The Mexican army chief revealed Monday that almost 15,000 troops had been dispatched to its border with the United States to stop migrants from crossing

The unit is made up of soldiers and National Guardsmen who have detained migrants who illegally attempt to enter the U.S.

Pressured by President Donald Trump to stop the flow of undocumented immigrants to the U.S., Mexico placed 6,000 soldiers at its southern border

Mexico agreed to reinforce its border with Guatemala after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Mexican goods if they do not reduce the migrant flow

The deal, struck on June 7, gives Mexico 45 days to show results

they might appeal to the U.N. to be recognized as a state of Mexico

All we would have to do would be to build a wall between Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. /s

are they there to keep people in Mexico or to keep us from escorting a few million OTMs to Mexico for transit home?

We in Texas are rather better armed than Bowie, Crockett & Co. (may God rest their souls). The Mexican Army would, at worst, cease to exist in San Antonio.

A10s, Apaches, and HumVees with mini-guns should be patrolling our border.


C’mon, man, stop being such a slacker. You forgot the automated quad-.50s in towers every mile along the border, and also the alligators in the moat adjoining The Wall.

Wouldn’t be necessary if we passed Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement from The List. We need The List, pronto!

The list goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population)
7) demonstrate English proficiency to acquire citizenship and pass civics test.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport.

Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.

They’re in it for the money. A drug mule, a rape and/or $2k and they’ll look the other way.

Get real, you can't serve MREs or change diapers with those things.
