Do either of these two guys know how to use the M-240B? Must be nice to pose in front of a system - without ever having to use one to defend your fellow troops...

The Daily Kos twerps are going NUTZ over that photo, especially the bullet-proof vests. Yet, I don’t see any of THEM walking along the border with their iPhones in plain sight....

Some of the Kos Krazies comments:

“I’m impressed by the way they lovingly fondle that weapon.”

“This is how they treat refugee children. I’d ask if this is what they want in the schools, but...”

“I am dying here...just missing Palin in a big wig and some Walmart aviators.”

“And they would gladly use that middle tool on 47% of Americans. Fortunately, they aren’t the only ones with “tools”.
(???????)

“This rig is for what? Herds of rabid attack manatees? Great gray whales in shallow brackish water? Firefights with jetski cartels?”

“Notice the sensual loving touch both men are sharing on that big barrel and all those high powered bullets.”

“Keep the photo for future purposes. Machine guns for little kids. Feh.”

Expect the above memes to be replayed on The Daily Show tonight....

Indeed that is the question.

Unfortunately the picture of Gov Perry and Sean Hannity is nothing more than a ratings ploy (and an early shot at the Presidential race for Gov Perry).

There now is no reasonable way to stop this incursion militarily, unless we wish to be monsters in this situation, where it’s open season on the border, with free license to shoot to kill (as the OP implies). It just can’t happen for the simple fact that once a few get shot, and die crossing the border word will spread quickly among the illegals that suddenly the Americans are shooting to kill.

There are huge numbers massed at or near the border now. If such word spreads they will stop coming over of course (except for a brave/crazy few) but this will cause a huge, real humanitarian crisis there, right inside the border.

Then as conditions progressively worsen even further, the mass of people will become so desperate that they will flood across all at once, with us left with only two choices: mow them down like a scene from WWI, or let them all through which is where we are now, but they will be immensely more desperate and violent than they are now. And they won’t be children streaming across either but all of them.

Unfortunately when this whole mess started to unravel and no one took any serious steps to curb it, the die was cast. Now we pretty much are stuck with those who are here and continue to come here.

The only reasonable way out of this mess is to start securing the border in an organized technological fashion which starts with constructing a much more stable and complete fence than we have now. Also, deportations need to rise. This way, GRADUALLY the illegals will stop coming. Thus preventing a true humanitarian crisis which can only end badly. For everyone.

Good idea just let the Beast chug on through the border right to the Kansas City depot.

Its about time we got tough on the border. Lock it down and keep it locked.

‘REPORT: GUATEMALA-MEXICO BORDER WIDE OPEN’

CNN National Correspondent Gary Tuchman reported live from the Guatemala-Mexico border, where many of the illegal immigrants entering the United States being their journey, that passage from Guatemala into Mexico is “easy” because the border is unsecured.

There are some children but I saw a congressman on FOX this morning saying that they’re 80% males between 16 and 18 years old.

And using gang signs and having gang tatoos. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you. News articles abound of them tagging bathrooms with their gang signs while awaiting processing after detention.

I am so tire of photo ops from all parties. And it seems like now every news site is giant pictures you have to look at before reading the text.

At the rate you're suggesting, it'd be closer to World War Z. Given what they're doing to drag down the US and their willful disregard of the law, we would be doing them a favor.

The only reasonable way out of this mess...

That, as well as the general withdrawal of benefits towards illegals, an actual effort to enforce the law, and the termination of guest worker programs. That, and I'd be asking countries like Australia and Israel about how they handle illegal intrusion and fencing - friendly countries that deal with this kind of problem.

With all of this said, this definitely makes a case to revisit introduction of SB1070-like laws. Self-deportation works well as a disincentive towards illegal entry and/or presence.

The reporter doesn’t have to worry about Perry. He’s all boots and no cattle.

Many take the time to post articles on FR so that we are informed. Some readers respond with complaints, some grumble to themselves but in this case I chose to send an email. I would like to hope that I’m not the only one taking them to task over this issue.

League City is in my backyard and they need all the support they can get. What CNN does or doesn’t do with my email is obviously up to them. I did what I felt was possible within my abilities.

I had some left wing idiot tell me that “they’re kids, they’re all 4-5 years old” with a straight face!

I said, “ right, 300,000 5 year old kids left Central Am and walked all hundreds of miles north through Mexico”. Everyone in the group started laughing at the idiot.

Typical leftist, he called me a nasty name, accused me of watching Fox News and huffed off!
