The fear on people's faces when you are rolling around in a 72 ton beast is palpable.

Just bus them to Democratic upper income cities infront of their homes.
They also need to send bus loads again to Martha’s Vineyard.

Wow, maybe I could sponsor a tank?

Turns out that no M1-A1s are being sent. Not even M-60s. It's only APCs, and not even M2 Bradleys. Nope. It's a few antiquated M113's.
I am AMAZED that there are so many people who are unable to differentiate between a tank and an APC. Probably couldn't tell the difference between a semi and a Prius either.
(No disrespect aimed at hawgfaninc. The article/tweet stated "tanks.")

Yes. Doesn't mean he should.

Not me. I applaud him for sending them to blue sanctuary cities.

and stopping at the border and/or sending them back
Are they really being stopped at the border? Or are we talking about catch and release?

Kinda like millions of foot traffic leaving trash and fecal matter everywhere?

The announcement probably said “armor,” and some tyro interpreted that as “tank.”

Yeah old state owned stuff off the federal ledger.
Abbott doesnt have the power to move federal property without authorization.

"Journalists" are idiots. Anything with tracks is a tank.
Saying that, correcting someone calling an APC a tank is rather pedantic if you're not in a group of military enthusiasts.
To those people dripping wet from crossing the Rio Grande an APC probably looks a lot like a tank and I doubt they'd debate the finer points.

This is what I want too - cite our criminal emergency and ship them on further north to a really SAFE place.

There's no need for tanks....just send 10-15k Narional guard troops and place them strategically along the border....Locke and loaded and make an example of a few cartel members.
