Protesters Take Control of Mexican Border Crossing With US:
Protests closed southbound traffic for hours at the San Diego-Tijuana San Ysidro port of entry, the busiest crossing along the 2,000-mile border, and halted southbound traffic at one of two crossings in Nogales, Arizona. Ref. Source 9l.
Our border is too open. A country without borders is not a country at all. Securing our southern border must be a priority. In truth though, this will not be easy. Using the military is an option but it will cut into their effectiveness. This isn't their job and while they are doing it they aren't training to do their real work, which is be strong enough to prevent wars and it that doesn't work to win a war once it starts.
We'll likely see more like that as Trump's executive order takes effect. We have been letting whatever happen across our border and it needs to stop.
