Is Trump bluffing about sending the military to the border?

I sure hope not. Logistically, how would be the best way to do this? That's a long border to defend. Airdrop the 82nd and 101st and send in the armor from Fort Hood? And shoot to kill when the invaders attempt to cross? Is this going to be the climax to the illegal immigration crisis? At what point does this illegal immigration become an invasion? 500 people? 5000 people? 50000 people? We're fixing to find out, I do believe.

My guess is they are sent to points of entry. Not actually lined up along the entire border, which your thread seems to imply.

I trust GEOTUS to handle this situation more than any other elected official. All he does is win. This will backfire on the Dems, bigly

Trump doesn't make threats like that, he makes promises

His Brand can't afford a bluff, BF. Book it, He's already discussed alternatives.

It may well be that the Illegals crash the Military barrier, and that will be the final impetus for an expedited EO to build the Wall. And throw any Illegal that steps out of line, back over it.

Yeah, I had in mind the lines and trenches occupied in WW1.

I could see that. He'll send a few troops, keep them hamstrung for optics, then hammer the dems about being invaded.

Pershing defended that border long ago.

They will erect some sort of barrier so there will not be a military confrontation. If they make it at all, since they are all having problems with stamina. I think few, if any, will make it all the way.

I think it has reached the point that we need to attack those countries and overthrow their government so these people can stay home!

Why do we have to wait for them to step out of line?

Keeping track of the caravan shouldn't be that hard and deploying troops wherever they are heading in advance of that rabble shouldn't be a problem.

The issue is the level of force to employ.

Which is why they are having to climb over the wall to get here. Need to throw them in jail like he did Hillary.

You know, 480...same reason we can't stop paying for poor people's Iphones or ADHD Disability Subsidies. Once people are 'in'...it's hard to take it away.

And even so, if the honest and hard-working people in those groups prove their metal, and become responsible and PRODUCTIVE *citizens*, I welcome it. If they are coming to Anchor a baby and lay up on Welfare...over they go.

Once a Wall is there...the whole dynamic changes. We can stand some damage, to get that Wall.

Trump will take this mid term surprise by the left and turn it into a way to fund the wall.

The man is a genius and a patriot.

Quote me on this.
