I hope you’re correct about illegals, but my faith in government is all time low.
Many think Iran has nukes now.
Either way, the mood seems real contentious right about now.
Hopefully I’m wrong and worrying about nothing.

It is unlikely the illegals will be deported.
We need to place constitutional caps on middle class income (income per tax filer less than the highest federal salary excluding those of constitutional officers) and residential property taxation.
Campaigning for a constitutional residential property taxation cap could put New Jersey and New England electors into the Trump column.

The tank took a lot of hits to the forward section of the turret where the cannon and turret traverses mechanisms are located . A round in the cannon cooked off and did a bit of damage.

Perhaps the M2 gunner disabled the turret drive mechanism.
Or maybe the M2 gunner took out the sights and sensors and the tank driver did not know where the M2 was.
The tank was a moving target. I am guessing that the M2 was also moving. Hitting a moving target from a moving vehicle is not easy. A testament to the M2, the bushmaster auto-cannon and the gunner.
Here's a picture of the gun:
Here's a picture of the M2 crew.
The gun manufacturer is developing a 30mm version.
Nice turret ring shooting. TARGET, FIRE AND ADJUST
