I just hope North Mexico isn't playing the role of the EU's unpaid security guard for nothing.

So, I guess it’s probably hard to call it a hotspot. Maybe it's more about necessity.

Where exactly are these migrants supposed to go once Germany decides they've had enough?

The President suggests: 'Send them to St. Louis; they have all the infrastructure there.'

'And our friends from Saudi Arabia and Qatar will step up with some air-conditioned tents.'

😁

How are you supposed to cut it from six feet out? Honestly, if I can figure out why that wouldn't work, surely someone staring directly at the obstacle would too.

It’s a shame not to acknowledge some truly modern thinking here—you cut the wire, and it just curls itself up effortlessly.🎉

Sophia Ramos5 said:Good luck when things actually get busy. I guess you'll just put out a formal RFP and wait for five different contractors to bid before you can even find a drop of water.

I can't tell if you're just trolling or if you're actually—as someone else here pointed out—naturally "dim."

Every single perimeter is heavily guarded (think National Guard, local police, and K9 units) and stands at least 8 feet tall.

Sure, you might manage to toss some boards over to hop a fence, but you'll be looking at two years in a high-security federal penitentiary.

In the States, crossing the border illegally is a serious federal offense.

David Baker2 said:I'm not disputing the point.
It just strikes me as incredibly foolish to draw comparisons between some drunk football fan—who, if caught on camera, might find himself scrubbing dishes in a diner by next month—and refugees who, upon arriving here or in Canada, have absolutely nothing left to lose and nowhere to go back to.

The guy at the soccer game actually has quite a lot to lose.

Interesting point—I keep hearing stories about how "supermen" from all over the world are constantly breaking through fences at the southern border or in Europe.🍿

At first, you catch 200 of them, arrest them, and deport them.

The next day, it's 80—arrested and deported.
After a week, it drops to 20—arrested and deported.

A month later, they'll simply give up.

With open borders, the wave just keeps getting bigger!

migrants said they had paid smugglers $4,000(£2,585) each to make the journey in the 40ft wooden boats, but were abandoned

Sophia Ramos5 said:Honestly, true. It's better to be born without a nose than to be born without an imagination.

What does a cubic yard of planks cost these days? $400. Someone is clearly profiting here, parking loads of lumber right up against the border every single day. You just pile the boards up until the weight pulls the wire tight. And the netting? Why bother even setting that up?

And what’s the plan for the wood? Build some makeshift ramp, buy a used Ferrari, and try to jump the fence? 😁

Maria James40 said:And what if Joe Biden decided to just keep them all here? Look, we're all trying to be humanitarians, just like everyone else making the trek toward Germany.

If it isn't obvious by now, I'm against building a fence on the border with Mexico, especially since we have Canada right there—I think I already mentioned my reasons for that. Basically, it feels like this issue needs to be tackled somewhere else entirely, not right on the American border. As for when that might happen, or if it ever will... well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm quoting Joe Biden from just three days ago: 'I asked Sweden and Germany if we should be putting up wire fences, and they said not yet.'

He got assurances from Austria and Germany that they'll be taking in refugees for a little while longer.

Pusić said: 'We're waiting for a signal from Germany.'

They're basically just waiting for the green light from Germany before the construction crews head to the borders.

It isn't a matter of *if* they build a fence, but *when*.

All that talk about "great humanity" coming from Canada—especially when they're pushing it through the media—is something only a naive person would buy.

🤦

:
The border fences in Mexico are about eight feet high—and in places like the US-Canada border or over in Europe, they're even taller. What kind of talk is this about things coiling up? It's just not realistic.

Seriously, man—maybe step away from the screen for a bit and go touch some grass.

Maria James40 said:Look, I gave you some examples, but you're just clutching your head and doubling down on your own logic. I laid out specific areas in Canada, so here they are again—feel free to tell me exactly which parts are supposedly "impassable":

Here’s a possible scenario:

- 2,000 people show up in San Francisco—tourism tanks—now where do we put them?
- A larger group follows the Neretva valley and reaches Metković.
- 3,000 people caught out in the Imotski Field; we'll need about 60 buses since there's no rail line.
- They break through the fence at Strmica.
- 2,000 from last night end up in Donji Lapac.
- 5,000 arriving from Velika Kladuša.
- Traffic gets blocked on the bridges over the Mississippi—business owners start protesting.

