Target illegals like the drug cartels with lethal force if they are armed? What a novel concept. Apparently Texas has finally awaken to reality that it’s time to stop be nice to the cartels and armed invaders. A bill proposed in the Texas house would give the National Guard authority to use lethal force against any armed invader crossing the border.. Mostly this would be targeted at the drug cartel members.
A group of Republican lawmakers introduced legislation Thursday that would give the National Guard the power to use lethal force against “armed invaders” crossing the southern border into the U.S.
The bill, titled “Defend Our Borders from Armed Invaders Act,” was introduced by freshman Rep. Morgan Luttrell, R-Texas, and has been referred to the Committee on Armed Services.
The legislation, if passed, would authorize the National Guard to take “such actions as may be necessary to repel persons attempting to enter the United States from Mexico who are carrying weapons, and for other purposes,” according to a description of the bill. The full text of the legislation has not been made public.
