On here talking about shooting illegals and US officials…. Good way to get a visit from a three letter agency, but you do you.



Yeah I would have 0 sympathy for him if that happens

Or even more specifically how do you weld something open?

I assume they meant they used cutting torches but that's certainly not welding. Welding is literally the process of joining things together


Open a door, weld its hinges together, door will not be able to close. Door is welded open.

Welding the hinges while the door is open?

And upon reading the article it actually explains:


Caption: "A large metal pin, used to hold the gates open, has been welded to the gate so that it cannot be closed."

Why and how we haven't revolted against these Marxist cronies, I don't understand.

Them getting in is one thing. Encouraging it to go as far as welding open gates surely has to be against some homeland security law

On the busses. Right to New York, Deleware, DC, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, etc. immediately.

Whenever they decide to close the border.. the busses stop. Not until.

They wanted it…. And apparently still want it. Give it to them.

I'm an I&E guy...I don't get involved with welding shite

And usually you weld things to join them together (as is the case here)

Just didn't think about it much

US officials have inexplicably welded open 114 massive gates along the Arizona border to allow water to flow freely during the annual monsoon season


I do not believe them. I can see that being a reason to open the gates but to weld them open? That is a bit much. However, if flood mitigation was the reason for the opening then the administration would have multiple border patrol guards ready to arrest anyone using the gates and national guard humvees with machine guns pointed at the gates 24/7.

You could poll 1,000,000 Americans outside of any Dim controlled shite hole city and 70-80% would like the southern border fully locked down yet our federal government is allowing hundreds of thousands of illegals into the country each month....you talk about a fricking disconnect.

Taxation without representation.

With the likely exception of a handful of our knuckleheaded resident Progbots, does anyone feel DC represents you or your interests as an American citizen?

Been a long time since I can say I’ve felt that way (minus the 4 Trump years).
