Pushing them towards Cali. This is going to be interesting.

| 2018-04-03 |
| [GoldenStateTimes] Texas Governor Greg Abbott took to Twitter on Sunday to let patriots know that... He has deployed the National Guard to curtail the so-called caravan of Central American Illegal Aliens heading for the U.S through Mexico. Pushing them towards Cali. This is going to be interesting. |

| #20 My main concern of sending The National Guard to the border is that the resource is deployed and unavailable for other purposes. |

| #19 He checked in his morning Izvestia: No schedule, as yet, for la Bestia. "See the ladies for lunch -- You'll be walking (a bunch!) -- And I'll leave on a light for the rest of ya." Sleep or coffee? I always choose wrong... dammit. |

| #18 still in Oaxaca oracion... "Señor, guide our footsteps and keep us From Trump and his gringos who'd bleep us, Preserving our wealth For your friends on the Gulf Once your children have reached Tamaulipas!" |

| #14 One well placed .50 Cal would do the trick. |

| #13 My father was in the military just before WWII. During that time he manned a 50 caliber machine gun on the Texas border. |

| #12 Move military forces to the border If I were me, I'd position forces just across the border. Create a buffer zone and totally freak out the Mexican govt. I'd even send a letter of apology to Mex Prez Nieto - Sorry for the intrusion, dude, but we care more about America than Mexico's illusory sovereignty. |

| #11 Figure out how to make it a cartel problem and it's gone in 10 minutes. |

| #10 Enough! This is a direct invasion with the tacit support of the government of Mexico. Move military forces to the border, close all commercial traffic to and from Mexico, impose the wire funds taxes mentioned above. Either we are a sovereign nation or we are finished as a first world power. Get some spine America, these people want to play confrontation so give them one. A goddam big one! |

| #9 How about an immediate and open-ended tax of, say, 25% on all cash transfers from the U.S. to Central American countries. That would get their attention. Before this caravan issue came up, I'd think something in the 5% range would be close to maximizing our take, as it doesn't give a massive incentive to try other avenues. With this fucking obnoxious caravan coning our way with help from Mexico, jack it to 25%. Like Mike says, make it hurt. |

| #8 How about an immediate and open-ended tax of, say, 25% on all cash transfers from the U.S. to Central American countries. That would get their attention. Wouldn't be enough bank vault space to handle that level of deposit. |

| #6 Bill the backers? They're funding an invasion; execute them. |

| #5 #2 Cut all trade w/Mexico. Close the bridges. Nafta goes away, too. Build the wall. Posted by: Omeger Gray6606 2018-04-03 01:24 ...THIS. Quietly give the Mexicans one - and only one - chance: the caravan stops, and stops within 24 hours...because if a single one of these people tries to set foot in the US, the border will be closed indefinitely and NAFTA with Mexico will be suspended. And if that doesn't work, deploy the gorram Army. Anybody who tries it then gets to live in tents in the desert until we vet every single one of them. Could take years. They're not going to understand unless it hurts. Mike |

| #4 Then send the bill for the operation to them and their backers. Joint action has consequences. |

| #3 Turn these people away and arrest the California based organizers. |

| #1 Last report I saw was dated March 31 and the "Caravan" was still in Oaxaca, a long way from the border without motorized transportation. Sometime soon they will have to decide on either Texas or California to avoid the mountains. |
