    It worked last time. We had no fentanyl come in since they sent soldiers to the border in other years.

    Don’t buy the hype of the headline. Ain’t no way 10,000 guy are going to suddenly stop fentanyl. It’s not like there wasn’t guys doing it before Trump-Vance. She played him a fool.

    It’s just a “Mission Accomplished” photo op.

    Oh how we have fallen in this second reign of King Donald the Sudden!

    First time around he was going to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it!!! Whatever happened to that wonderfully stupid idea of building a 2,000 mile long wall that grabbed the imaginations of the uniMAGAinative!

    Did they forget that Mexico was SUPPOSED to PAY for it?

    Now we will just have some 10,000 Mexican troops on our southern border, or about 5 per mile - being paid off by the cartels, as usual.

    Maybe they can waive to each other from ⅕ of a mile away, or about 3 football fields, as the cartels either walk right by them in the dark or probably most likely go through their industrial strength tunnels that run under the border. No, no, this will not do!

    WE NEED 10 MILLION MEXICAN SOLDIERS - ENOUGH TO HOLD HANDS - LIKE A (HUMAN) WALL MEXICO IS PAYING FOR!

    Hopefully they won't decide to invade! We wouldn't want to get invaded TWICE because much of this country was Mexico at one point. Maybe they want to Make Mexico Great Again?!?!

    OMG!!! What about the 10,000 man Canadian army on our northern border to keep the two dudes who bring fentanyl in through Canada across frozen lakes in the winter dressed as ice fishermen?!?! Will they be able to find them with so many potential lakes near the border?

    Trump, the master of BigDumbIdeasYouWillBelieve, NothingBurgerPhotoOpportunitiesYouWon'tRememberTomorrow and MisleadingWhiteBoardMarkerismsYouWillNeverForget!

    Mexico agrees to deploy 10,000 troops to US border in exchange for tariff pause | Fox News

    Mexico has agreed to deploy 10,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in exchange for a one-month delay on President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday.

    Sheinbaum made the announcement on social media Monday morning, roughly 12 hours before the tariffs were set to take effect. Trump and Sheinbaum spoke on Monday and agreed that Mexico will do more to combat drug trafficking into the U.S., and that the U.S. will step up efforts to block the flow of firearms into Mexico.

    So you are telling me that Trump is willing to tank US industry for 10,000 troops making $415 per month?

    So the entire trade war was to get leverage on $4M a month of support from Mexico?

    If you're going to militarize the border, you might as well take the solution directly to the problem, and invade Mexico.

    Not even kidding about the invasion thing. The Right always describes illegal immigration as "invasions," so, let's show them a real invasion looks like. I can think of a million reasons why this would be a good idea.
