    Earlier and in the more 'normal' way of making it to the US and all the freebires...

    this 'caravan' of illegals made the run across in May of 2017. Nothing new other than the supposed organization backing the move. As noted earlier, I've yet to see any logistics tail for this group.

    For the record, we have about a Division worth of illegals cross the border each year - sometimes more, sometimes less.

    It isn't a matter of a wall, but stopping all forms of welfare, public funding and other tax supported giveaways that make coming here seem attractive. End one and I believe that the other will stop or at least be reduced to a trickle.

    A caravan of more than 1,500 familes including men, women, and children are making their way from Central America through Mexico and are expected to arrive at the US-Mexico Border in the coming days to request refugee status.

    Known as the Viacrucis Migrante 2018, the caravan began on March 25 in the state of Chiapas and is expected to reach Tijuana within a month where the members of the group are expected to request refugee status from the U.S. government. The caravan is organized by the immigrant rights group Pueblo Sin Fronteras who have been posting updates about the caravan’s journey through Mexico.

    Except that the flag in the photo is not the Mexican flag and why would a reported need a helmet and body armor to cover this?

    I think the globalist are behind this. They know this will be stopped at the boarder and they want the Trump administration to be the fall guy when the trouble starts! The globalist, liberals, socialists will stop at nothing to make President Trump appears as eval and heartless. They do not care if some die or are killed, as long as it meets their agenda!

    I see this as justification for the president to use the Pentigon to build the wall and militarize the SW border.

    So what do you suggest to stop this? Those folks will get here before they build the wall. How do you discourage an invasion? How do you turn back the herd? If SHTF, migration will be happening so what do you do? What do you think America should do to stop this without violence?

    Why without Violence??? They are INVADING our Country.... They are breaking our LAWs...... You stop them, BEFORE they Cross the Boarder, and leave the ISSUE with the Mexicans.... and you do it with the ARMY.... What do you think the Chinese & Russians are doing on the North Korean Boarder... They BOTH Stationed Troops along the common WHOLE Boarder....

    This is a continuation of the Soft Invasion of our country that's been going on for years. Only this one is more public, more "in our faces" than other such movements. As long as this "caravan" remains south of our border, it is Mexico's problem. To paraphrase one of the Union colonels in the Battle of Gettysburg, the line must hold; it must not yield.

    Just to inform, I have worked with many Hispanics legal but most illegal they have slightly more propensity to be a criminal for a number of reasons lack of is basically the reason it does not help that their language and dialect barrier even amongst their pier group. All that aside we need to know who and their background we cannot allow a continuing threat like a serial rapist or murderer if they are one to roam our country. Committing a crime breeds fear and if they are confronted by police or a citizen they may lash out thinking they need to escape or they will be found out. Drunk running from police have killed too many people we have enough of that by citizens but at least they have to stand trial not be allowed to escape justice.

    All of the politicians have allowed this to fester because they got votes and they pandered to them and initiated and opened government programs to them giving them status all the while groups like Raza Unita and LULAC most of these are socialist in their underpinning there are 21 Hispanic groups and a few legal organizations that spearhead their opinion as fact falsely telling us that these people are innocent victims helpless and need our help well I have not found any truth in that, they are just as likely to be intelligent have basic work skills our children avoid like the plague and just a likely to be a nut a threat or dangerous, Many of these people were soldiers in wars in drug cartels or running away from the law, We just don't know that and we want to protect our children ( sarcasm) so we need to fix this build a wall and extreme vet any person that crosses our boarder 11 million people cannot all be angels I am almost sure that some are pimps, whores, murderers, rapists and dopers, drunks drunk drivers and no drivers just like the @holes here. One other thing why in the hell do they insist on pushing their cart on the wrong side of the isle in a store or walk the whole family 10 abreast down the isle and please try parking between the lines once and a while just to spice things up.

    From the responses, I see that some of you would be okay with violence and troops stationed along the border. I said without violence because we usually try to solve issues first without violence. If that report is true and that parade of people are truly headed for the border, no way can the border patrol stop them. There are too many. I think they would have to call up the national guard but would all border states do that? California is now a sanctuary state so I cannot see them trying to keep these folks out.

    Do you think if the government announced starting today any child born here to a non-citizen will not be granted citizenship. Stopping the anchor baby issue. Also, declaring any person that does not have valid ID, will not receive any benefits. We can do what Canada does. If you get hurt up there they treat you medically and send you back across the border. We need to make it unattractive so these folks may want to stay in Mexico or Central America.

    Non-violence hasn't worked since the first time it was tried more than a few years ago. Continuing a strategy that doesn't work and hasn't worked seem at the very best extremely silly and immature. Maturity seems to be able to learn from mistakes. How often must we bend over and invite another paddling before we take the paddle and use it ourselves?

    Border patrol? National Guard? Insufficient. An invading force is gathering, thus will commit an act of war with the first foot print over the border. Methinks dot mil has a place in this operation.

    We have a non-violent approach. It is called the legal immigration process.

    Except in this case, the Israeli's keep on stealing their land and pushing them into less and less space with the sea at their backs. Quite a bit different from our southern invaders.

    Different case, for sure. However, the method is worth considering.

    With these columns bearing down on us, there's just no way to vet the invaders before allowing them in. Simply stopping them is important, then get them on the list for legal entry.

    For certain, but had the laws been upheld in the past, there would be no border rush. This is an invasion, pure and simple.

    It's not these folks getting to the border that worries me.
    It's how many assets we are going to put in place there, all eyes are going to be watching the southern border (news, peeps, governments across the globe) and then some rogue Canadians are just going to waltz across the northern tier and capture Michigan, Wisconsin and probably Minnesota and Maine.

    :LOL:
    More likely that JinPing and Vlad would steam across the Bering Straights, charge thru the Yukon and take over the northern tier along with all of Canada. In other words, not bloody likely.
