You do realize they'll place the women and children front and center don't you? Can you imagine the field day they'd have utilizing the above tactics.Oh, and have the Army at the border with tear gas, rubber bullets, sonic weapons concertina wire and other non-lethal means to deter anyone from approaching.
The above is a piece from Foxnews.Yes, we need a secure border; but we also need a smart border.
After separating babies from parents along the U.S.-Mexico border and drawing ire and outrage across the country and around the world, now the president is threatening to use military action against men, women, and children who are fleeing a hopeless situation. America is better than this.
Through our policies, we can show that we are a nation of laws and a nation of grace.
The Central American countries receive more than $500 million in federal aid from the U.S. every year. Trump has not yet indicated how much of that federal aid will be cut.Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.

Yes, yes and yes.We already provide their respective countries with a substantial amount of $$$$. But the bigger question is the money actually making it to the citizens it's provided to help.

I look at all the pictures of the people in this wave of people coming. It appears 99% are young male adults. I don't think these males can force their women & children to charge a barrier, even if it is non-lethal. Something like sonic or tear gas can and will keep everyone away.You do realize they'll place the women and children front and center don't you? Can you imagine the field day they'd have utilizing the above tactics.
Option B is if they do put the women and children up front, consider letting them pass but as soon as it's males at the line, close the gates. Let the men return to their home countries and do their part to make their own country better.
I think if it's true what was reported by someone who has been there (middle easterners among the mix) that this has the potential to turn into something very dangerous.
What the heck???
It's meant to be dangerous and ugly. That is the entire purpose of this paid for migration. This amounts to be an American invasion of foreign citizens.
I'd have Mexico address the issue before it got to our border. Have them accept them into Mexico or return them but no matter what, they need to make sure they don't touch foot on our land. Repercussions if they don't do it.

A country without enforceable borders is no longer a country; it is simply land available to anyone who wishes to possess it. A group of 14,000 mostly young, male, "immigrants", marching under foreign flags, intent on entering this country by hook or by crook is an invasion force several regiments in size and must be dealt with accordingly. If that means deploying the military so be it.
Based on the available information these people are being paid for their actions; in my view this obviates any claim that they are simply seeking asylum.
