Government warnings can’t turn back migrants from Guatemala

SAN CRISTOBAL DE TOTONICAPAN, Guatemala — Dressed in a bright orange shirt, Francisco Gomez yells and uses his arms to vigorously direct the myriad souped-up buses at the crossroads known as Cuatro Caminos, or Four Roads.

This used-car salesman inspired a generation of migrants in New Jersey
This is the busy roadway one local called “the last adios” — where every day hundreds of Guatemalan migrants from the country’s impoverished western highlands begin their 1,000-mile-plus journey to the US border.

Despite recent moves by the US and Guatemalan governments to warn migrants against making the perilous trek, Cuatro Caminos — a muddy sprawl of lean-to barbecue-chicken shacks and wandering, emaciated dogs — has never been busier.

This is why force is necessary and why ultimately, it must be used.

First, "passive" force -- a border barrier.

Supplement that with "active" force -- U.S. military troops given the order to "stop them" from coming across.

Folks, it's not going to be done any other way.

Fish, kudos to you for speaking truth.
Sadly, several in TBR  are too squeamish to speak this way,
not wanting to be labeled "meanies."
Rome endured for 1300 years while we are a tad past 200.
To Roman credit, they were unconcerned about the meanie label !
