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.

'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.

Well, since we just had one border agent killed, and another seriously injured, by rocks used by illegal immigrants, I think it makes sense.
Nobody is going to force them to throw rocks, that is their own choice. Trump is clearly informing them of the consequences, so they can’t say they are not warned.
