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.

I really wished that she would have waited until after the Super Bowl to make this announcement. It would have been nice for him to not have this as a distraction.

Thom Tillis was one of the despicable scoundrels selling us out on illegal immigration. Tillis needs to be tarred and feathered and run out of the Republican Party on a rail.

The chief Democrat negotiator of this amnesty bill has gloated on TV that under this bill, in spite of claims otherwise "the border never closes".

That Lankford - Schumer border bill is even worse than what the leaks predicted. It will matters far worse on the border. No conservative should EVER vote for anyone that supports it. We should stand up for Speaker Johnson standing firm to shoot it down in the House. McConnell is a Democrat-in-Drag and needs to be kicked out. Good to see Senator Mike Lee calling for his ouster.

Shame on you Mitch McConnell, Shame on you James Lankford, Shame on you, Thom Tillis.

No Big Bob: That is not the World works, and that could be why you almost never understand the realty of real life situations. The real World is not an either, or schedule of issues built upon strawman arguments made without an understanding of all that is real to the rest of US.

This reasoning just comes away as a blank countenance of the inane.
