    If you thought their surprise attack was a success, wait til you see how it goes when they announce it ahead of time.

    This ought to be good.

    Good. They’ll all be in the same spot when the Insurrection Act kicks off.

    Much easier to round them up that way.

    Why is it so common to blame those poorer, weaker, and more desperate than you for your problems. Yes live probably has gotten worse, and obvious problems are not being solved, but migrants are the last people to blame. It’s such a destructive tendency, and it’s sad to see the same mistake happening again and again.

      The worst bit? The people most mad have the most in common with the migrants: low job security, lack of healthcare, food insecurity… if the people flying their Trump flags high would take just one second to look at themselves and at the rest of us they’d realize the enemy isn’t people, it’s unchecked capitalism.

      And on that, I bet we actually agree. I just don’t want to fix it with a side of hurting people who are different than me, that’s all.

    LOL wait til they realize they’re just shutting themselves off from receiving economic benefits. Really trying to fast track Texas’ isolation. Good - they can support their own now. Stop expecting shit from California and other states. No one wants to visit the Alamo, where another force of volunteers failed. No one really wants to move there they just have to due how cheap all the dusty flat shit they call land is. The weather is garbage.

    I wish some of the Mexican drug cartels would show up there at the same time, and then all the assholes in both countries could just finish each other off and leave the rest of us alone.

      Please…the cartels would wipe out meal-team-six in minutes and keep going.

      Actual murderers who are trained in violence versus stupid cosplayers.

        The stupid cosplayers still have the means to murder unarmed, desperate civilians for the crime of being born on the wrong bit of dirt with the wrong amount of melanin.

        That’s why they’re going. We don’t need to politely pretend that the people who kill children for ringing their doorbell or accidentally getting in their car aren’t just looking for any excuse to kill someone with their cool guns.

          Don’t forget, crossing multiple states to hot beds of activity until you find someone to shoot is apparently self defense now.

      That relies on the government actually doing something to stop them. Something its shown countless times it’s afraid to do.

        not afraid, not with that military budget.

        they agree with the far right nutjobs. or rather they serve them a purpose.

    A retired US Army lieutenant colonel is organizing an armed convoy next week to the Texas border to, he says, hunt down migrants

    takes Green Beret courage to hunt down orphans and mothers in dire circumstances i guess… is that the kind of courage they teach at Army Ranger School nowadays…

    I’d hate to see what it would do to the local mexican people but pushing them past the border and locking them out would be hilarious

    This is what happens when you call the 1/6 insurrectionists “tourists” and/or give them light sentences. Throw the book at these fuckers each and every time.

      Maybe they’re just mispronouncing the word “terrorist”, they aren’t the most educated folk ya know. They did give those terrorists too light a sentence anyway.
