President Donald Trump issued a dire warning to would-be immigrants making their way toward the U.S., warning that thousands of U.S. troops being sent to the border would return fire if caravan members throw rocks at them.
Trump has already ordered thousands of troops to the southern border, and was asked after delivering a fiery speech at the White House whether he envisioned them firing on the people making there way approaching the border on foot.
'I hope not. I hope not. It's the military. I hope there won't be that. But I will tell you this: Anybody throwing stones, rocks, like they did to Mexico and the Mexican military, Mexican police – where they badly hurt police and soldiers of Mexico – we will consider that a firearm,' Trump warned.

If they do that then doesn't that mean they would be in the country? I thought that the goal was to keep them from crossing the border in the first place?
if you want to send a message, send a message. waving and yelling as well as other newfangled anti-crowd contraptions used would be novel, but will not stop them from coming. One well placed 30mm round will end the whole of it for good.
Heh - newfangled ... must be on same vocab wave length
I’m pretty sure Trump will never support a ROE like you mentioned in the Sinai.
He basically just put then on notice. You throw, we’re returning fire.

What a glaring contrast to a real leader like Trump!
Just as I heard it, word for word.
Although I didn’t hear everything else he said.
“...just assist police and border guards and ICE as backup and help with fence building and so on....”
You don’t send 5 to 15 thousand troops to do just that above...

I watched it. I thought he said rocks. The military should treat rocks like a gun. He also said some Mexican police and military were injured pretty badly.
Serving the marchers Taco Bell burritos with “mystery meat” could make then turn back.
Anyone ever hear of a guy named Goliath? He was killed by a rock slung by some guy named David.
Under most normal police rules of use of deadly force, a thrown rock or one in the process of being thrown can be considered as lethal force.
Those pics need to be circulated.
Poor, poor child. What a horrible mother, how could she use him and endanger his life?

Yeah, blasting that on a jumbotron would do the trick.
