Didn’t say it was optimal. But it will be an effective wall.

And no, they won’t happily slaughter the military as long as Trump is POTUS.

Red castle builds the wall. Green castle defends the border.

And White Castle supplies lunch?

YES!

The President is well within his authority to put the US borders to protect us from foreign invaders.

Congress and the courts can’t do shit about it.

And if they have a problem with that? They have the people, and the US military to answer to.

How many people in congress and the judiciary are willing to take up arms to dispute the US Constitution?

If Trump puts the military on the southern border, lots of little communities down there will greatly benefit as a side effect.

A Wall is a Wall is a Wall... We’ve got seven years to figure out ways to make Mexico pay for it.

No one is crying for illegals anymore... They're third world lowlifes brought in by democrats who are too lazy or vile to come up with ways to appeal to AMERICAN VOTERS.

Pulling in third world uneducated losers to prop up the power of corrupt white liberal 'elites' is disgusting. We should be shooting the liberal elites who came up with this plan... shooting them for treason... after a military trial for treason.

Assuming that depiction is accurate, I don’t accept the end of America as sovereign nation “because vagina.” They either respect our laws and sovereignty or suffer the consequences. We owe them nothing. If they get in the tactic will be validated and the floodgates will open.

Over a thousand people, mostly male, marching en masse toward this country through Mexico - we know they’re not really looking for “sanctuary” or they would simply stop in Mexico, which should be able to offer them all the sanctuary they require - sounds like an attempted invasion of the US to me - who more appropriate than the military to handle the situation.....

Posse comitatus does NOT apply to the Marines.

The Department of the Navy treats the Act as if it does. But that's really immaterial as the act deals with using the military for civil law enforcement. Using the military to repel foreign invaders has nothing to do with posse comitatus. It is the military doing what it is supposed to do...keeping foreign invaders out of our country.

Excellent. Get our troops out of Syria where they are illegally and put them on our border with Mexico where they belong.

A wall has to be patrolled and manned r it will be another Great Wall or Hadrian’s Wall, etc.

I'm thinking Trump's Wall would be appropriate.

As long as it doesn’t end up like Antonius Pius’s Wall or Offa’s Dike abandoned and forgotten soon after they were built.

No, they don’t. They look mainly like men.

Posse comitatus does NOT apply to the Marines.

Posse Comitatus only prevents the use of U.S. military forces being used to police American citizens. It does not restrict a president from deploying our military to repel foreign invasions.

Trump can put the Navy Seals on the Rio Grande, if he likes.

Trump has the power to do all of these things.

We thought he had the will too, but there Sessions is.

Who has odds that Mexico’s ‘disbanding the caravan’ was Trump-related?

I will give odds that the disbanding is fake.

He will have to declare Martial Law in a border buffer zone or they will have to catch and release, that is the law.
