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.

that shouldn’t be a problem for sharpshooters - women and children are shorter
If rocks and stones (or worse) are directed at our troops you can bet the Enemedia will not show that.
Instead they will show US troops firing on those “poor women and children”.
“Tear gas, stink bombs, rubber bullets, Obama’s 25 greatest speeches.”
Barry Manilow blasted at a deafening level 24/7?
Our troops should be allowed to defend themselves. No doubt.
A few hundred Foreign national Invaders mowed down by the Military in self defense would Stop Cold the others thinking of invading the US.
Rocks are a deadly weapon. No question about that.
If it’s Copacabana.....lol
About 3 back-to-back iterations should do it.
Or, I say we go for the really, really heavy artillery. Large screens showing this video and blasting as loud as possible:

rock salt. Worked for centuries to get rid of varmits, including little kids stealing pumpkins. These are big kids, but they still want to steal our pumpkins.
Border Patrol agent, 36, killed by 'rock throwers' in ambush attack
That would probably work!
Mexico....pay attention. This is gonna be your problem. Time to set up barriers and stop these caravans.
I knew the idiot press would feature this one comment!
LET IT SINK IN
Like General Mattis said, “We don’t do stunts.”
Throw a rock, catch a bullet. Imagine how fast we could have subdued Iraq with such bold rules of engagement!
LMAO, loving the video of “Mr Pepperballs” getting shot in the crotch!! This happened after he threw and kicked tear gas canisters at Phoenix Police following an August 2017 Trump rally.
He’s a scumbag Antifa type, works for GoDaddy. He was originally charged with 19 felonies. As far as I know, he still has a job with GoDaddy.
Suppressed 10-22s, no sound, people just fall down.
You heard what I heard - the “fake news” trying to gin up controversy, as usual.
