Something is better than nothing, but what is a tank going to be used for?

And Ken cuccinelli who worked in trump administration dhs said this morning the head of Texas dps disagrees with Abbott so nothing’s going to happen. It’s all for show.

Yeah I want to read what Cuccinelli has to say. Is there a link to that. Thanks

Biden will send his tranny goons in and use the tanks to blow up the finished parts of the wall

I would doubt that they are sending Abrams main battle tanks. The media probably doesn't recognize the difference between an Abrams and an APC.

I was on an Abrams tank for over 20 years. If they are sending actual tanks, they are GREAT at target or "migrant" acquisition. 2 independent thermal sights and you can see people from a long way off.

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

To make morons say "wow! we're going to stop them now! Winning!"

Abbott should be focusing on bussing all illegals to sanctuary cities.

It’s all for show. If he really wanted to do something he’d call up the guard set up SAWs with overlapping fire and mince anything that steps on the border banks of the US. Do that for 90 days straight and illegals will get the picture.

Tanks of water, right?

For thirsty migrants.

I agree. It’s a tankless job.

This place about to blowwwwww

I’d set up signs in Spanish and other languages a mile away that says “cross this and you will be blown up”

This shite has to stop.

I'm going to guess Stryker Vehicles or 113s from the Vietnam Era.

Probably not Abrams or Bradley's (Bradley's also not tanks but have a big arse gun).

Eta: it's 113s. That's an APC.

Can't he do both?

People bitch about him sending them further into the interior, and stopping at the border and/or sending them back. Can never win.

Now I understand it's probably more for show than anything, but hopefully the show is to put fear into them from coming over.

I wish they get shipped off to Canada. Claiming NAFTA or whatever it's called now rules.

My first thought was “I’m surprised wheels is doing this, the election is over.”. Theme I remembered, this is for the 2024 election.

If Abbott could scratch up enough ammo for about 60 seconds of intense cover fire all across the actual border, things would get interesting quickly. I'd bet that we's see a record decline in illegal crossings for a while!
