If the US Military goes to the border to deny our soil to that ‘caravan’, should mine fields be emplaced to deny access?

Minefields are charted and secured. We could emplace signs: PELIGRO ! On the scene interpreters would explain the signs to non-Spanish speakers!

Why not? I'm all for the idea. I think that it would be more cost-effective and convenient in the long-term if we just shoot whoever attempts to cross until the wall gets put up but mines are a good second choice; an oldie but a goodie.

I dint say shoot, only to warn them of emplaced, deadly hazards if they cross the border.

CSM Charles Hayden warning is fine but if those warnings are not heeded they should be shot.

A minefield on what side of the border?
In Mexico? That would be a fairly awful idea as it would be basically invading our neighbor with our military and mining their territory against their will. Some folks might call that an act of war. Imagine our response if the Mexican military attempted to cross into San Diego and lay down a minefield.
Or we mine our own territory? Only slightly less awful. Just imagine in 10 months, when it’s not quite feasible to have an Army of translators and minefield minders handing out warnings. And little Timmy and his friends accidentally wander into a minefield.
What’s next, rows and rows of dug holes full of sh*t-tipped pungi sticks? Seriously though, I think minefields might be a bad idea.
