That is all. *expletive deleted*ck you all, eat *expletive deleted*it, and die in a fire. I have considered writing here a long parting section dedicated to each poster, but I have decided, at length, against it. *expletive deleted*ck you all and Hail Satan.
. . . mistaken belief that U.S. policy allows for them to remain in America once they make it in."
When we prosecute border patrol agents for shooting a fleeing drug dealer, I doesn't surprise me that they are reluctant to shoot back. That is why I always caution people about putting the military on the border. Our DC politicians would pile them with so many ROEs that they couldn't spit without being court marshaled. martialed.
So does a grammar nazi get sent to a courts martial or a tribunal?
Neither, he gets a drumhead trial and is summarily executed.
Fighting a war against mexico is racist, regardless if the other side is invading us.
What is the downside to having a fast response military team or assets in place to come to the rescue if Border Patrol comes under enemy fire?I don't want Border Patrol tasked with fighting paramilitary or military assets. It needs to be understood that if you fire upon the US Border Patrol the response will be a swift and overwhelming military response. Why not US military helicopter gunships as back up?
Perfect job for the National Guard, in my somewhat ignorant opinion.

Might be a good role for retiring A-10's
Could Governors Perry or Brewer have the NG or state guard shoot-down a Mexican military 'copter if it was on our side? I think the resulting political crisis would be refreshing.(why isn't this a problem in New Mexico? It's almost like it's being coordinated at some high level)
I agree. And put up a few drones armed with Hellfires, too. The drones can stay up a lot longer than manned aircraft.Something has to be done. Firing military-grade weapons into the U.S. is an act of war, but our fearless leader doesn't have the cajones to call it what it is. We need the Army patrolling the border, and I don't mean the National Guard. There's a lot of armor at one of the posts in Texas -- roll some of it down to the border and be ready to return incoming fire.
Wonder if the ROEs prohibiting return fire are official or unofficial?
