So, the end justifies any means? Who decides who lives, who dies? You? Me? Some nebulous leader? I sure as hell don't want the job...
So we shoot/kill the illegals on the southern border/northern borders, and the coasts, too... Where does it stop? Who's next on the hit parade now that you've discarded law and order? The folks buying the drugs? The folks hiring the illegal aliens? Their kids? The dog? Where do you stop...?
You can not pick and choose which laws are to be obeyed. If they aren't working, change 'em. That's anarchy. Which does, of course, describe what is going on on the border with Mexico...on that we're agreed. The answer isn't however, and this is where we part company, more of the same, only on our side.

How do you think the Mexican govt. would react? Might certain elements within it, or its entirety, join forces with the cartels to "avenge" the deaths of Mexican nationals? Or, as is all too likely in the scenario some of you are advocating, innocent people are killed...what then? Ooops? ...and continue on?
Yeah right. And so instead we are just to sit back, and continue to allow the wanton murder of our citizens and do nothing. Do you hear yourself? What kind of American are you?
Dont the ends justify the means on just about every thing we do?
As far as who lives and dies- that would be up to the those who are committing the crime.
I just cannot see how securing our border with men carrying guns is anarchy and a discard of law and order. Law and order is what "end" we are trying to achieve.
You have any idea what happens to you if you try to illegally immigrate to mexico? Its a felony and 5 years in a mexican prison. good luck surviving that.
Just out of curiosity, do you have any ideas on putting a stop to whats going on down there?
