If there’s a thousand people coming up to cross the border any way they can, it’s time to put a dozen Army and Marine divisions onto the border to put a stop to it.
Enough of the foreign adventures: bring those troops home and use them here to protect their country. I’d be willing to bet those troops would like to protect their own people a lot better than trying to start democracies in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. And it won’t cost as much to operate bases in the American Southwest than it does to operate bases in Afghanistan.
If this first assault on our border is successful, it’ll happen again and again. And if there’s to be no wall, we need another option. ICE and Customs and Border Protection will be spread to thin, and they’re likely to be outnumbered and outgunned.
Time to take border protection to a new level, and quickly. The caravan that’s traveling through Mexico (the Mexicans are doing nothing to stop it) is said to be made up of people from Central America—Honduras in particular.
The law says that troops cannot be used to assist local law enforcement, but border protection is a federal matter, which makes it federal jurisdiction. The military can be used to protect the United States. Before control of the border is lost, those troops need to be in place.
Make haste.
