Isn't Mexico going to be forced to send troops to its side of the border?

Any country that has an unhinged, bellicose neighbor sending thousands of soldiers in their direction would be foolish not to assemble a similar force to meet them. Mexico's generals must be recommending a response.

Has anybody heard anything along these lines?

Thoughts?

1. I can't imagine they would. They aren't going to take 45s bait.

2. Maybe he plans to take a chunk of Mexico. Who knows? -nt

3. I've suggested that we are actually going to invade Mexico

Ya know - all that "spoils of war" stuff Trump talks...

Sounds absurd - but I'd believe anything at this point.

4. Yep. I can hear him now, blaming them for it, for not paying for a wall. -nt

5. Actually, Mexico has made offers to the folks in the caravan...

that seem better than trying to storm the US border. Perhaps we in the US cannot fully understand the refugees, but in my opinion, if I knew I was coming where I wasn't wanted, I'd certainly consider staying where I was. I don't think these folk understand that the US under Trump is far and away from the America they long to live in...what used to be. Time will tell, but I can't see how it ends well for many of them. From one dictator to another.
