We should be standing on the bank shooting at them, not saving them.

Getting the flow going again is why BOTH parties colluded to cheat Trump out.

The Bush Plan for North Mexico has been the highest priority BIPARTISAN policy of the last 30 years.

Until Trump broke through the Bush blockade at the RNC we were only allowed to vote for open borders/amnesty candidates.

Preventable...should have been issued a flotation vest. They're required on boats in Texas lakes.

The chain of command failed that soldier.

I'd prefer a more distant position.

I have a snowbird buddy down in Arizona that belongs to a sniper club.

They practice 1000-yard shooting.

Were just one coyote's head evaporate mysteriously, traffic would slow significantly.

What was it that he said about the alleged "whipping" of illegal invaders by mounted border patrol officers? "They'll pay for this!"

This is a terrible sad story. Condolences to the Texas National Guard Soldier’s family. The man heroically tried to rescue illegal immigrants crossing the river illegally at the invitation of Pres. Joe Biden and his posse.
The focus of our elected federal officials should be to protect American citizens. We should not suffer because of invasion politics.

More blood on Biden’s hands, and preventable if we had a wall.

“The chain of command failed that soldier.”

Exactly, all the way up to the Commander in Chief. The irony is that he was helping illegals break the law or the Constitution which he swore an oath.

His immediate Commander needs to be court martialed as well as his commander and so on for following an illegal order and for murdering his Soldier.

FOOLISH! Unless you actually have the means to accomplish the task. If you DIE while doing so, you DIDN’T.

NOT a hero, but a fool.

Let me remind you all to not bother to “flame” me, I NEVER read responses, so don’t waste your time and I really don’t care what you all think about what I say anyway.

For every case of alleged abuse by the Police, there are probably a thousand cases where they put their life in danger in order to save someone in trouble. Every time I see a demonstration to defund the police, I look at those young girls and think ... Your getting raped ... who you gonna call ... 911 .... sorry 911 has been defunded ... call the 311 help line and they might be able to schedule a social worker to come to your rescue ... in about a week.

The problem is, you know that if that were to happen they would lock you away forever or they would be calling for the death penalty and it would make the “undocumented migrants” ie. ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS into MORE of a MARTYR class than they already are.

"Exactly, all the way up to the Commander in Chief."

When they've not been federalized, the Commander-in-Chief of any state's National Guard is that state's governor. In this case, Greg Abbott.

Maybe some firehoses in the river to wash them back to the other side?
