Differentiate
My problem with the Brooklynites comments is that he doesn't distinguish the relatively innocuous border jumpers from the criminal elements.
I am, in fact, involved in communicating with border sheriffs, trying to help obtain funds and assets as well as personnel. Of particular interest, right now, is the returning military equipment, Humvees, arms, night vision optics, thermal binoculars, communications equipment, tents, kitchen equipment and yes some helicopters for the sheriffs. In addition I'm also promoting volunteers, hard core veterans, quite unsuccessfully at the moment.
I have no problem whatsoever with CBP and sheriffs returning fire and terminating the drug and human smugglers and traffickers and the mules escorts that are armed.
The Brooklynite apparently espouses just mowing down anyone that comes across the border. man, woman, child.
Not only is that a totally idiotic proposal, Congress would never approve it, DOD and law enforcement just simply would not do it in the first place and secondly the DOJ would be prosecuting the Americans wholesale as fast as possible. Furthermore the whole world including the UN, allies, and the World Court would turn on America.
What we would want to do is put the Broklynite on the border, give him a gun and tell him to "have at it". As soon as he started shooting LOE's would turn him into Swiss cheese.
Basically he is saying go fight and I will hold your coat. I think, frankly, that he is just venting and blowing off steam.
