Long overdue if you ask me. But what are the chances the president would actually override the court on grounds of national security? He seems to favor open borders.

“Our policy is to never return fire across the border as a department. I know that no one, not the Marines, or any of the officers on our side returned fire across the border.”

You know, if they let the Marines return fire, the problem would end swiftly.

“They were using fully automatic weapons. We think they (the weapons) were Sks’,”said detective Hoskins.

If they were SKS's, they were not automatic weapons. AK's I could believe.

I'm suprised the Marines were even there. Now give em some ammo, and let em do what they do best!

The Marines are part of a JTF and are working on construction projects: maintaining the border 'road' and repairing the fence. They aren't armed.

If they had been, I suspect the outcome would have been much different. It happened once before, and the hue and cry from the press was horrendous.

Which may be one reason they aren't armed now.
