The Invaders

Literally...shutdown the US Ports of Entry with Mexico to ALL traffic and pedestrians until Mexico gets a handle on this; Stop ALL foreign aid to Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico until they demonstrate where the hell our money is going we send them for building their economy and infrastructure. Post military assets along the entire border, with BP arrest teams, and ERO transportation. Set up family detention camps around the country to house anyone to enters illegally or claims asylum; fast track asylum and deportation hearings with onsite immigration judges; IMMEDIATELY remove from this country all frivolous asylum claims and deportation orders. 

WarOnGuns Correspondent Wynn A sends this with the notation that it is by retired Border Patrol Agent David Ward. Unfortunately, I cannot access the private Facebook group where this appears, so he copied it word-for-word.

I'd go a step further: I wouldn't let them set one foot on U.S. soil, would have the guards block them right at the border and treat every attempt to push past as a criminal assault that disqualifies them from asylum and assures deportation. They won't just get processed and released with an immigration hearing date they have no intention of keeping. And make sure that's communicated in no uncertain terms wellin advance of breach attempts.

I'd also take the expense for all this out of moneys the enabling governments siphon from this government. And start the conversation on why we give a dime without getting equal value in return.

I know some would go several steps further than that, but the reality is the appropriate response of stopping them on the Mexican side using an escalating continuum of force up to and including lethal would result in catastrophic unintended (and intended by some) consequences.

Unless you're ready to go to war now...
