And what’s almost hitting Mexico, is NOT a “TYPHOON”!

And whilst I'm at it, correcting you..."NEAPOLITAN" refers to someone/something from NAPLES,ITALY; NOT the French army of Napoleon Bonaparte!

Kamikaze == "divine wind" (since the storm was 'providential')

Hence the name for the WW II suicide pilots, to inspire them and the populace.

Napoleon and the Germans were both thwarted in Russia by exceptionally cold winters. WW1 and WW2 were both influenced by weather. I think we have a shot of at least delaying and shrinking the Caravan.

I read once that one of the factors in the defeat of Germany in Russia, was that the German horses (still used for a LOT of their transport) would freeze to death at -18 F. The Russian horses, properly bundled up, would last until -54 F.

There was an anecdote about a German soldier, served soup boiling hot out of a company kettle, who misplaced his spoon. By the time he found it 30 sec later, the soup in his bowl was lukewarm; by the end of 2 or 3 minutes, what was left in the bowl was frozen solid.

Some of us have been talking about the hurricanes headed towards Mexico for at least 2 days now, on this site. You're a bit late to that "party".

Once again everyone rubs their hands and say what is to be done? Well how about we change the law that gives the leaches special rights when they touch American soil, that would sure as hell be a good place to start.

I hope that every illegal who is caught is subjected to having fingerprints and DNA registered.

We need a 21st century, civilian “Line Jackson” at the border (see Andy Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans) — a defensive trench (made from a 10-ft wide canal) and an earth and timber rampart made from the excess earth removed from the canal.

And they should also have one of those trackers embedded under the skin, before they are loaded on boats or planes and shipped back to Central America.

If the Mexicans wanted to stop this convoy * they only walk for the cameras) they could shut down the fuel stations when their vehicles arrive in a town.
Who thinks these people will actually walk the length of Mexico?

These migrants are going to walk up to the checkpoint and request asylum.

No storming necessary.

The only potential role for the military is to feed and house the applicants if the existing facilities are insufficient.

No one knows this better than DJT.

Why aren’t these people trying to get to Costa Rica? Life is good there and they speak Spanish. Much easier. Why not Panama? Why not Colombia? Ecuador?

Why not Cuba? Venezuela? (Para los que quieren socialista utopia)?

The vast majority of them are very good people. However, they’ve been sold an erroneous bill of goods, i.e. propaganda, which has brought about this situation.

Nonetheless, without proper vetting, who can tell the good from the bad? (Some are dangerous criminals)

They must be patient and go through the proper channels to be allowed to reside here.

IMPO, We should get out of Afghanistan, and do operations in Central America. Jail their leaders and gang members and make those beautiful tropical countries livable.

It would be a mission of mercy, actually. Would you like to live there? Not me!

IOW, fix the problem at its source, not just treat the symptoms.

Are you listening Mr. President? (I can see that you have a good heart.)
