U.S. Military Sending Miles and Miles of Concertina Wire to SW Border
CNS News ^ | 10-30-2018 | Susan Jones

"By the end of this week, we will deploy over 5,200 soldiers to the Southwest Border," as part of Operation Faithful Patriot, Air Force Gen. Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy, head of the U.S. Northern Command, told a news conference on Monday.

"That is just the start of this operation. We'll continue to adjust the numbers and inform you of those."

The 5,200 active duty troops are in addition to the 2,092 National Guard troops deployed earlier this year. The soldiers will "harden the points of entry and address key gaps in areas around the points of entry."

Add some Claymores and a few landmines and you might just have something that works.

Absolutely right.

If no borders then no country. We know Japan, China, Iran and everywhere else demands strict border security and no entry without a good reason and proof of identity. Each is against people of other races (ask about black rights in China and Caucasian corporate board leadership in Japan or Jews and Christians observing religious beliefs and practices in Iran. Go ahead.)

Thst is actually very smart. Any injurjes are the redult of people trying to get through. If these criminals send children and women into the wire it is on them. Also place the wire one meter inside the border so any injury is the result of an illegal attempt at entry. I would backstop it with GIs and Leos in body armor with shields and cuffs to arrest those who get through. Only a last resort should offensive violence be used. CS and rubber bullets and any of those DAARPA non lethal creations. I’d also put in a call to the IDF for advisers.

Yeah, once it gets ahold of cloth it doesn’t let go. It shreds.

b-b-b-b-but I was told in high school only Trump and his white supremacist nationalists exclude freedom seeking immigrants.

You mean somewhere else enforces a border?

Yes! And sew land mines. Deploy Predator drones. Make it very clear ahead of time that anyone who tries to cross does so at his or her mortal peril.

What's that foreign language you're typing in your tagline and in your name slot?

Why don'tcha move out here and pay the gigantic gas and vehicle registration tax with annual automatic inflation adjustments with a referendum (Measure 6) about to be defeated by coastal Californians???

And still no highway improvements, with gobs more money on a dumb train that will still be slow and not run much of anywhere!!!

One of our local hospitals has quit taking maternity patients largely due to being over-run with anchor-baby deliveries and an ER clogged with foreign nationals here illegally.

Yet we must read your snide, snickering comments while stuck here in the tarnished "golden state" waiting for the next wave of the illegal invasion. No, we can't leave as we serve a large clientele as self-employed proprietors.

An appropriate response, but I can see a media frenzy swhen women and children placed at the head of the hoard are pushed forward into the barbed wire as a photo op. Trump, ICE and the US military will be portrayed as heartless beast or war criminals.

Just wait until one of them gets a boo-boo. CNN will carry it as Breaking News.

Wire is worthless unless you:

1. Mine/Boobytrap it
2. Provide Crew Served Weapons Overwatch

Those that are stupid enough to do the pushing the of “innocent” into the barbed wire will be easy targets for our guys to take out — many problems solved.

Screw this. We need 20,000 fully armed with orders to shoot the first time one steps across the border. We are being attacked and we are at war.
