Is Immigration going too far by using lethal tactics on Illegals when they try to cross the border?
 
Not exactly answering the question. And wouldn't that be a bit costly though? One would think knock out darts would be an ideal thing to use.
 
But again as with my original question. Are they going too far by using lethal tactics to begin with?
 
A few days ago when my mom was here. She told me about how a small family was trying to cross the border. And were told to stop. But their little 4 year old for some reason decided to run off. And so, they shot and killed the little kid instead of trying to find some other method of getting the kid to stop. She also told me a more recent moment when 27 Spanish people tried to cross the border. And if I remember right, she said that they too were all shot and killed.
 
In the end it's fairly useless, people will find a way in you can't stop them on such a scale.

The only way to actually stop them would be to make it unattractive for them to be there.

Wow, you are right. It would create some jobs like that.

So too would allowing immigrants to come in and helping them start their own businesses, asnd with education to amend skills shortages.
 
Of course the border patrol should only use lethal force as a last resort.



But then again, this is still going on....



And this is from MSNBC, not Fox as we all know they're just a bunch of haters.



WASHINGTON -- Armed men in Mexican military uniforms have illegally crossed into the United States to provide cover for drug smugglers, and have fired upon U.S. Border Patrol agents on several occasions, a congressional panel was told Tuesday.

They aren't haters, they simply don't have a proper understanding of reality. Fox News is delusional. Intentionally misleading and lying to the American people.

Did you catch any of the MSNBC coverage of the Beck rally in DC? The words intentionally misleading most certainly apply there as well.



And you forgot to comment about the armed incursions into the US by Mexican forces.
 
Lethal means should be a last resort on the border, meaning that it not be used at all because there is always a better, more humane alternative.
