The caravan has now moved its attempts to storm the border to Arizona. The Washington Examiner reports:
Federal law enforcement and military troops are bracing for another potential storming of the border, this time in Arizona.
Active-duty troops joined Customs and Border Protection officers at southern Arizona’s Port of Nogales and DeConcini Crossing Wednesday for a “large-scale operational readiness exercise,” or a major training session.
Troops and border forces acted out all the steps necessary to secure the port in case hundreds or even a couple thousand people try to charge through the border crossing from Mexico, like the incident that took place between Tijuana and San Diego on Nov. 25.
“The exercises were training in preparation to deal with the potential of large crowds and assaultive behavior by caravan members,” CBP said in a statement outlining the training. “They included tactical operations with the use of role players and inert smoke to simulate real world environments. This training will allow our officers to respond tactically should a situation arise.”
This invasion is not over yet, but Border Patrol are confident that they can hold the line until the caravan gets deported from Mexico or voluntarily goes home.
Bottom line from a legal immigrant who understands America’s immigration laws:
“Every sovereign nation has the authority to determine who can be a citizen and who can be present within its borders. As the nation’s former chief law enforcement officer, and a citizen who believes in the rule of law, I cannot condone anyone coming into this country illegally. We are a nation of laws. When people fail to follow the law with impunity, it encourages further disobedience and breeds disrespect for the rule of law; and that is not America.” — Alberto Gonzales, the nation’s 80th Attorney General, speech to the Austin Economics Club.
WHERE THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR VIOLATIONS, WHAT BENEFIT IS ANY LAW?

we are being invaded by 200 to 300 illegals every day unlike san diego why? Mission Texas
Hold the line! We need that wall.
Moving the attack location is exactly why we need the Wall, the whole Wall! Be serious about keeping ILLEGALS out!
We have a working immigration system that has served us well for many decades, why allow these ILLEGALS to be rewarded for violating our laws? That punishes honest IMMIGRANTS and the U.S. TaxPayer! We don’t need more parasites on our welfare system!
TexRancher
Please explain how any of the illegals are parasites on the system when to even sign up for Social Services which you call Welfare you have to prove US Citizenship through a certified Birth Certificate which must be verified by the issuing state in 60 days or less.
Now the GAO, Government Accountability Office under Trump says these illegals add over $500 BILLION to the economy, over $20 BILLION to the Social Security funds which they can not reclaim, and over $40 BILLION to the IRS which only about 1% is reclaimed.
Now please explain to me how they are parasites. to the Welfare System.
they buy SS cards and get false ID . there are may ways to circumvent welfare its not fool proof
International law allows a country to protect itself from invasion. The US should give warning and then shoot the invaders,
Ernst
The words invasion in the Constitution explains clearly that it only applies to Armed or Armies, not civilians in any sense of the word.
Care to cite WHERE the constitution says that?
Your right there I believe that eventfully that there is going to be blood shed
Protect our borders & deliver the mail !! we seem to be fail on both counts..Call All of our troops back from foreign deployment & set them up to protect our borders. This does not need the approval of Congress or the Supreme Court .We have a very large contingent of American citizens that do not want to follow the rules of law.(sanctuary cities ,Treatment of ICE ,Federal Judges ,Demo’s & Rino’s in congress, governors ,and on &on).We have dissent from the FBI,DOJ, and a number of former elected and appointed officals , so why not for the military ?
Put the Democrat Welcome wagon between the hoard of invaders and our troops.
Just saw a video on YouTube about sending these criminal invaders back (Repatriation) to their native TURD WORLD SH!THOLES. So these people were given food, medical care, shelter, clothing, and food before and during the flights, all at US TAXPAYER EXPENSE. Absolutely sickening that the US supports so many people from other countries but never supports its own taxpayer citizens. Thanks to the DemonCRAP (socialist/communist) Party for wanting, supporting and encouraging these criminals to enter the US because they want their VOTES in exchange for the promise of freebies. And stupid people and illegals will ALWAYS vote for freebies, even if they have to do it illegally I have never gotten any free medical care or even a box lunch courtesy of the US government, even though I have paid for thousands of others to get them over the years.
Exactly what we have been saying for years. It’s all about the illegal votes and freebies at our expense. That’s what DemoSocialists do. They need to be stopped at all costs, “human” life or otherwise. My Grandparents migrated here legally and were thankful to learn ENGLISH and assimilate. Not these scum.
I’m getting tired of these migrants. If they break the law they are criminals and do not deserve any respect from the officers trying to enforce the law. If a mother is so stupid to put her child in harms way, it’s her problem if something goes wrong. These people were told from the beginning they were not going to be allowed into the United States & they should have turned around and gone back wherever they came from. They should have accepted what Mexico offered to them. The only reason they made the trek was to get on our welfare system. Taxpayers are done paying for illegals we want to help our Veterans, our elderly and our own children. Our children are falling behind because of our overcrowded schools. America needs to care for its own people.
Proven cases of Tuberculosis, Aids, Chicken Pox and lice, lots of lice. It’s a good thing they will getting free medical care once they breach the border. And they are going to breach the border with the help of liberal judges and the democratic Socialist party.
WHY NOT USE SOME LIVE BULLETS AND SCREAM……..REMEMBER THE ALAMO !!!
Lol.
Their continued actions show us they would not be good citizens here. Their arrogance is astounding as is their need to try and break the laws before they can even be accepted. We sure don’t need this type to be citizens here,send them to Cuba.
4Pip..those mercenaries don’t care to be good citizens. All they want is to live on the dole, through the Tax Payer Welfare system, that is governed and doled out by the LEFT. Remember that Cuba, beloved by the Left here, once sent boatloads of criminals here, they landed on our Florida beaches and they stayed on because of the Left. That is why the Left is loading the country, to take over with their vote.
Thank you, President Trump and Border Patrol for protecting the USA!!!
WE, ‘NEED TO HOLD THE LINE! THOSE ‘PEOPLE’, WERE ‘SENT HERE, ON PURPOSE’, PROBABLY BY SOROS & THE DEMOCRATS, TO OVERRUN OUR BORDERS! I, DO NOT HAVE ‘ANY SYMPATHY’, WITH INVADERS! WE, THE CITIZENS, MUST STOP THEM, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!
Ship to Europe. They apparently want them.
Keep these people on the other side of the border no matter what it takes
REPEL BOARDERS! Use such methods, including force as might be necessary.
Why weren’t there troops on the job where the people were going over the wall in Ca.?
When they climb the wall, the US should have water cannons and just shoot them off the wall. If they get closer to the wall than, say, 10 feet, the cannons can be fired through the openings in the wall as a warning. Water never hurt anybody and anyway they probably need a bath.
Mexico is a failed country itself. Spent one yr military is San Diego. Downtown bar area was controlled by illegals in 1969.
As President Trump said, If they get militant and hostel, use lethal force. Treat rocks as rifles!
The invaders already broke international law by not accepting asylum in Mexico and after militantly ravishing across Mexico to our border are now wanting to break the law again by violently busting our border and dismissing asylum altogether!
They should be shot on sight as militant combatants!
amen!
Time to help out with their “voluntary” decision to go home by sending live ammo whizzing by their ears.
Amen
Between their ears, too!
Why waste ammo? Aim straight. No passing by the ears. We have turned chicken too many times for the same type of things over and over.
Mexico must be held responsible because they allowed these people to traverse the entire length of their country without any serious effort to stop them. That is not the actions of a good neighbor or a friendly power. In fact I see it as a hostile act.
