"Dozens of Mexican police in riot gear fired tear gas to force them to retreat into no-man's land after being attacked with stones."
Actually the barriers broken through appear to be barriers designed to hold them in. So you oppose the right of people to leave a country.
It appears there were skirmishes involving rocks thrown at tear gas from the Mexican police. Does a peaceful group have a right to defend themselves against an attack from the authorities. An Interesting question. Did the southern freedom riders have a right to resist the dogs?

I would think a rational government would support a kind and gentle reception with fair hearings and humane detention. Followed by release or deportation.
You really think a pile of dead bodies would be better?
That poster wasn't even hinting at that. Stop letting your imagination run wild.

b.s.
Ordinary people use them, often for security when they don't want to use an actual gun-same thing but different. They can even be purchased through mail order. If they can't get them there then they could have gotten them while they were in this country and took them home with them or mailed them home.
President Trump has sent troops to guard the southern border, but the military lacks teeth to actually do anything to stop the oncoming invasion.
They are there only to "help" border patrol.
As sure as I am writing this post, I know, someone in the military is going to open fire on these invaders.
Not exactly what the circumstances of the provocation will be, but for sure it is going to happen.
With over 5000 troops headed there, the chances of one, or more military personnel actively engaged in protecting the border, opening fire, is very real.
I fully expect this to happen, and it will happen with in days of the large surge of illegals at the border.
I believe this action will not be as a direct order, bur rather the actions of one or more service people who see this as an invasion, and possible danger to the country.
Who ever fires the shot,it will be his/her own decision, but it will happen.

Yeah, civilians can't buy rubber bullets. Which I always thought was counter intuitive.
