You’re correct here. This is simply about Trump using bigotry and fear to rile up the base by bringing out the worst in some people. He’s just using the easiest target he can find.

Or do you support this simply because of who they are are and where they are from

No, it is a hard (as in difficult) choice. It is a hard choice where in certain situations events can rise to the use of lethal force. Hopefully before that threshold is reached, non-lethal force can be substituted. There are vetted policies and procedures as to when that force can be applied - you do know this, right?

And I would expect the same restraint in the unlikely event this happened along the border for multiple reasons. First, restraint, they are (mostly) professional. Second, because, as you well aware, the Active Duty Army is Constitutionally Limited to what they can do along the border, and that they are in a support function.

I know all about use of force policys civilian and military

My issue is and always has is you have a sitting POTUS giving his approval to use deadly force against people who throw rocks ... another example of his authoritarian mindset .. who doesn't care about those policys .. he sees them as obstacles
