I consider myself a pretty peaceable person however I'm having difficulting reconciling the leaders of nations scrambling to make accomodations to those who are making demands upon them to essentially let them have their way. For example this:
"We are not killers," said Stephany Lopez, 21, who traveld from El Salvador. "We just want to work for a few years, and after that he can deport us if he wants."
or this
On Friday, the governor of the Mexican state of Veracruz, Miguel Angel Yunes, said that his government would provide 100 buses to transport the migrants to Mexico City or “any other place they want” as early as Saturday.

HIDALGO, Texas — With the first of three Central American caravans of asylum seekers still more than 700 miles away from the U.S.-Mexico border, the military is beginning to fan out across southern Texas.
On Friday, soldiers reinforced the international bridge in Hidalgo, near McAllen, in the first wave of up to 15,000 troops that President Donald Trump has said will help secure the southern border. They are conducting drills and putting up chain-link fencing topped with barbed wire.
About 160 active-duty soldiers — mostly engineers and military police from various units — are now in the McAllen area, said U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Faith Laughter.
In total, including members of the National Guard who have been at the border since April, Trump's military deployment to the border could cost more than $200 million, according to The Washington Post.
Hidalgo resident Josemaria Vasquez said she strongly opposes Trump's decision.
"There's better use of that money,” Vasquez said. “This is not an invasion."I consider myself a pretty peaceable person however I'm having difficulting reconciling the leaders of nations scrambling to make accomodations to those who are making demands upon them to essentially let them have their way.

Would you like to see the troops safe here at our borders or on active duty overseas where they get killed?
A few years back, GOP dogma was that we needed to fight the terrorists "over there" so we're not fighting them here. We have 2,000 soldiers battling supposed terrorists in Syria where Al Queda and ISIS both have shop set up. We have 15,000 in the SW where neither ISIS or Al Queda have any sort of set up.

Armed force? LOL.
It's called sheer stupidity. Islamic fundamentalists blew up the USS Cole, our Embssies in Nairobi and Tanzania, the WTC, Pentagon, hijacked 4 planes etc...
But you're worried about migrants who are likely looking for jobs as nannies and gardeners who are almost completely unarmed.
We have 2,000 troops to fight the Islamic Fundamentalists; we're allocating 15,000 to fight the gardeners and nannies.
Those are the facts and they are not in dispute.
2000 troops fighting all Islam extremists? Have any link to that claim?
So what do gardeners and nannies do when they don't get their way?
The standoff at the riverbank followed a more violent confrontation that occurred on the bridge over the river Sunday night, when migrants threw rocks and used sticks against Mexico police. One migrant died from a head wound during the clash, but the cause was unclear.
The second group back at the Guatemalan frontier has been more unruly than the first that crossed. Guatemala’s Interior Ministry said Guatemalan police officers were injured when the migrant group broke through border barriers on Guatemala’s side of the bridge.
Mexico authorities said migrants attacked its agents with rocks, glass bottles and fireworks when they broke through a gate on the Mexican end but were pushed back, and some allegedly carried guns and firebombs.
Police halt 2nd migrant group trying to enter Mexico
Those nannies can be some pretty mean people when they don't have kids to take care of, can't they?
