The overwhelming majority of illegal aliens in both Europe and America are military age males. Women and children are a distinct minority in the flow. ISIS has bragged about inserting its operatives in the migrant flow in Europe and they are likely doing the same in America. The groups of illegal aliens trying to breach the border that were shot at in Greece and Hungary were mostly if not entirely male. Those actually shot were all male.

An effective border wall like Trump was building and Biden discontinued would go a long way to solve the problem, so there would not be any need for high levels of force with an effective wall in place.

The border wall built by the black-ruled country of Botswana, both one of the more democratic and more prosperous countries in Africa is an example of how border walls work to control illegal immigration. Botswana has had an illegal alien problem and fixed it by building a border wall that is wired to carry a lethal dose of electricity. The have never had to turn the juice on because the fact that they can is enough of a deterrant.

Illegal immigration is just one of the many issues in which President Trump demonstrated success in governance and Biden has exhibited miserable failure in governance.

Thats the problem with being the "smartest person in the room". You think nobody gets it. Actually everyone gets it.

An utter lack of self awareness

Little Bobbie, you are entitled to your own opinion but not your own "facts". The history of minority soldiers in the Confederate army and navy is factual history, even if those facts do not line up well with your ideology. Someone reciting facts is never nuts, but what IS nuts is your constant far left idological blather.

Thank you CV - nothing says "I'm nuts' like your previous post.

And you want to be my latex salesman ..........

There are lots of things that can be done short of shooting them. For example, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Finland have "push back" policies where if an illegal alien makes it across the border, the border guards are instructed to push them back out of the country. Latvia has now made it a pushback law by putting it through parliament. Some countries, particularly Poland have successfully used water cannon to blast these invaders back across the border.

Robust use of force is also a useful deterent. Latvia's Interior Minister instructed border guards to use whatever level of force they deemed necessary to keep the illegal aliens out of the country, but their one goal was to keep them out. Greek and Hungarian border guards have actually fired their weapons to successfully stop attempted mass crossings, the Greeks killing an illegal or two. As former Czech Republic President Milos Zeman said, this is an invasion and it should be responded to the same way as any other invasion.

There are borders around the world where people do get shot by border guards if they try to cross illegally. However, Trump's border wall would probably have served us well enough to stop the nonsense now going on, but Biden shut down its construction.

With what those illegal aliens did in Italy to that 13 year old Italian girl, they should just be let out on bail and unofficially turned over to the mafia to handle. After all it happened in Sicily, the home turf of the mafia, and the mafia should come up with some more just punishment than the courts would to mete out to them, something that would have more deterence to other illegal aliens from doing similar things. This is something that illegal aliens are prone to do, and it needs to be stopped by whatever means necessary.

Sorry but shooting people as they attempted to cross the boarder was discussed, but left out of the bill for humanitarian reasons.

It's kind of hard for MR, a black guy< to support the confederacy - you have to give him a pass on that.

Most violent crime in the US went down in 2023.
Military still one of, if not the strongest in the world
Inflation sucks but it's a global market, cyclical and on a downward trend
Eduction can always improve but hardly broken down

I had an epiphany tonight regarding Beaufort County's government, its direction, and remarkably how I, in all my years of experience and knowledge, had lost my way in dealing with the inane ignorance that exists around me on the Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners.

Could part of this normalization of stupidity be the fault of society at large, since these fools were elected by Beaufort County citizens, or the fault of the media, which is pervasive, and mostly poor in quality, where much of it it corrupt, dishonest, and even corporate within the ranks of the legacy media, where no real journalists dare tread ... the culmination of such is that far too many of today's citizens are either kept poorly informed, or by the complete incuriosity of another fraction of those citizens, they are left intellectually wanting.

I will return with more information of what forced me into the realm of this begrudging epiphany, reinforced by the segmented video(s) from the February 5th general meeting, the underlying backstory, and more.
