We need to pray this doesn’t present Kent State-like optics...
At this point I don't give a flying fadoodle about "optics." This is our country and it's well past time to assert our rights. We've militarily defended about every other border in the free world. If we don't defend our own we'd better stop pretending we're a sovereign nation.
Agreed. Good point.
Not to worry, we don't use M-1s anymore.
It’s like a micro Camp of the Saints dry run, a direct challenge to our national sovereignty. They have to be repelled, even at cost of killing them right there on the border in full view of the world’s media. But my guess is they will stop if they see Marines and armored vehicles on the other side of the fence instead of just empty desert or a few Border Patrol vehicles. They know the mass tactic is effective against outnumbered BP agents who will just try to catch them, but the odds aren’t so good against Marines who will shoot them if they rush the border. The fecklessness (and in some cases treachery) of past administrations seems to be bringing us to a point of forced choice.
Pulling in third world uneducated losers to prop up the power of corrupt white liberal 'elites' is disgusting. We should be shooting the liberal elites who came up with this plan... shooting them for treason... after a military trial for treason.
Won’t happen. This action will be closely
regulated. The military may not
even be armed, but placed to support
Border Patrol. Had a friend in the
New Mexico State Police who was on
rotation and was stationed along the
border. The National Guard soldier
in the same “foxhole” as he, was armed
with only a spotting scope.
I see the military working with ICE and ensuring that anyone ICE is forced to release is scooped up instead of being set free.
