Their ninja-like tactics caught us completely off guard. I mean, we only had like, what, a month's knowledge that thousands of people were headed to us on foot? And step-by-step progress updates by both CNN and Fox News? I don't know how in that time frame we couldn't have come up with a better plan than 'gas 'em!'

Seriously, though, this is why Trump is a dangerous liability. He treats foreign policy like he treats women. As a guy with multiple ex-wives and allegedly millions paid to mistresses, that's not a good thing.

The gas and the caravan could have been avoided with a better relationship with Mexico. We could've handled it like we have other large migration groups in the past, with a mix of diplomacy and security. We talk to our southern allies, find somewhere for the people to go and then make sure they make it there. This isn't the first time America has had to deal with migration chunks. It's not like we used to shoot the rafts out from under the Cubans or play whack-a-mole with Mexicans coming out of tunnels.

This isn't Cleveland.

When did we get cheap and lazy about this?

Agreed.
