2,100 mostly unarmed Guard troops on border as Trump vows to send more to stop migrant caravan

[XenaLee]

This is why it was a big mistake to give females the right to vote.

Excuse me?   How dare you lump all females into the same P-hat!  Harrrumph!!!!

[Emjay]

@Emjay the reality is, Trump is putting 1,200 unarmed on the border and they have 14,000 coming at them.  The potential for our citizens to be harmed is there.  What is it going to take for the President and Congress to react?  When one of these guards is beaten?  When several hundred make it across the border and infiltrate our cities and rape or murder?  When we discover that a small group of ISIS made it in and publicly beheads someone??  The potential is there and it sure seems right now that NOTHING is being done other than letting the UN place these people somewhere.

To those that say that right now there is no way that we can become another country like Europe because we have different processes in place ... I say b.s...until we are told how our gov't is going to protect this country from this growing invasion.

Look @libertybele  You're an okay gal but I can't discuss this with you. You are immune to any kind of reason.  You demand that Trump tell you his plans, including Plan A, Plan B, and all other contingency plans even though you should know disclosing his plans to you would mean disclosing them to the enemy.  The enemy, by the way, is not the dumb tools who are being paid to do this dangerous and fruitless march but the evil forces behind them.

You want this problem to be solved while the people are still in another country.  I gotta say, you've kinda lost your mind on this and I wonder what you will say if and when it is resolved successfully without bloodshed.

Men (most men) will do what is necessary to protect the family, community, country. Females (most
females) will do that makes them feel good about themselves irregardless of the consequences to
family, community, country.

I am also tried of electing the cutest candidate instead of the best candidate.

Good thinking, @jpsb, and never, never put them on the Supreme Court.  All but one have been a disaster and the 'one' was only so so.

Although there are rare exceptions, Nikki Haley being one.

Well, I'm not "most females" then, I guess.   

[Sanguine]

Look @Sanguine I am well aware that it was hyperbole, but nothing compared to what the liberals and press would say if we so much as used pea shooters on the mob.

I was just pointing out that it was an ET, not an NT who says this.

And, the hell with what the left says about it!  Do the right thing.

Don't be an idiot, @jpsb, we have guns too.

@Emjay it seems that you are misconstruing what I'm saying, and  I will be the first to admit that I am very passionate about this issue and spent quite some time years ago trying to enlighten people and to get others to become passionate so we never got to this point.

Either Pres. Trump has a plan to reject these people and stop them from entering or he's going to allow these people (at least some of them) to enter.  It's as simple as that. IOW he's being tested as to what he's been saying he's going to do and what he actually does. So far ... he's agreed to an extent to allow them to enter through the processes of the UN. It's not like he needs to plan some covert operation for that and I expect him to reveal it. I would hope that you would give me more credit than that.

Again, I am NOT proposing bloodshed.  Absolutely not.  I believe I have always given Trump credit when due.  Since he was elected, I have been supportive and have wanted him to succeed.  But, I will not give him a free pass like so many others are willing to do, especially when it comes to the sovereignty of this country.

Well, what exactly are you proposing, if not bloodshed?  I mean, c'mon.  You have the first President in many years who's actually concerned about the illegal problem and it's a real concern, not just a ploy to be elected.  I hope you are not one of the people who blames Trump because there's no wall yet.  He's accomplished a great deal, but he cannot part the seas, cure cancer or raise a wall with a magic wand.

I feel passionately about this issue also but, so far, it hasn't driven me crazy.

[Right_in_Virginia]

The $$$ budgeted for the wall is to repair or replace the existing wall. No $$$ or future monies have been budgeted for additional wall.

Google is your friend @libertybele  Use and discover where the new wall is going up and what design was chosen.

Stop relying on others to spoon feed you.

Well, I'm not "most females" then, I guess.

There's not a single female on this forum that even remotely resembles that misogynistic stereotype.

I'll bet he doesn't have the courage to smear women to our faces.

His 'brave' comments attacking women are limited to his safe space at his computer.

@jpsb

I was going to address your stated contempt for women but you think Trump is cute, so maybe I get it.....

[musiclady]

Don't be an idiot, @jpsb, we have guns too.

@jpsb is a black duck with a lateral lisp.

I wouldn't pay any attention to his stupid posts disparaging women.

My guess is that toe to toe, you'd win any battle with him........... as would most of us females on this forum.

Clever, but no sale.  Libertybele said: "The $$$ budgeted for the wall is to repair or replace the existing wall. No $$$ or future monies have been budgeted for additional wall."  She didn't ask where it is going or what the design is.

Actually, they don't think well of themselves.

Men with self-confidence and real masculinity respect women.

Insecure ones smear us hiding at home behind their computers.

btw, I guess one could argue that Trump is prettier than Hillary, so that could explain his vote.....

That's pretty much true of all of us @musiclady .  I would never be as mean around someone who could actually slap me as I am on occasion on this forum

But, as a woman, I agree with him about women.  Only a fraction of us can be reasonable and pragmatic.

Speak for yourself.  I know a lot of rational women.

And I know (and have seen on forums such as this) a heck of a lot of completely irrational men.

Sounds exactly verbatim the attitude and mindset that existed among politicians, government and security alphabets after the Khobar Towers, the embassies in Tanzania and Kenya and USS Cole were bombed.

The enemy took full advantage of the silent non-existent reaction to actual declared intentions and took that as weakness so as to proceeded with the plan to train and use our own airliners as fuel-air missiles against civilian office towers.

Now, as before - we have the same stupid reaction in the face of declarations of invasion by foreign 'warriors' whose stated goals are to conquer, plunder and with video and pictures of American flag burners among the hordes of invaders carrying their own flags that are marching on us.

And you are all upset that we the people are demanding to know what the Commander In Chief plans to do about this army of invaders approaching us?  I suppose we would have expected you to say the same stupid shit if we had been wise enough to ask the President what he intended to do about Bin Laden after he declared war on us in 1997.

I think your mindset is just one more proof that we are too stupid and idiotic to survive what is being done to us, because all you people know to do is hide behind the empty hope of electing more politicians in office to save you.

[XenaLee]

OK......... that's what I was going to say...........
