Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, referring to US troops who are expected to be deployed to the southern border to deter an incoming migrant caravan, said Thursday that "we do not have any intention right now to shoot at people."
Holy cow. No intention "right now."

"We do not have any intention right now to shoot at people, but they will be apprehended, however," Nielsen said in an interview with Fox News. "But I also take my officers and agents, their own personal safety, extraordinarily seriously. They do have the ability, of course, to defend themselves."
Does that sentiment truly alarm you?PLesa excuse the tpyos.

I also never thought the US government would be guilty of taking small children away from their parents and secretly shipping them overnight to a totally different part of the country without as much as writing down the name or location of their parents so they could be reunited later. But it happened under this immoral administration.Last edited by BlueK; 10-26-2018, 11:42 AM.

They are not law enforcement. They are prohibited from engaging in law enforcement.

At worst she knows the President really would prefer the military go down there to mow everyone down with machine guns who tries to step over the border and this is her best attempt to appease both sides.

Originally posted by creekster View PostShe didn't say the military would necessarily be apprehending anyone, which I think is fairly clear. And this is not domestic law enforcement, this is border protection. You may not like the policy, which is a different issue, but if the military is there, at the border, and they are attacked, at he border, and need to defend themselves, at the border, from persons coming from outside the border, then yes, I would expect them to exercise the right to defend themselves. How can that possibly be controversial?
