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.

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

Alligators for the Rio Grande, pit bulls everywhere else.

I keep thinking how great an “alligator sanctuary” would be in the RG. Hell, maybe try the hippo experiment again as well

Issuing shoot on site orders would stop illegal immigration immediately. Sure it’s horrible but examples must be made in order to reign in the madness. After that the only ones sneaking in will be the really bad hombres and I feel it would expose just how bad a situation it is as even those numbers will be eye opening.

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.

It's really easy actually. If you want to cross, go to an established border crossing. If you want to die, try to invade at a non-approved crossing. There's no ambiguity.

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.

So? Stop pandering to the feelings of idiots. That is exactly what is wrong with this country.

Ah yes, the country we all aspire this one to be. China.
