5,000 of the zombie hoard have left Mexico City and are now legging it toward our coveted American utopia with a cloud of needy Mexican flies in tow, but fear not for we needn't aim for the sombreros on these flesh bags as a humble leg shot will suffice.
An ADDITIONAL hoard of 2,000 are hot on their heels, so here is map for reference to note their proximity to the border.
On our side, 5,200 troops have been deployed to the border region as well as an additional 2,200 National Guard tasked to a support role for the border patrol. The present scuttlebutt flying around Camp Smith and Fort Drum is that the if the hoard breaks the 10,000 threshold, additional troops will be deployed.
Once they reach the border it's expected they'll hunker down to gather, recharge, marshall up and get ready to make their push into the promised land.
But where will they attempt the cross?
Considering their jump off point is Mexico City, they'll likely opt to take the shortest route to the border which you can see on the map is the southern tip of Texas and that leaves them 750km to go at the least. If they do opt for this route, great, because the Rio Grande is a natural river boundary we'll be able to cover more easily and a cinch for those who attempt bridge crossings.
The nearest ALTERNATE land route that would offer them a better shot at making it through would be the most western part of Texas although that's also double the distance and not very appealing to those in a ragged pair of Mexican Adidas.
