Are these troops allowed to shoot? Or are they to be deployed feeding and diapering the offspring of the illegal criminal invaders like the Border Patrol? They should get NOTHING when they reach the border except a few shots fired at them. The minute you let them into the States for “asylum hearings”, they will disappear and thereby get what they want: getting on the Uncle Sugar gravy train.
Probably to feed them, sign them up for obamacare and free stuff.
if they would vote for republicans the dems would have a wall higher than the Vatican with gun turrets.
They’re there so the American people think the government is ‘doing something’ to stop illegal immigration. The reality is, just like before, they’re going to speed up and make it an orderly process for the BP to process the illegals in one by one.
Yeah, I’m cynical....and sick of the complete BS.
Construction battalions and riding point to counter any fire from cartel “soldiers” from the other side. The “border crashers” being swept on ahead of the MS-13 members seeking to slip in while the Border Patrol is thus occupied will come face to face with a new reality.
“Go ahead, boy, make my day.”
Dirty Harry, now that we need you, where are you?
If they aren’t going with a full combat load of ammo, why bother?
“Are these troops allowed to shoot? Or are they to be deployed feeding and diapering the offspring of the illegal criminal invaders”
They can only shoot in self defense. Under the Posse Comitatus law, the Military stays out of domestic law enforcement, and there is no declared Military conflict.
Mostly what the Military will be doing, is providing logistic support to Border Patrol, to free up their officers, who can legally arrest crossers. They will provide aviation and truck support for transportation, medical aid stations, and such. Some of that is surge capability to shift enough folks to where the caravans choose to hit the border.
There were two other significant missions specified by SecDef Shanahan: Installing 150 miles of concertina, and conducting mobile surveillance/reconnaissance. Apparently, they have some interesting new surveillance capability to contribute.
No, there wont be any shooting, unless there is an all out armed attack. From the swarm. That aint happening. Rocks maybe.
“Are these troops allowed to shoot? “ Probably warning shots over their heads, but who says how high over the heads of the invading horde? Has the angle been specified?
