But yes, you are correct - they are an invading force, clearly contrary to our nation's government. However, since they carry/contain women and children it would be terribly difficult to sell the "invasionary force" concept to the general public here in the USA.
Which, I'm sure, is why Soros has made sure women and children are involved, and they are scheduled to arrive just before midterms.
What we are seeing is not a caravan of refugees or immigrants. They are a group of 7,000+, mostly young men, marching toward our southern border under a foreign flag. The flag of their origin country of Honduras. Who flees a country while waving their flag? This is clearly an invading force.
The question is, who organized and financed this? It's almost unthinkable that our intelligence agencies don't have a good handle on that answer. When Trump threatens to cut aid to these countries, I rest assured that he is basing this on our best intel on the situation. I say turn them around at the border with our NG and cut funding to the countries promoting this.
Bad Optics & Bad P.R. Posit: caravan arrives at the border. Hoard climbs fence/swims river. NG is confronting them to stop their progress. Stampede ensues. Now what? Fire hoses? Tear gas? Machine guns? Boy, if you thought to separate kids from their smugglers was bad, wait until blood flows...

I hear what you're saying. Over the past decade or more, I've read countless articles on the US developing all sorts of nonlethal means of crowd control/dispersion. Assuming these articles were more than just science fiction, this seems like the ideal use of such weapons. It's also bad optics to let a 7,000+ strong, third world invasion force overrun your borders. No doubt Democrats are about cream in their pants over this, and probably have their finger prints on this. Just one more reason to squash this in it's tracks.
Good thing then, that they will not arrive, given their current location, until well after the elections. Then when Trump looks like a meany in the press it will have no impact on the elections.
From the trash, they are not just provided transportation, but camping supplies they can throw away every day? Looks like a modern rich kid festival day after. Less $300+ dome tents in that shot.
Oh, they'll be here in time for the midterm elections.
And there will be violence on the border for Rachel Maddow to lie about.
only problem with "pieces" in a wall is, gaps and crevices make for climb-ability. Need a solid, smooth face.
Unless we want to go full-on barbarian, and leave the lids off, facing south (standing on end), full of the bodies of those who have tried to enter before...
Very good interview with a “US-Mexico border expert” on Scott Adam’s Periscope broadcast this morning.
According to him, purpose of “caravan” is safety in numbers until they reach Mexico City. Group will then disperse and sneak into US gradually. Allegedly 400,000 people have illegally entered the US already this year. Caravan is a drop in the bucket.
If we were serious about a wall we could build one wide enough to walk on and have a guard-shack every couple hundred yards. It could be manned by the standing military we already have. We could have the military build it as well (no inflated government contract). We could build one up north too. Think "Great Wall of China.
If you are going to place that many men on scene, you do not need a wall. Just radios. We already see every single person coming across in real time. We just need to commit the manpower to respond. Roll out the wire. Post the signs. Open fire.
I understand all that but a nice wall would make a great permanent base(s),great statement of commitment and be a handy thing to have in fifty or a hundred years. Can you imagine what it'll be like then ? High ground is always sought so let's build some now.
A genuine conundrum. How do you enforce the law, when the bad guys want you to rough them up for propaganda purposes?
Let's be clear, there are multiple actors here.
First, the Democrat Party leadership, that simply understands the demographics of the situation, and wants a dependent lower class to exploit. For votes, sure, but also economically, Rich folk like Disney want cheap labor, and pay massive bribes to get it.
And the votes are important. If, for example, a wave of legal immigrants from the former Iron Curtain countries moved here, there would be a rejection of the Socialist direction of The Party. That's how you lose elections. By importing a group that gets indoctrinated to vote for you, win, win.
To make that work you have to demonize the Republicans and since they own the Media, get full credit for any humanitarian feelings going around, and hide the implicit racism of the Klan Party acquiring a new batch of house servants.
They've done a Great job of that. Be honest, between the erasure of history in school to the point that many think Nazis are right wing, and full media support, they are figuratively, so far, getting away with murder.
Then there is the Big Business cheap labor lobby, and even small businesses often profit from cheaper than "fair" labor. And being smart, they bribe both sides, so many Republican & Democrat politicians really don't want to upset the apple cart.
And I'll skip international globalism, Chinese & Russian angles, the E.U., and the Hadley Climate Research Center. It's like bad spy novels. ( All true, but, seriously? )
And apparently the Honduras caravan is sponsored by Venezuela, Honduran loser politician/dictators, who are all tied together as Castro/Chavez allies. How much they get from other sources, and the coordination with the election? who knows? I just assume Hydra is involved, and move on.
So....
That's the players, the Mob will apply, peacefully, for asylum from the hells they come from, and any attempt to deny them instant gratification will be seen as racist warmongering Child killing Republican Intransigence... and Trump's stupidity, violent nature, and Nazi soul.
The setup is simple. There is nothing, no possibility of pleasing the mob. It's not possible to individually process them without them getting impatient and tearing down the place. This is Victim 101.
A genuine conundrum. How do you enforce the law, when the bad guys want you to rough them up for propaganda purposes? You post the signs that deadly force will be used to enforce the security of the border of this sovereign nation. Then you consistently terminate every trespasser without any fanfare. The area ten miles from the border becomes a no man's land with all infringements met with deadly force. All corpses are covered with lime and fluorescent dye and left where they lie. Absolutely no quarter or fanfare. Show me the last trespasser from AREA 51. I worked at AREA II. Have you ever heard of any trespassers from there? Military defense of our border should be absolute. It is not the Berlin wall used to imprison our population. It is to defend our nation.
