ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a televised press conference that the thousands of people walking from Central America to the United States would not be allowed to cross. No, not under any circumstances.
And because he means it — and because this long trail of unruly, unconcerned-with-law people mean to cross — the end result, in the eyes of common sense, means a clash is coming. A physical clash. One of violence and bruisings and injuries and perhaps even bloodshed.
The only thing left to decide are the details: What kind of clash that will be, where that clash will occur, how many that clash will include.
President Donald Trump, for instance, has already stated that he doesn’t have a problem putting the military on the border to turn back this tide. And like Pompeo, Trump no doubt means it, too.
Here’s a bit of what Pompeo said from his State Department podium: “[America] has a message for those who are currently part of this caravan or any caravan which follows: You will not be successful at getting into the United States illegally no matter what. I repeat, the caravan will not cross our southern border under any circumstances.â€
What a godsend it’s Pompeo at the helm, not John Kerry, not Hillary Clinton.
