    One station said 7000 another 14k will be the final number when the Finnaly get here and are beating one the border entrance. Thoughts or guess on final count

    Those sound cannon things will compliment water cannons quite well.

    Looking at Video They had so many in a truck bed it was sagging and on the springs bump stops. The Mexican Government is now escorting them. That way they are not staying in their county. Maybe we could do the same and send them to Canada?

    Walking huh? Averaging 71 miles a day, looking clean and well fed. An army with supply trains can't do that well.

    Every time the show them they are hanging off truck's for dear life. Or are getting hand outs of bottle water and or is some poor mom and kids.

    There's no way they are walking 71 miles in a day while walking. Assuming they walk 12 hours a day, that's nearly a 6MPH pace maintained for 12 hours throughout the day. Not possible for anyone who isn't incredibly athletic and on a consistent diet. I'd venture to say that most people I know wouldn't even want to bike 71 miles in a day on a bike that is made for it.

    You are right Austin, even on a comfortable bike ridden by a fairly in shape person, a 71 mile ride in one day is not a day in the park. Especially day after day.

    Metallica’s first album would be an appropriate solution...

    Seriously, this should be seen as an invasion of a sovereign state. Do they all need to be dressed in uniform marching to be considered a threat? They are challenging us. Make an example of them IMO, or more will come.

    I would guess 22000 at the gate. Mostly mexican with only a few (7000 range of Hondurans). If they rush the gates no one could stop it not even the Army. No one would open fire on unarmed invaders.

    Fire trucks full of pepper spray, lrads a bunch of them. Remember these people will be tired and worn down. Lrad would have them on their knees begging to go home. Non lethal, but agonizing.

    Considering their numbers, if they try to force their way across, I would think, it would be considered an invasion which is considered a military act, that would in return be met with equal or greater military force. I hope those troops get self defense only, but if needed shoot to kill orders. As of right now they are just people looking for help. Once they try to force their way into the country illegally they cross 2 lines... 1 is the border obviously. The other is the line from people wanting help, to criminals in assembly of invasion.

    Just my opinion

    I believe Mexico offered them help.
