TX must have some pretty extreme "Wildlife"

I understand the need for securing and patrolling the border but this just rubs me the wrong way.
Share a little jurisdiction and have the agencies dedicated to security and enforcement do it. Not every government agency needs this kind of firepower.

On a different note, better make sure your fishing license is valid in TX because these folks might show up to check it.

I'm generally against the militarization of police, but regardless of what their law enforcement duties are, they're more or less operating in a war zone while doing them.

MRAPs 200 miles from our borders are another matter.

going up against equally, if not better armed opposition and you're upset Not surprised.

Yes, they do have extreme "Wildlife". It's called MS-13.

This. The border patrol and other LE agencies on the border regularly come under fire from across the border. I personally have no problem with them having big guns...as long as they remain on the border. Like someone said above, 200 miles away from the border is a major problem.

EDIT: Major stupid spelling mistake fixed. Doh.

This. The boarder patrol and other LE agencies on the boarder regularly come under fire from across the boarder. I personally have no problem with them having big guns...as long as they remain on the boarder. Like someone said above, 200 miles away from the boarder is a major problem.

Completely agree.
