Might as well have some pictures of our victims, many of them veterans. http://www.ojjpac.org/

That applies to the thousands who come in under the radar as the saying goes. Those hollowed out dirt tunnels have low ceilings.
Finally some humor today, on a grim day. A Blues Brothers reference just in time.
Soros and Tom Donahue mighty disappointed.
We will either be thanking them for another four years or cursing them again.
I have a lot of faith that Trump will win.
Because he is the reason Mexico is doing what it is doing.
Is it excessive, or Mexcessive?
“The globalist progs have such a limited playbook that all they can do is keep recycling their ops.”
To be honest, their playbook has worked every other time. But they’ve never faced a public charged up by President Donald Trump before.
Mexico used to escort them to the US border. Now Mexico is sending troops to stop them at THEIR southern border.
President Trump flipped the script and the dems haven’t noticed yet.
The rules of the game have changed but the leftists are like the old coach who the game has passed by.
The dems are still playing three yards and a cloud of dust in a Joe Namath age.
Good for Mexico. It would be nice to get to the point where Mexico and the U.S. can be like we once were, where people on both sides could visit, be friendly without all the leftist generated and produced animosity.
Winner winner
Chicken dinner
You nailed it
He surprised me also when he asked President Trump to investigate Fast and Furious. I got this strange hunch they are helping each other.
GIGGLES
Mexico knows once these illegals reach Mexico, that’s as far north as they’ll get.
So Mexico won’t let them in.
Either THEY block it...
... or WE will. One way or the other.
They’re either expecting a Biden presidency, or were trying to cross over the border in time to cast their votes for democrats.
Democrats will likely take Obrador to court in order to stop the Mexican military from stopping that caravan. It’s a major voting block for democrats.
I wish them success.
Oh and we have a few other things making an invasion a bad idea. ;-)
“where the current new wall construction is and if it is going to deter these people?”
Bottom Line: The best places for them to try to charge across (big cities) are now significantly blocked by new wall, but there are are still a lot of difficult areas (like across the river into Texas) where a mob might be driven, with enough encouragement and support.
The new wall is being built according to Border Patrol/DHS priorities, although some segments have been delayed out of priority order (notably the Rio Grande Valley in Texas), because of local considerations (acquiring private property, flood control issues).
Historically, 300-400 miles of the border accounted for the great bulk of illegal traffic - the border cities, the Rio Grande Valley, where highways run close to the border, and some places where there are some old trails or rivers to follow. Those are the places high on the priority list.
The administration had 341 miles completed as of last Monday, and are on track for their goal of 450 by the end of this year. The total Trump Program completed or funded is 738 miles. Beyond that on the priority list, you are looking at hard rural terrain, without enough life support for large caravans.
Last year, the big caravan drama was in Tijuana/San Diego. That is very unlikely to happen again, as the old barrier there has been replaced with two runs of gigantic tall bollards, with a big “man trap” enforcement zone between them. Door closed.
Today, the Border is dramatically stronger than it was a year ago. By the end of 2021, the border will be dramatically stronger than today. That will be the great bulk of the job. After that, it will be a slower paced game of whack-a-mole, plugging 50-75 miles worth of smaller routes per year.
The Bottom Line with these People: Mexico is going to crack some heads and turn them back South, before they get within a thousand miles of our border.
Guatemala is already thinning the herd, before they even make it to Mexico.
Those Governments are now held accountable by the Trump Administration, and can’t afford to fail in their metrics - especially for Mexico to reap the windfall benefits of the new USMCA trade deal, and get a huge chunk of the supply chain, that we are ripping out of China. Money talks. This caravan will get the bloody end of a riot baton if they push the issue.
Thank you!
Hopefully it was in installment payments so we can cut them off if they fail to do their job.
