Lol I like how the people defending this all act like a rock thrown by a refugee/migrant from a distance at someone in full combat gear is anything more than an annoyance

or you can look at examples of similar things happening elsewhere to see what can happen.
most recently at the border between Morocco and Spain

(those articles appear to be two different instances)

many hundreds jumped or destroyed the fence, throwing sticks, rocks, excrements, battery acid, quicklime and aerosol can flamethrowers at the border agents, sending several to the hospital.

it happened there, it can happen here.
don't act like this is the big bad army feeling threatened by sweet little children equipped with pillow cases.

i hope this is the point where mexico says fuck you to usa and lets china or nk build a military base near the border.

Something tells me that would never happen.

dude, during WWI Mexico was promised all the territories they lost to America (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and California) if they went to war with the US. Mexico narc'd on them and helped the US instead because it was the neighborly and right thing to do. They had our backs and all baby boomers can do is be racist.
