On the Border with Pershing.

Trump has announced his plan for stopping the Mexican invasion force at the border: 5,000 troops, denial of asylum status (they can spend years fighting that in court) and lots of barbed wire.

There's ample precedent for this.

We'd once again like to point out that when the Great War began, almost the entire US Army and National Guard was deployed on the southern border.

In fact when Poncho Villa attacked Columbus New Mexico, the 13th Infantry kicked his ass and chased him back into Mexico where they kicked his ass again.

Merkel Comes out of the Bunker

What do trans-nationalists do when they're on the verge of defeat? They call a meeting of other trans-nationalists, of course!

Says Hotair:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, struggling to avert a crisis within her coalition on migrant policy, is trying to set up a meeting of some EU states to discuss the issue before a leaders summit on June 28-29, a German newspaper reported on Sunday.

Basically Merkel's hoping to get countries like Greece to take more illegal migrants. Given that the Krauts underwrite the Greek economy, doesn't Athens pretty much have to do what Berlin says?

Mass illegal migration is deeply unpopular in Germany, so Merkel arranges to meet with like minded people in hopes she can turn things around.

Of course German rulers have a history of deluding themselves at the end:
