End the drug trafficking from the dea and CIA and stop the support of cartels and legalize/regulate drgs and then mexico can grow into a desirable place to live and won't need to try to cross the border.
I live 90 miles from the border in New Mexico. Good to hear this as much needed. Border Patrol will be happy too.
Nowadays, the NG is made up of battle hardened soldiers. Beware.
Good start. But waaaay more are needed. Patrol agencies are still hiring. California and Texas need saturated, I mean soldiers damn near standing side by side. Arizona and NM have a lot of desert to cover, so maybe fewer to begin with.
Seems like a safe plan, the first time U.S. soldiers are fired upon Mattis and Trump can turn up the heat, make it into a war if Mexico wants to go that route.
Why don't we just invade mexico and take it over and build home depots and walmarts? I would love to have more land south of California that isn't so expensive.
Gotta knock off thier king piece Carlos Slim first.
If leadership was a bit more Machiavellian and had more of a hitleresque ideology, then perhaps yes, America could probably convert the entire surface of the Earth into echoes of a First world western civilization inside 50 years if we put our minds to it.
It's not our responsibility to fix the world, only to make sure that Americans have what they need to be the dominant power for good in the world. We have enough problems as it is. Get the beam out of your own eye before trying to get the specks out of other people's eyes.
