Seal the boarder.

[JoJo]

 I'm so aggravated I could chew lead and spit bullets 

 Our President said that Mexico arrested 1,000 illegal’s crossing their southern boarder. WOW A BIG WOW . What about the thousands traveling north and those that are already their. They broke Mexico’s immigration laws but Mexico has not deported them. 
 President Trump said he will close the boarder and the elite are screaming about their avocado’s and how it will affect our economy. It will hurt Mexico’s economy more that ours besides slowing down if not stopping altogether drug traffic.
 Seal the boarder tight and in a few days Mexico will smell of rotten fruit and vegetables not counting over flowing port potty’s. Trucks will be backed up for miles.
 It will only take a few days for Mexico to do something positive.   

O/K Rant over

    According to a post on the Tree of Liberty forum, the Texas Governor is sending the Texas State Militia to the border to physically repel invaders.  This will include air units.  There will be armed militia members in Nogales and El Paso by this evening.  Three Regiments of the Texas State Guard has been alerted to deploy within 72 hours, and they're being issued a basic load of ammunition.

    It's about fucking time!

I've been saying all along that all it will take to stop the illegals was one or two volleys at them and they would go back and tell the others and that would stop them. I went onto a farmers land when I was a teen and he cut loose with a 22 and when I heard those things whiz by my head, I can tell you that I never went back onto that crazy guys land again.

   Well it looks like Trump's going to give Mexico another year before they must diminish the flow of illegals into our country.  It's sad that Trump is going to use border security as a re-election prop.  It looks like nothing will change until some illegal commits a mass murder, or a similar crime.

I know opinions vary on this and people scream 'Jade Helm' is coming to get you But;
Its not a bad idea to make sure we can seal a border from an invasion - just for sovereign safety.
If i lived in a landlocked state - it would make sense to be able to seal off the borders of my state as a contingency when comms may be difficult.  A drilled order, seal off the western border, etc.

pandemic or organizing a mass evac would be simple reasons - there are several others.
if it only involved state troops there is no issue with the Posse Comitatus Act.

When Mr. Trump first said, "I will close the border" I cringed. The reason being that this is what the opposition wants. The economic ripple affect would be the start of the next recession which would be like a stake driven through Dracula's chest for Trump's reelection.

Once a few adults in the room spoke to him and he came out with his new one year red-line - At first I supported it. Then I heard the red-line would be one year away I said, "WTF!"

I love the "tariff idea" but not one year from now. Three months or for you economists, one quarter would be more like it.

Jackalope once again nails it. Trump and his handlers are just setting up a fight one year hence as we lead up to the 2020 Presidential elections.

I disagree

I think if he closed the border, taxed every penny sent down there and high tax on all products coming north, things would change FAST!! And he could use that tax money to fund the wall
