Choice 1: Shoot bullets
Choice 2: Do nothing
Are you saying those are the only 2 choices available to Trump?
I think Trump has 3 possible courses of action here.
Option One: Close the border immediately to all traffic and to all individuals other than US passport holders. Then issue an executive order banning wire transfers of money to Mexico. When the Mexican elites feel us standing on their economic air hose, they’ll break this up.
Option Two: Deploy our high-tech crowd control devices that use microwaves and hypersonics and fire them from black helicopters over the mob. From the reported effects of these weapons they will disperse pretty quickly.
Option Three: Draw a perimeter line say 100 miles into Mexico then take out bridges and bomb crater any road north of that line.
The way the laws are written they have to be granted temporary asylum. Catch and detain is the only answer available now because of that. In order to detain temporary shelter must be provided and a tent city is the only answer at this point.
Sucks but it's the only answer for now other than catch and release. Is that what you want?
The US military should be building temporary tent city surrounded by barbed wire NOW! Make the living conditions a primitive as possible.

You know your Option Three is not on the table, even though it is by far the best one. As good as Trump is, I don’t think he’s got it in him to use OptionThree.
One and Two will definitely work. The question is, will Trump use them.
On your Option One, I would even go farther. Issue a proclamation: Starting November 1, the border is closed. If you are a US citizen in Mexico, you have to find your own way home after that date.
Believe it or not it look like a New York tag.
I would very much believe it. If only we could get a better view of the plate.
Looks like the load is over capacity for the truck.
They've been working on it and paying a lot toward that goal for many years.
These people deserve citizenship, but they don't make the news.
“Apparently there are long lines at a setup medical tent. Lots of blistered feet.”
I think I’ll hope for hundreds of infected feet. Would that be wrong? Should I not do that?
Why does it seem like you can see some of the license plate through the one shoe covering it?
Why aren’t these people applying for asylum in Mexico?
Who would want asylum in that hellhole?
Not our problem. Mexico is supposedly better than where they came from, isn't it?

Nothing at all that I have seen here looks like desperate refugees. Assuming that the photos and videos are legitimate this is a group of people who are clean, well dressed and groomed and have not missed a meal anytime recently. I don’t think there is a legitimate desperate refugee in the bunch and legitimate desperate refugees don’t march with a big, clean flag in perfect condition representing the country they are supposedly fleeing. Any group carrying a flag of another nation and approaching our border is an invading force. They should be treated as the foreign army which they appear to be and that does not mean interviewing them and allowing them to ask for asylum.
