President Donald Trump issued a dire warning to would-be immigrants making their way toward the U.S., warning that thousands of U.S. troops being sent to the border would return fire if caravan members throw rocks at them.
Trump has already ordered thousands of troops to the southern border, and was asked after delivering a fiery speech at the White House whether he envisioned them firing on the people making there way approaching the border on foot.
'I hope not. I hope not. It's the military. I hope there won't be that. But I will tell you this: Anybody throwing stones, rocks, like they did to Mexico and the Mexican military, Mexican police where they badly hurt police and soldiers of Mexico we will consider that a firearm,' Trump warned.

Yep, Trump never said we will open fire.
Total BS headline.
Depleted uranium best for larger creatures ...

Turn 'em on the media for best results.
Tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, batons, and plastic handcuffs for the invaders.
I love the fact that President Trump commands. Rushmore gonna get a new head.
He’s right, but the comment will likely have its greatest affect boosting Dim turnout (in my view) in places like Texas and in tight GOP incumbent races in California. I also thought that to be true about his 14th Amendment comments. The time to say it was after the mid-terms, not before. I think it too could maybe increase Dim anger more than GOP support and possibly boost Dim turnout over it as well. Being right is not enough in political campaigns; you have to win.
I’d rather he’d said we will open fire if they try to cross the border. Once they do, we never get rid of them.
Then those will be foolish women and children letting cowards that instigate violence hide behind them. If they loved America they would stand aside and point out the potential harm doers.
Sticks and stones can break our bones but THIS .223 is going through you, Pedro.
We get just as many in a week coming across one by one I don't want any of them. Period. Close down all immigration. Quadruple ICE and make them earn their pay by deporting every last illegal and visa overstays. End DACA. Forget the fines, put their employers in prison and shut down their companies. Rent to an illegal, same punishment as drug dealers only take the house. Not one illegal in school. Not one illegal getting government freebies. Clear them ALL out and then we'll discuss opening LEGAL immigration again.
the headline is a lie ... trump never said anything like that ...
Oh but there is ... give a rats patoot about media.

and armour piercing depleted uranium 30mm rounds are just a tad bigger, heavier and vastly improved ...
Man, that's a winner!
This is similar to watching hurricanes develop and move toward land.
The caravans need to be given names-the first beginning with a and so on.
The military will be using video in the event of confrontations. Just like the cops, ICE, border patrol etc. ☺

It would not be good to fire on them, but that number cannot come into this country by force and demand to be accepted.
It was an unfortunate choice of words, but it's just the way our President speaks. I've gotten used to it, and don't get my knickers in a twist over his exact phrasing anymore.
Had the lawyers and speechwriters crafted that statement, they would have called rock throwing, 'use of deadly force.'
