So, these agents hear about an emergency situation at the park, but when they get there Texas state cops don't want to let them enter, so the agents... Just give up and go home? Gosh, no wonder people in Congress are talking about more funding for securing the border, we apparently don't even give our Border Patrol firearms if this is how easy it is to stop them.
Are you suggesting the Border Patrol get into a shooting match with the TX national guard? Both sides are armed. It deserves a court case, not a gun fight.
While a woman and two children drown? With all due respect, you can shove that court case right up Abbott's ass.
Shut up. It sucks. But, risking an actual shoot out that could kill several people, possibly even collaterally damage, isn't an acceptable alternative.
Imagine this is what people said before the revolution.
So you're fine with people dying, as long as they're migrants.
Violence is not the answer. Advocating for violence is even less of an answer.
I'm not advocating for violence. I'd prefer seeing the Texas National Guard stand down and the Border Patrol rescuing the drowning people.
Other folk have other opinions, apparently.
And nothing of value would be lost.
Don't bring a gun to a tank fight. Don't even need to shoot back, just roll over them if they don't get out of the way.
