Live Rounds Fired at US from Mexico At Border
2014-06-24
MCALLEN, Texas—A trusted law enforcement source is reporting that shots are currently being fired on the Mexican side of the U.S. border. The shots are intended to harass the increased presence of Texas law enforcement personnel.

#11  Live rounds or kookies? You do the math.

#10  I'm just wondering when the aircraft 'laser-lighters' are going to switch to .308 slugs.

#9  Really, you guys?
Pretty extreme when there are already unenforced measures in place. Random(profiling) spot checks, in any border state, for 'papers' with free bus trips to Mexico-side refugee holding camps would get my vote.
The penalty for transgression should be worse than current conditions.

#8  I am surprised that shots don't get fired across the river from Detroit to Windsor. There is quite a bit of daily gunplay in the former Motor City.

#6  Roger. Best defense against a sniper is.... a better trained sniper.

#5  Good opportunity for some Civic Action Teams to train local law enforcement on sniper acquisition equipment and TTP developed in Iraq/Afghanistan. BTW, local law enforcement training is authorized under Posse Comitatus.

#3  And if Mexico complains, wipe out their government. It's hostile anyway. In fact, I honestly believe a state of war exists between the US and Mexico. Time to start fighting back.

#2  Bah, create a border zone using radioactive waste and other toxic materials...on the Mexican side of the border. Density should be sufficient to inflict a lethal dose of whatever, to ensure a lifespan of about 10 days of anyone crossing about 10 feet of the zone. Problem solved. Evolution in action.

#1  Shoot back.

With artillery.
