Jim Mattis is wanting to "back up" U.S. forces along the border between us and Mexico. He is wanting to do this to stop the illegal immagrants saying that they are going to come over illegally. Mattis is very hesistant in doing this because he doesn't want another Mexican Revolutionary War to start. His short-term objective is too lay wiring down and building barriers. His long-term goal is still yet to be determined. He also wants this to be a "training" for the soldiers. The Department of Justice said, "It's obviously a moral and ethical mission to support our border patrolmen."

Do you think it would be a good idea to make our troops back up? Why or why not?

Yes, because maybe it will help us make peace with Mexico. 

If you lived in Mexico would you want this to happen? Why or why not? 

It wouldn't matter to me.

  • Good topic choice! Be sure to capitalize key words in your title. Also be sure to work on your questions as your own answers are very short. You also commented on two days instead of three.

  • Maybe because it maight make more peace with Mexico but it could also make them think it is a good chance to attack us

     

    Yes because it might cause or for less fighting in the area

    • Yes it might cause them to attack us but there is a higher possiblity that it would bring peace between the U.S. and Mexico. I believe it would decrease the fighting because they are now able to come over freely without getting in trouble. 

  • Yes I think they should because we need to control them and not let them be harful. I would try and make myself wealthy in mexico and just live anormal life there and not go anywhere else.

    • We just want them to come in legally. That would stop a lot of the conflict between us and Mexico. 

  • I think they should stay and watch for the people that sneek in the U.S borders. I agree with you, it wouldn't matter that much to me.

    • I don't think they should back up all of their troops, but they most definately should move some of them because this could really help us out when it comes to being allies with Mexico.

  • I think it's a good idea because it could help with the peace situation in a way. It could help protect against conflicts that could arise. If I lived in Mexico, I think I would want this to happen for different saftey reasons. I would want to feel safe where I lived and this could potentially help.  

    • It would help bring peace between us, because the immagrants are coming in legally, instead of illegally. This would stop most conflict at the boarder. I would want to feel safe where I lived also.

  • I think it might be good because it would make peace with Mexico and make it less likely to have a war or any other conflicts.  If I lived in Mexico I would want this to happen because I would feel safer and more at peace in my home country.
