So much for Mexico "stopping them", but you knew that wasn't going to happen, anyway.
So... what's to be done?
Are we about to let ANOTHER invasion/caravan in?
What message does this acquiescence convey to the rest of the hordes upon hordes of Central and South Americans wanting to flee to
el Norte?How large will THE NEXT invasion be?
This could become the defining moment of the Trump presidency -- something that makes Brett Kavanaugh pale by comparison.
You know as well as I do what needs to be done. Even if you won't say it publicly.
The border needs to be closed -- SEALED, at least temporarily, at normal "points of entry". No one crosses. No vehicles cross. No trains cross. NOTHING crosses -- until Mexico "gets the message".
The military (U.S. Army regulars and National Guard) needs to be dispatched, and ARMED with orders to prevent invaders from entering. And yes, that means women and children, too. Sorry if you don't like that.
The existing border needs some kind of "quick fix" barrier constructed at its weakest points, even if this amounts to only "barbed wire in the desert" for now. The East Germans built the Berlin Wall in a relatively short time in 1961. We can do the same, IF we want to.
Once again, the scenario of migrants rushing the border (which in this case was the Mexican border, but it will happen here, too) is literally taken from pages of Jean Raspail's prophetic 1973 novel, "The Camp of the Saints". You don't need to read the book, but you can learn about it here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Camp_of_the_SaintsOne of the most prescient books ever written.
We can stop this, if we wish.
Otherwise, we will suffer the fate depicted in Raspail's tale.
If Mr. Trump deals forcefully with this, the Pubbies will prevail on November 6.
If he backs down -- as I sense his "advisors" are recommending that he do -- the outcome will be much more in doubt.
What do YOU want done?
