I agree this has been put in motion to create bad press for the administration, however China needs the US market more than the US needs their products. Seems to me we could let China subsidize Mexico and south America, and spread themself thin, then impose hefty tariffs on their imports or cut off trade with them altogether, and at the same time, expose their actions/ involvement and demand they start accepting the migrants into China since they want to stick their noses in our region. Let the world see how they deal with the coordinated invasion, when the golden goose (the US) refuses to lay eggs for them any longer.
This kills 2 birds with one stone, forces China to either hurt themselves by taking the migrants, and losing the US market, ergo hurting/taxing their own economy, or back down and lose their position in the countries to our south. Either way, we keep the migrants out, and China ends up exposed and loses the anticipated advantage they hoped to gain, and turning the tables on the dems without damaging the administration's position on the illegal immigration into the u.s.
Am I just being a simpleton?

China isn't looking for a market south of the border. They want shipping routes, ports and minerals. It will also give China the ability to stage nonenforceable forces south of the US border to enforce economic agreements. All China needs to legitimize the use of forces is to have their actions sanctioned by the UN which isn't that difficult.
The southern border along the US is much less secure than the East/West coast because it's easier to gather and support force movement on land.

I get that, but the US market is basically rebuilding/sustaining China today. If they lose our market, a major source of income dries up, making them less able to expand.. no? Without our dollars, would they be able to persue their agenda south of our border with all they've already put in motion in their homeland? Add in having to take care of the "caravan" migrants because the world is now focused on them could they sustain being so spread out? Anyway, I get your point, making inroads into strategic ports south of the border may be more vital to deter in the short term.
I whole heartedly agree the southern border needs reinforcement as well.
