Yup, that’s exactly what they’ll do. Typical lying media.

It still pisses me off that MY tax dollars are going to be spent feeding and housing (tenting) these illegal squatters!!
...
Many will leave the camps and go home.

Deterrence will be threat of violence if they try to cross, and the wait won’t be worth it.

Give each a Benjamin to go home.

Actually in defense of our amazing POTUS, that policy has been in effect. You can find articles on it from 2014. So if the Libs start screaming, rocks are not dangerous, etc.,,point them to something like this:

From the Obama era.

I’m a ConservaTarian...which is a Libertarian without all of the dope smoking. ;)

I, too, was not on board from the very start, BUT - I have been saying for DECADES that America NEEDS to be run like a Business!

All of our Founding Fathers were ‘Businessmen’ in one form or another...Farmers, Lawyers, Inventors, Merchants, Physicians, Authors, Ministers, Military Men, etc.

President Trump is the right man in the right place at the right time. There is no doubt in my Military Mind about that! MAGA! :)

I am sure the president is aware of the optics. We may be surprised what a good plan is in place.

I also wonder how long people will be in those tents. And what if some idiot sets a tent on fire?

I’m glad I don’t have to figure this out. I wish our Congress would make some reasonable law instead of leaving it to Trump to figure out and then complaining afterwards that he did it wrong.

“I hope that means today” (ending catch and release).

The President mentioned in today’s address, the it went into effect a few days ago.

“If they throw rocks it will be considered a weapon.”

Rules of Engagement, straight from the President’s mouth.

Probably best to have well trained snipers pick a few shots if needed, rather than every Joe having weapons free, but it is great to have top cover like that, if you do need to get yourself or your buddy out of a tight spot.

The mob can’t easily drive soldiers from their positions under those rules. The troops will have the ability to hold their line.

“but if some mother with a child gets hit”

What the Israelis have done with a mob on their border, is have expert sniper teams pick the shots, when they need to return fire. The sniper teams can be on the radio with an officer who is managing the situation, and with Military Intelligence, who can identify individuals in the crowd through facial recognition and access to huge databases.

Intelligence assets can infiltrate the caravan and start identifying the dangerous individuals now, for close monitoring/tracking at the border. Give them each a threat score, so the call can be made quickly. If a known bad guy/ringleader throws a rock, one strike and he’s out. If an unknown fourteen year old follows a bad example, maybe you give him a warning shot or wing him instead.

You won’t have to shoot very many, before none dare pick up a rock. Maybe just tell them over a loudspeaker.

It isn’t just that the countries they come from are poor. The countries are chaotic, because they are overpopulated and the economies and the resources can’t keep up with the ever-expanding numbers of people. The result is gangs and other crime and everyone running for the border.

Mexico should be stopping this. They are letting these people proceed on buses and on foot. The trade deal needs to be pulled. More evidence Mexico is not a real nation just a failed narco cluster of losers

Laughing my a** off as I watched Jake Tapper on CNN: They decided to carry the President’s 45-minute speech on immigration & border security because, according to Jake: “We were told by the WH that he was going to deliver a plan. We were lied to by this WH, as they often do, and he basically delivered the same speech that he gives at his rallies!” Meanwhile, I’m GIDDY because A) He gave a speech carried by all networks and seen all over the world, including airports, and, B) We’re 5 days away from the Midterms! LOL at Fake Jake!

The dims have long thought that immigration was a winning issue for them. They think they can force Trump to compromise in that “no new taxes” kind of way, which would hurt GOP voter turnout. Looks like they were wrong.

Israel does it right. We should learn from them. I don’t look for people to be hurt, but I definitely don’t want our protectors — soldiers, border patrol, etc. — to be hurt and not be able to defend themselves.