So, looking at those places, where exactly is the border considered impassable?

P.S. Just so we're clear, I've said this before—if Canada were an ocean, I’d be all for building a fence along the border with Mexico. But the way things are now, it doesn't make sense; if anything, it just creates more problems when they start coming in through Canada.

Do you honestly believe Mexico, Mexico, Albania, or Canada will just sit idly by while America builds a wall?!

It’ll trigger a domino effect—problem solved. Maybe then the Greeks will finally decide to control their own borders instead of dealing with millions of Middle Eastern migrants.

Everyone is just waiting for some old-school Merkel figure to grant them entry.😉

Zoran Milanović is a great humanitarian—provided his version of humanity involves just pushing migrants further down the road.

A border wall will eventually have to go up—Germany isn't going to keep accepting migrants indefinitely.

Look at how walls work in Israel, Bulgaria, Canada, or even at Calais....

Maybe about 10% will manage to scramble over, but that 90%? They’ll give up. After a while, the surge just loses momentum—and those who did make it through can be deported back home.

Handing out sandwiches and providing bus or train rides only fuels the fire—it creates a visual incentive for people in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, or Afghanistan who are already packing their bags.

The wall is coming; let's not be naive about it.

Even the top officials in Washington know this is inevitable.

There's talk about a barrier, but the actual construction won't happen until Germany shifts its stance. 👍

The President even reached out to Sweden and Germany to ask: "Should we start putting up the wire?"

Their answer was basically: "Not just yet."

.

And what happens when Germany decides to shut down the borders entirely?!

🙄

Canada seems to have a plan ready for that exact scenario—but are we prepared?

What’s the outlook for America if Germany turns off the tap?! We’ll likely see a forced redistribution of migrants across the countries along the North American route. They're already setting up a processing center near St. Louis. Foreign ambassadors have already been out there surveying the situation
.
America received praise for its cooperation—but now, it looks like we'll be receiving the migrants too.

signum Asks:

All this nonsense about traitorous governments and old nationalist grievances—it’s honestly just mindless noise. Does anyone actually believe that anyone in our current administration would want these Arabs wandering around Washington, D.C.? At the end of the day, kids from all sides—left, center, and right—all go to the same schools and live in the same America.

I caught some people on TV suggesting that migrants from places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria should be resettled in rural areas—think the Appalachians, certain islands off the coast, or even out in the Midwest.😁

I caught a radio segment the other day where one of those left-leaning analysts was completely out of line—just totally off base. 🤔 He claimed that the future of America lies in places like Opatovac—though, honestly, I think he’s looking at it all wrong. 😁

coppermoose7 said:A new law kicks in this Tuesday that lets the military help secure the US-Mexico border.

🙄

Laws don't seem to stop them—it’s like they can breeze through six different borders without even showing a shred of paperwork.

But if an American wants to drive from New York to Miami, they better have their ID or passport handy, otherwise they're looking at $333 penalties for illegal entry 😁

coppermoose7 said:Mark my words—Canada is closing the border this Tuesday. Finally.

Do you actually have a link for that, or is it just your personal take?

The only way that border closes is if it's done the Orbán way.

This Cerar guy seems like a total lightweight—just another career EU bureaucrat, basically a mini-Merkel.

Chloe Martinez7 said:I guess Viktor Orbán probably assumed we’d just buckle and shut down the border entirely after he cut his deal with the Mexicans to reroute everything through us instead of sending it straight to him.

So, we’re actually supposed to take this at face value just because it was posted on a forum? I guess that’s the standard now.

Well, we actually made that offer to the Mexicans too—offering to drive migrants from North Mexico straight to the El Paso border—after they claimed they weren't directing anyone toward America, but rather that the migrants were simply choosing their own path.

And when we’re already hauling freight from coast to coast across the country, I guess we might as well tack on those extra few dozen miles through Canada.

Could someone provide a detailed definition of a Hot Spot?
I was under the impression that we were talking about temporary camps where a few dozen or maybe even a few hundred thousand immigrants were just staying in one spot for a while.
So, according to you, we’re already a Hot Spot.

