Maybe even defoliate the Mexican side and say "Oops, navigational error!"

Armed smugglers allegedly associated with the Gulf Cartel were responsible for the onslaught of automatic fire that endangered the lives a Border Patrol Marine Unit in early August, as it policed the banks for drug smugglers and human traffickers along the Rio Grande Valley River, in Texas.
Department of Homeland Security investigators recently uncovered that it was to prevent the Border Patrol boat from trampling or breaking an underwater pulley line devised by the cartel to transport large quantities of cocaine into the United States, according to a For Official Use Only law enforcement sensitive document obtained by SaraACarter.com...
The U.S. Border Patrol agents, assigned to the Rio Grande City Station Marine Unit, were patrolling the Rio Grande near Fronton, Texas. They reported they were fired upon from the Mexican riverbank and witnessed four subjects with automatic weapons who shot over 50 rounds at them. The boat was hit several times but no one on board was injured, according to the CBP at the time...
The Gulf Cartel was utilizing the underwater pulley system to move the shipments without detection across the river when the Marine Unit entered their area...
As the cartel members began to “recover the bundles of cocaine on the pulley line, members of CDG began to fire at the USBP marine unit,” the report states. “CDG fired upon the Marine unit to prevent it from crossing and breaking the pulley line.”

I’m surprised the Wall construction crews have not been fired upon. Apologies to the honest and patriotic Hispanics and Latinos among us, of which, of course, there are many millions, but I would hope the crews consist of out of state contractors, who have no other connections to the border or the area. Cartels will use whomever they can find, of whom they might take advantage, by threatening them or their families. God protect our BP, other troops, and the work crews, in the Name of Jesus, and confounded the works of the enemy!
“I’m surprised the Wall construction crews have not been fired upon.”
The cartels rule their areas with an iron fist, and don’t want to draw any heat that hurts their business.
Kill some Border Patrol, and you get a certain crackdown.
Besides, most of the construction crews are half Mexican anyhow - probably related.
I think we need F-18’s with Napalm on standby
YES ... along with tactical nukes
Where’s Mr Brrriiittt when you need him?
