    Should we use lethal force at the border to prevent illegal immigration?

    I hope most people would say no, but I do believe there is a small subset of people who would actually support this action. It will never be policy, but I am just curious how many people here on PF would actually support a policy like this.

    If they pose a lethal threat, absolutely.

    we have a multitude of non-lethal weapon systems that'll scare the sh*t outta them, as well as leave nasty bruises and contusions... i say deploy them all in a massive barrage as soon as they get within 20 yards of the border...

    Only in a society where Snake Plissken has to rescue the president (although a United States Police Force isn't a bad idea).

    No, while some may consider illegal entry a crime. It is not a crime punishable by death.

    We dont kill criminals without a trial, also the crime does not rise to that level of offense.

    Yes we do. If they shoot at police, police shoot back.

    Stop the sanctuary cities and programs democrats are using for the sole purpose of luring them here for their votes and they'd stop coming. Only the drug runners and human traffickers would still come and I say shoot their worthless asses, good riddance.

    OP

    At the risk of repeating myself - if they were stopped from travelling there would be no question of lethal or non-lethal sanction because nobody would be at the b9rderline to suffer it, QED. FFS how many more times do I need to say it? :wall:

    Its only a giant lib lie that conservatives want to kill illegal aliens

    So as a conservative my answer is no

    So here’s my question to you

    Do you support any kind force to prevent 100 million poor people who dont speak English into our country?


    Liberals want open borders and a flood of aliens


    They are laughing at the Ameican people


    And the more damage aliens do the better liberals like it

    New laws repealing the refugee loophole would help

    Same day deportations with no catch and release policy

    And punishing the santuary cities

    But with the party of quislings in control of the house America is doomed

    Trump should declare the situation an emergency and go for the throat meaning demanding all the above. Anything less and this country will be in a full out civil war within 5 years.

    The democrats are relying on conservatives to wimp out as they always do and cave to their shaming tactics. Not doing what has to be done in times of WAR and yes this is a set up for war and what's coming if we don't get smart now and stop the flow of illegals INVADING the country.

    They want everyone to think these coming are ALL just innocent families seeking a better life although 80% are men and gangs who will be armed by the democrats and fight like rabid dogs to take over the country when they get their numbers up and they're almost there. Once the democrats use their votes to take all elections, ICE and all border guards will be abolished luring all here from all the countries south even more. They've already begun that process with free healthcare, housing, food stamps, and education for all.

    We have one last hope to get this right which is Trump but they've turned the heat up so high on him now that even he's wimping out.

    We as a nation have to stop being divided by them and stop listening to the white shaming. Stop letting them manipulate our thoughts. But most if all stop letting them shame us thinking in terms of what's fair in normal times. Things are much different now and in times of war. We have to change that wimpy mindset or be doomed.

    The next election will tell whether we were successful or not. If the dems win, it's all over.
