That’s a bit overdoing it but does it send a message? Shooting a few would send a bigger message but counterproductive. We’d be like that Va. Gov.

There were similar stories - complete with pictures and youtube - of this happening last November as the border crisis was underway.

It turned out to be a bogus nothing burger.

Just sayin’.

A couple is all it would take. If it did happen, at least they’d be able to see a visible line in the sand.

Uh, they are facing heavily armed smugglers from the various mafias who control Northern Mexico (one of them refers to itself as the “goberment” so you shouldn’t think I’m leaving anyone out).

The only thing those SOBs understand IS force. The current situation on the border is the result of decades of hands off treatment leading them to lose any fear of U.S. law enforcement. Once they see real military equipment pointed at them they might think that through.

The downside is that the Americans on the border will be caught up in this if the BP starts going after some guy in a pick up because he fits the profile. That will generate citizen resistance. BP needs to focus on the real threat coming from across the border. Considering that the Mexican President just said he’s not gonna bother trying to go after the leaders of the mafias anymore, that threat is about to go ballistic.

Even blasting a cactus or two apart would give the illegals an idea of what a big round like that would do to them. But what would Nancy say?!

Infanticide and maintaining our national sovereignty are two separate things

A small example of what should have happened on Sept 12, 2001 if we had had a patriot for President.

Instead we had a Bush.

No, it isn't. It should've happened when Paul Ryan wasn't playing nice with Deplorable priorities. It's an emergency and an organized invasion of the US. The President has those powers so that a feckless Legislature or an over-zealous military can't improperly protect and defend the US.

Where are your priorities? Afghani women need to learn to read and write. (or whatever)

For anyone interested here is a complete list of Military Units
headed to the border to help. DoD now reports more than
7,000 troops will be tasked to support the Department of
Homeland Security. It is worth looking at.

Here’s the list of military units headed to the border>

Reminds me of attending a conference of the IACP (International Chiefs of Police) in Houston, TX back in the 80's.

One of the countless vendors at the conference was showcasing their armored car with a single 50 caliber machine gun in its turret. The armored car appeared to be a version of those used by British Troops with less fire power.

The narrated video highlighted "First Strike Capability" and I dropped my jaw at that..., until I remembered that many of the attendees were from 3rd world Nations dealing with populations under despotic leaders! At least we haven't seen such here (or have we?)

Shooting a few would send a bigger message but counterproductive.

Shooting a lot of them at once would send an unmistakable message and would be the most productive action we could take. Catching a group of armed smugglers and killing all of them is the gold standard of border control.

It will come to that eventually. The Cartels control northern Mexico and they are very heavily armed with substantial numbers of fighters. They have made considerable inroads toward control in Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Texas. Local authorities can take the bribes or risk assassination. They are not going to resist effectively.

It will require Military intervention to stop this.
