I’ve long said that behind the wall we should have 200-300 foot-tall towers, spaced about a mile apart, armed with quad-.50s, and that it should be backed by several rapid-reaction forces with V-22s, Apaches and A-10s. That’ll keep the cartels on their side of the border.

He told me he’s going to think about my suggestion he employ clowns on stilts with grenades and A15s.

Its hard to read him sometimes if he was serious.

Fine with me. There is no alternative since the dumb butts have stopped the wall at every turn. The South of the Border Gangs HAVE to be stopped. They are wicked.

“What ELSE would he guard the southern border with? ...a jockstrap?”

No, a bunch of border patrol agents who, according to shows on TV, spend their time in foot races across the desert with illegal aliens, which is the most ridiculous thing in the world. (Not criticizing them, they’re doing the what they’re told to do.)

Trump the showman could really shine if he deployed 10k Nat Gaurd. and 10k ICE.
Choppers flying around.
Tanks rolling.
ICE trucks everywhere.

Food trucks.
Hot dogs get your hot dogs here!

Road checks at every major road.

Trump has a special relationship with the Marines.

He can put them all on the border on a whim if he so desires.

Posse comitatus does NOT apply to the Marines.

Tanks, howitzers, heavy machine guns, helicopters, Warthogs...the media would go nuts and nobody would approach the border.

Have the Warthogs patrol the border at very low altitude at near max cruise speed....have them fly on the Mexican side of the border!

The Warthog at 300ft and 350mph would be a frightful thing. The two huge turbofans would make a sound that would rattle your bones at such low altitude.

The Warthog ain't pretty or fast, it is a scary thing that is sort of like a light tank that flies.

Shut down all trade with Mexico for 30 days if they do not act.

Forbid all remittances to Mexico for a year.

Place the country under martial law if need be and use the entire armed forces at that point.

And get the Corp of Engineers working on the wall...light a fire under their ass.

Have federal marshals arrest all public officials in sanctuary cites.

Trump has the power to do all of these things.

Mess with a genius-level, street-smart, Queens boy and buddy, you got problems.

I don't know about you but I'm pissed, it's time to stop phukin around with this.

Low-level Warthogs

Ready for more Democrat & RINO lies about US history. From 1916:

Wisconsin Guard protected Mexican border a century ago

While General "Blackjack" Pershing led the US Army across the Rio Grande in a "Punitive Expedition" against fleeing criminal Mexican cross border invaders

I sent a few letters to Trump regarding
this very proposal. I’m confident there
we’re many others voicing their concerns.

I remember when Bush sent troops to the border. They turned them into laborers who waved at the illegals as they crossed the border and walked by.

From same source in post-36:

"By the end of June {1916}, 60,000 National Guard troops were serving along the border, and by the end of July that number rose to about 112,000. They found themselves charged with guarding the border from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico."

Here's another photo (Brownsville) of the more than 100,000 troops Wilson sent to guard the border in 1916:
