Shoot to kill is definitely the standing order at the Bangor Nuclear Sub
Base. It's posted on a huge sign for all to see. Each year, warships come
to Portland as part of the Rose Festival. As a Coast Guard Auxiliarist, we
help enforce a security zone around those ships. If a boat of any sort
strays into that zone, they are met with specially trained Coast Guard
warriors who will destroy the boat and persons who head toward the ships.
There are four of these craft, with warriors mounting 50 cal machine guns on
their bows.

So....the distinction between our sovereign borders and the security zone I
described is exactly what?

Righties want our borders honored and protected. Righties wants standing
immigration laws enforced and improved upon. Righties are tired of paying
for the medical bills, education, and court costs of illegal immigrants.

People should be personally responsible for the things you mentioned.
However, none of the things you describe, in of themselves, are as addictive
or destructive as cocaine, heroin, or meth. Hence the laws and
consequences.

I don't advocate murdering them, But they should be turned around as
caught. Without exception. I want eople who are here illegally to go
home. BTW, my wife and in-laws are **legal** immigrants.

I prefer a traditional, god-fearing, moral society vs a socialistic,
god-less, immoral society.
