding, since this would have never happened if they did thier damn jobs.
It is prudent to assume that the left now knows they are toast in this election. So they are going for actual real war. That possibility exists. Just listen to one of those cretins.
