How much would it take to pay off the Mexican Army to act?

This misconception that the US military is not trained in large scale crowd control is not correct. In 1975, when I re-entered the military into the air force, I was placed in a group of members that were called SP augmentees, and we were trained in crowd control using night sticks and armor, along with M17a1 (as early as 1960 use) masks with hoods for gas if deployed whether camphor or the real McCoy.

We know how to handle them physically. It may not look pretty except on the 11 o’clock news film for the wrong reason, but it is workable. So don’t think we are hamstrung with a lack of capacity to do the work. We’ve been involved with it for over 40 years, at least. And after all this time, we are, probably, pretty good at it.

In reality the US Military’s capacity to control crowds is way, way better than any of us suspect. They have a number of high-tech nonlethal weapons that should do the job if Trump gives the go ahead to use them.

I don’t always take comfort in this fact, as I am certain they were developed by the Deep State for use against US.

I heard that caller on Rush and am 110% convinced that he was a Lib seminar plant.

It's been so long since we had an actual president looking out for the interests of our SOVEREIGN country that the dummocraps have forgotten that we are indeed a sovereign nation---not the world's patsy for indiscriminately letting in all the world's unskilled trash to immediately become leeches on our taxpayers.

Why would you expect the libs to recognize US sovereignty when they don’t recognize individual sovereignty? Remember, to a lib, state rights trump individual rights unless it is their rights or aligned with their agenda.

Dump them in Sacramento or San Francisco. Let the
anti American liberals of Google, Facebook, and the California
legislature enjoy their company.

But remember — democrats are free to unite behind a sane suggestion at any time.

And — this caravan is getting vehicle support in Mexico. They could outride a hurricane. They could appear abruptly at the border. A MOAB mushroom cloud in the water near north Mexico would be an excellent wakeup call. There would, however, be cries of environmental consequences. So if its mainly in the air above the water, even better.

‘What is required is a military deployment in Mexico to stop the invaders that have already violated Mexican soverignty’

I agree with you.

But people have trouble imagining a just enough cause.

And then there is the cost of nation-building, the insurency inside Mexico.

But I would agree with a strike if the American people were to overwhelmingly support one.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“In reality the US Military’s capacity to control crowds is way, way better than any of us suspect.”

I agree. Even though Blackhawk Down was a failure, look at what just a few US soldiers achieved with tight rules of engagement — wait to hear the ‘hiss’ before shooting back.

Amazing restraint!

How much would it take to pay off the Mexican Army to act?

Whatever it cost it would be a mere pittance compared to the cost on taxpayers of providing totally free everything to 4,000 illegals and their anchor babies for the next 50 years or more.

Bring everyone through the gates in El Paso to Ft. Bliss. Have a few of our largest passenger aircraft available. Hopefully there is a place within Honduras that can support an aircraft that size. Figure it would take 50 trips at 300 per aircraft.

Good idea. But might I suggest the southern tip of Antarctica, so that they can't come right back.

[Old Yeller]

A PA system blasting recordings of speeches by Obama and Hillary? That would be inhumane.

Good point. Hillary's evil screeching would be enough to stop them in their tracks. And for the most difficult, go with Yoko Ono's screeching.

[Redwood71]

Plant or not, and most likely plant, the use of smoke, percussion devices, gas, electrical shock, and rubber bullets have been a staple for the the civilian law enforcement for years. Where does anyone think they got these ideas or devices?

Yes, an economically painful step for both countries but necessary.

[gogeo]

How will the caravan ever arrive in time to affect the midterms???

Magic.

[central_va]

Remember when Democrats didn't care about the optics of deportation.

“And for the most difficult, go with Yoko Ono’s screeching. “

No, that is specifically listed as an “infernal weapon” in a later update to the Geneva Convention.

“How much would it take to pay off the Mexican Army to act?”

Well, there must be a price list posted somewhere....

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Check with the Drug Cartels.

Invade Mexico for about a mile. Declare it a DMZ and all the migrants would be interned there.

Actually I love the Sight, Sounds & Smell of Napalm in the morning, in front of them not on them of course..
