Wouldn't it make sense for invaders at the southern border to be shot on sight?

Pretty simple fix that would solve a lot of America's immigration problems. If you cross the southern border in any area that's not an approved crossing station, you're an invader and dealt with as such.

Guarantee the attempts would drop by about 90%, and the remaining 10% wouldn't be very successful. We could even automate a lot of it.

A winning campaign promise, don't even need to build a wall.

This would trigger the numerous stupid people in the U.S.

If people are verified as being armed, they could justifiably be shot. Otherwise you need to employ nonlethal measures.

No, you cannot automate this. This requires a mobilization of at least 250k military personnel to cover the entire border, plus others in the interior.

It's a national emergency.

They should be. Try walking into China and you’ll be shipped home in a Tupperware bowl.

High powered water cannons would be pretty entertaining to watch as they wade across the Rio Grande.

Pepper balls and water cannons should make them reconsider.

Something non lethal would be fine. ... rubber bullets, bean bags, then held at Guantanamo.

However you couldn't shoot to kill.

We need an automated CIWS like they use on naval vessels, but they're full of pepper balls. If those don't work, switch to bean bag rounds.

Minefields would be much more efficient

1.) Vast majority of Americans would heavily disapprove, especially if..
2.) Automation would shoot women and children just as easily as men. Hard to call a mother and child crossing the boarder an invaders.

America has failed Americans and the migrants are just taking the path we've allowed. If you're going to begin shooting illegal immigrants in crossing, we first need to start at least trying to control the border and get word out about what's coming.

I've been saying the same for a decade or more. We wouldn't have to kill more than 10 or 20, and the invasion would stop cold. Thousands and thousands of lives would be saved, not to mention the vile predatory actions of coyotes against women and girls trying to come over. It all stops in a matter of days.

It makes sense if you want to permanently lose the border/immigration issue politically.

It is ironic the country so many people are desperately trying to enter is the Land of Freedom Joe Biden is in the process of destroying.

Does not make sense because it would be too labor intensive. Mine fields would be much more effective.

Would last about 12 hours of a 24 hour news cycle then 85% of sane Americans would be so outraged it would stop immediately and the insane 15% would go back to whining and sniveling about their irrational fears.

Happening now: Approximately 15,000 Haitians are about 50 miles from the border outside McAllen, Texas.
