Plus this way the troops get medals and HURA points plus it makes the Cartels insecure ??
You don't have to make everything difficult!

What kind souls they are. I'd do no such thing. I'd just stand off and bomb the crap out of the island and everything on it. There ain't nothing there that has any business coming into my country. I wouldn't be in it for the glory - that's a fools errand and a pipe dream of the young. Instead, I'd just be in it to win it, and keep the riffraff out of the US.
I know, I'm weird and heartless... but I never asked those cartels, or any women and kids they've got with them, to invade my country anyhow. Maybe if enough body parts started clogging the Rio Grande, folks down south would stop sending their women and kids as an invasion force, so they wouldn't get caught up in that mess to begin with. Ditto for the Cartels - enough disassembled cartel members, and they'd get mighty insecure too.
That attitude might be why I'll never be president, but it's why I'll survive the apocalypse... just like cockroaches will.

I always wanted to stock the river with bull sharks and crocodiles. Mean ones. Salties. And I mean OVERSTOCK.
Then just post stations where the river is too shallow for dangerous wildlife.
