Should the US declare war with Mexico over border crisis?

[j-mac]

Mexico has become a shell of a country where cartels run the country, aiding the invasion, and shipping in massive quantities of fentyal killing thousands of American's, and targeting our children....

So, the question is as the OP title asks, should we declare war on Mexico, not to invade them, but to use troops to seal our southern border...It is not unprecedented....

U.S. Declares War on Mexico

The U.S. Congress votes in favor of President James K. Polk’s request to declare war on Mexico in a dispute over Texas, kicking off the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).

"Though the Mexican government makes some efforts to help with the cartels, corruption within the Mexican government and law enforcement is rampant. We simply can't rely upon the Mexican government for the kind of actions needed to crush the cartels."

Further, with our social safety net, we can not survive as a nation with the flood that we are about to see come Tuesday when Title 42 is lifted....

Look to Milton: Open borders and the welfare state

A decade ago, Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman admonished the Wall Street Journal for its idée fixe on open-border immigration policy. "It's just obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state," he warned. This remark adds insight to the current debate over immigration...

I don't believe that a welfare system, or state if you will can exist in the face of open border policies. And furthermore, I believe that President Biden is in a clear dereliction of duty, if not outright collusion with Cartels to transfer as many Southern American migrants illegally into the United States as possible, ignoring laws, and the will, and safety of American's...

They depend on them

We could use a buffer zone. If it has to be taken by force and the border towns/cities depopulated and razed then so be it. Our security is much more important than they are.

Mexico, like China, is not our friend and should be treated harshly.

Also put the world (the Chi-Coms in particular) on notice that hence forth the Monroe Doctrine will be fully enforced.

YES…..and it’s not even debatable.

Any action by the US is already too late. The war is already over and the far left has won. The mid-terms have shown us that the followers of the Biden Kabal, such as Women, 18 to 20-year-olds, Blacks, and Browns, and don't forget the BLM and Antifa fanatics, followed by the huge number of illegals that will eventually be GIVEN the right to vote, cannot be overcome and it will only get worse.

One of the problems is the government is controlled by the cartels because they are helpless against them. I think instead of a war with Mexico, we need to have a war with the cartels if the government sides with us. That would mean air strikes on all their known facilities and even troops on the ground where they may lurk. It would be a virtual takeover of the country by US troops and if we can't beat them, weaken them enough where the government could once again handle the cartels with greater force.

Attacks on Mexico are a dumb ass idea and will never happen. All that needs to be done is CLOSE THE GD BORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But we are only interested in instigating a world war to CLOSE Ukraines…their border is far more important than ours….ask a Lib

In order to do that we are going to need the US Military to enforce it, no?

I'm more concerned about the drug problem in this country. Yes, that includes border crossers as they repay the drug lords for all their services. But they are sneaking in drugs at alarming rates because Mexico won't do anything about it, and neither will we. That's why our military needs to launch a war against the drug lords themselves.

 

[Nostra]

Don’t need to declare war, but we need to use the military at the border. There is no other word for this but “invasion”.

We could stop all drugs and illegal crossings using the military.

I would wholly support an attack on the Mexican drug lords but we both know that Biden doesn't have the balls to do it.

Rumor has it that Biden was considering doing something to stop the drugs from entering this country but Hunter had a chit fit. I need those drugs, dad.

Not before you expel every Mexican National from within our borders.

Nothing like having 20,000,000+ potential saboteurs or intelligence operatives or fifth-columnists in our midst, eh?

Roadmap:

1. run on an anti-Illegal-Alien platform as a big part of your campaign
2. take over the White House
3. take over the Senate
4. increase your lead in the House
5. issue an Edict of Explusion that includes penalties for violating and allows for bounty-hunting of violators
6. give 'em a year to divest and sell real estate and vehicles and businesses and other property at fair prices before they leave
7. loosen-up the stop-and-inquire regulations for law enforcement when they suspect someone of being an Illegal Aliens - profiling or no
8. round-up and deport each-and-every Illegal Alien found still to be here 367 days after the Edict is issued and force Mexico to pick up the tab
9. wait until you're certain that you've managed to flush most of 'em out before you start talking about war

 

[basquebromance]

yes

 

[ozro]

Yes, a war with mexico could be won. If we defeat Mexico they must take back California

 

[JWBooth]

The last time that was done it worked to train the Confederate officer corps. Sure, go ahead.

FJB and all the fools that are intentionally destroying this ONCE great country.

Since nary a soul, especially those on the left have commented on my fears as laid out I am going to proclaim that my views for our future are dead on. The crazy far-left loonies in this country are well on the way to a socialist, one-party system and we will never see another conservative government in power. FJB

Absolutely.

The Chi Comm fentanyl continuing to flow like wine across the border means the money train from the CCP also persists straight into DC politicians' pockets.

Mostly Dems.
