[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;26144958]Why must you turn [I]everything[/I] into a race issue?

come to southern California and recruit all the gangbangers down here. We'll show those greaseballs how the fuck we do it in DA HOOD :whatup:

It's cocaine, heroin, and meth as well.

People forget that drugs that the cartels sell is a means to money, which in turn is a means for power. Power and control is the goal, not necessarily the spirit of getting drugs into the US.

[QUOTE=Leon Trotsky;26145387]you like the idea of shooting anyone who tries to enter the country illegally?[/QUOTE] I just said [B]NOT[/B] shooting everyone. Read before you rage.

You put [QUOTE=Leon Trotsky;26140577]so just murder everyone who attempts to cross the border?[/QUOTE] I disagreed that we we should do that. Good job on reading in context. Careful with those straws, they're very flammable, ya know.

[QUOTE=W0w00t;26143745]And...we still need full national guard units on the border (INSTEAD OF IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN JESUS CHRIST)[/QUOTE] It's the [b]National Guard[/b] not the Army.

[QUOTE=Leon Trotsky;26145387]point flew over your head by twenty miles [/QUOTE] Greatest rebuttal I've ever seen. ITT: Leon Trotsky, aka JDK, turns a thread into shit yet again.

[QUOTE=ItsGary;26145462]It's the [b]National Guard[/b] not the Army.[/QUOTE] Guard are still in Iraq and Afghanistan too you know.

The British sold the Tea for cheaper to stop the Americans from smuggling it into the country and it wouldn't work. So just to back up his quote.

[QUOTE=Leon Trotsky;26145588]and before that I said "terrible idea" "so just murder everyone who attempts to cross the border?" was just repeating his point in a sarcastic manner you should've rated my post agree[/QUOTE] I meant the idea that the Guard should be deployed to help secure the border. Despite what you may believe, deploying a military force doesn't automatically mean 'shoot everyone'.

[QUOTE=Leon Trotsky;26145588]and before that I said "terrible idea" "so just murder everyone who attempts to cross the border?" was just repeating his point in a sarcastic manner you should've rated my post agree[/QUOTE] Maybe I should of. It's how I inferred what you said and I rated accordingly.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;26145648]I meant the idea that the Guard should be deployed to help secure the border. Despite what you may believe, deploying a military force doesn't automatically mean 'shoot everyone'.[/QUOTE] you said you liked the idea and no, the problem is the war on drugs. conservatives want to be "tough on crime" and won't even legalize harmless drugs like marijuana, but when violence increases as a result of their policies, their solution is "k let's deploy the military and secure the border"... as if that will solve anything. it doesn't solve shit. the real problem is the war on drugs.

[QUOTE=Leon Trotsky;26145711]you said you liked the idea.[/QUOTE] The idea that the Guard should be deployed. Quit looking at only what you want to see.

okay, so you like the idea of deploying the national guard then what good would do that do

If they join forces with the Taliban we got a huge problem on our hands.