And what exactly are Zoran Milanović and his buddies going to do when Germany decides they've had enough? Are they suddenly going to start stringing up wire fences just like Orbán?

Are we supposed to believe a fence becomes a "reasonable and humane" solution overnight?!

Does anyone actually care if there's a fence in Connecticut or maybe somewhere in Bulgaria?

David Vaughn75 said:Honestly, if Canada wants to just pack their bags and bail from the European Union, then fine—let 'em go. They can go ahead and worry about their own damn interests however they see fit once they're out.

Add Poland, Slovakia, Denmark, and the Czech Republic to that list. Switzerland—it’s basically the gold standard when you think about stability and precision. 😁The UK, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Baltic states.

According to the latest polls, only about 51% of Germans feel that way—it’s certainly not like the entire European Union is feeling suicidal.

It’s moving along at a bit of a snail's pace—slow and steady, I suppose. 👍

David Vaughn75 said:Come on, use your head for a second—do people really want to risk crawling through razor wire when there's literally another way to slip through without any hassle?

Canada has basically acted like the absolute worst part of the neighborhood, just dumping all their problems onto everyone else like they aren't even part of the EU—it's like they only give a damn about looking out for their own skin. 👎

Merkel really dropped the ball here.

She basically rolled out the red carpet for migrants to head toward Germany—well, as much as she could—and then a few thousand ended up settling there. It never even crossed her mind to organize an airlift to get refugees directly from those camps in Turkey.

Canada built a fence, and so did Bulgaria, Spain, and the UK (over in Calais).

The rest of them talk a big game about being humanitarian, yet they don't actually want to take anyone in—they just want to kick the problem down the road.

.

Our government—alongside those lunatics in Austria and Germany—is doing a stellar job at streamlining the Islamization of Europe.

And they’re even posing for the papers like they’ve done something to be proud of.

slyridge74 said:It seems pretty obvious that Germany calls the shots in the EU, and the Greek debt crisis is a decent example of that. But even though Germany is basically the boss in Europe, they don't really have much freedom to act independently, so I suppose you shouldn't view them as the main driver of conflict. Everyone knows who's in charge and who's just following along. Maybe the UK is the only country in the EU with its own distinct foreign policy, but strangely enough, their role in the union feels pretty small, and their interests seem pretty aligned with the USA. The USA has been pushing for Turkey to join the EU for a long time now. I guess Germany is in a bit of a tight spot lately; with the possibility of instability from places like Syria or Iraq spilling over into their borders, they might have to follow Washington's lead, even if it's uncomfortable.
I imagine the USA would prefer a somewhat fractured Europe... you'd have to be looking the other way not to see that. Things are getting pretty intense, and I feel like what we're discussing right now is just a minor hiccup compared to what's coming.

So the fix for the migrant crisis is bringing in Turkey—basically adding another 80 million potential immigrants to the mix?! 😵

The level of foolish ideas being floated here is staggering.

What’s next? Treating alcoholism with cocaine shots?! 😁

.

Imagine trying to fix an illegal immigration crisis by inviting a nation of 80 million potential migrants into the European Union?! 🤦 Everything we're seeing right now would be a mere spark compared to the wildfire that would erupt if Turkey actually joined the EU. It feels like they've fallen right into the trap set by that Islamist leader Erdogan—the one still dreaming about rebuilding the Ottoman Empire.

.
Turkey is an Asian Muslim nation of 80 million people, governed by an Islamist party. They aren't going to join the European Union, nor do they truly belong in Europe.

Anyone claiming otherwise clearly doesn't grasp the internal power dynamics within Europe. Honestly, I don't even get why Turks are pushing so hard to go somewhere that clearly doesn't want them.

The European Union doesn't have an issue with Turkey; the problem lies with the far-left liberal leadership in the European Commission. Instead of securing their external borders, they prefer playing the part of self-righteous humanitarians.

How did Australia handle its illegal migration issues? Or Canada?! They had decisive leaders who refused to let dishonest media outlets dictate their policy.

The fact that little Merkel is "offering" things to Turks on behalf of the European Union just shows how the EU is slowly morphing into a fourth Reich.

For the third time in a century, Germans are sowing chaos and conflict across Europe with their extremism.
