Are they still floating around that photo from 2012?

No it hasn't.

But it has proven that Trumplings sure have their knickers in a knot over it.

I realize you can never admit you're wrong about something, but this is ridiculous even by your measly standards.
Read what you posted. Rubber bullet guns for personal defense. Rigged so they fire only rubber rounds.

No I made no comment about the legality of rubber bullets. In fact in the US I would suspect any skilled DIYer could do their own.

What I said was they are virtually impossible to obtain and are almost never used by other than governmental agents.

you have no point other than a personal attack.

Welcome to American politics, where the only two viable political parties are polar opposites of each other.

It’s sad to live in a country where liberals care more about illegal immigrants than their own constiutens living in perpetual poverty

I don't doubt, that there's a substantial and vibrant contingent of Americans, who think that the illegal "problem" merits a "final solution" (Endloesung).

I have to say that a bleeding-heart cares more about illegal immigrant than US citizens. They think we should feed the world and open our boarders to anyone who wants to come here and pay for it with other peoples money.

Liberal is different depending on where you live. I grew up in Houston and have always considered myself liberal. I moved to CA 9 years ago and what is deemed liberal here is foreign to me. Here most liberals are truly bleeding-hearts.

A bleeding-heart is not the same thing as a liberal.

This has nothing to do with posse comitatus. The constitutional job of the military is to repel invasion. That’s what it’s being used for here.

I don’t know if you are being sarcastic but just in case, this are your peaceful protesters. What are they protesting who the feck knows but whatever it is why should Mexico give a feck they should go to their own country and protest to their government and throw rocks at their government officials. By the way some of them were carrying guns. One of your peaceful protests got kill by its own mob of peaceful protesters too.





this happend yesterday at the guatemala mexico border.


this scumbags heading to your neighborhood soon.

at the end they were not let through by Mexico and they tried it by crossing the river and they were detained by Mexican police and taken in to custody to be deported.

As to laws one does not enforce the unenforceable. The Feds can pass a law directing the sun not to rise. See how well that works out.

At this point the real issue is that our immigration laws are unenforceable. There are simply too many illegal aliens and the society declines the awful battle that would result from an attempt to actually enforce the immigration laws.

So the choices are to fix it by legalizing most of them or simply put up with increasing numbers of illegals as the immigration authorities fail to contain the problem.
You resist, whine, complain, dodge, and misdirect whenever anything is suggested that is not amnesty. Your "solution" is really absurd. You want to legalize millions of unknown unvetted people because the problem is "too hard", then resist any means to address how they managed to enter into the country in the first place. It doesn't take a genius to figure bout that they will keep coming. That's why you're never going to get amnesty, who would take that deal? Nobody. First address how they manage to get in, then focus on capturing and deporting those here. It is a big task but we can do it.

Only two things we need to know:

Fix how they get in.
Deport those law breakers here already.
