#1 Mexican officials GIVE UP on stopping caravan – and it's WAY BIGGER NOW!

Suddenly, out of nowhere, just before an election. Evidently the impenetrable Mexican southern border is open to thru-traffic. This will likely not end well.

Close the US Embassy in Mexico City and bring everyone home. Close the border immediately and put the 82nd Airborne Division on alert.

#2 Tough decisions to make.
But he can mobilize 'preventative' forces now.
It will take more than 3 weeks.

#3 They are getting support from Mexican citizens along the way who probably feel bad for them

Free stuff for you, as long as you don't stay here. Seguir adelante, por favor...

Sounds like the many NIMBY Cadillac-Liberal 'social actions' we all know and detest.

#7 Trump says immigrant caravan is a national emergency with 'criminals and unknown Middle Easterners mixed in' and vows to cut foreign aid to countries that failed to stop it as sea of humanity grows to 7,000 and pushes deeper into Mexico

#9 How about an airlift to Germany? Fly them to Ramstein, open the gates, and send Mexico the bill. "Ola, Senora Merkel!"

#11 C'mon, nobody really expected the Mexican government to stop this caravan. Use the foreign aid we send to Mexico to build the wall.

#13 Has there ever been a clearer argument for a border wall?

Tax remittances by 75% or 90% or whatever the communists typically tax their people and use the money to build a wall. A big beautiful wall similar to the Great Wall of China. Make it a tourist attraction visible from space that can stand for centuries as a marker of Democrat shenanigans and their results.

The hefty tax will discourage folks from coming and in fact will encourage folks to leave and pay money to their family in person and as a bonus it'll take out a third of the Mexican economy in one shot for backstabbing the US again and again on this issue.

#16 Send Special Forces down to slice bus tires. When the tires are repaired slice them again. Drop caltrops on the roads. Slice again. These folks aren't walking and if they are forced to most will turn around.
