And LOS wants to shoot them all. Hey, they knew what chance they were taking.

Considering the word VIOLATE is in the definition of the word INVADE, the sentence DOES work. Just thought I'd straighten that out for you. Hahaha...
I'm sorry. You confused me when you stated, "Invaders are always shot when defending a border. That is the chance you take when you choose to invade/enter ILLEGALLY, break the law, etc etc etc." And since you've insisted your use of the word "IS correct," and since Muttly and his little friend wholeheartedly concur, I'm sure you can understand my confusion, and I hope you won't see it as a, what was it? oh, yes, a "total fabrication." Maybe give me some slack and call it a partial fabrication, considering it wasn't fabricated at all.HEY! I NEVER said I wanted to shoot them all. That is a total fabrication and only meant to cause problems in here. There is no call for that.
Yes, they know, and they don't care, because we're allowing them to break it without consequences. What kind of consequences are you suggesting, dare I ask, and for whom? Who, exactly, are you blaming for this?They DO however, KNOW they are breaking US law, and THEY DON'T CARE if they break our laws. There HAS to be consequences for that. Right now, they are being rewarded for their law breaking.
Yeah, the Mexican drug cartels are pretty powerful.There will come a time, IF we ever bother to close and control our borders, that there WILL be deaths. We are already being fired upon, and when we clamp down, if we ever do so, that will increase. At NO time should we EVER accept enemy fire and over flights by the forces of a foreign power. Right now, we are.
Whatever it is I vote for otherwise.I would be interested in knowing just how people intend to STOP those who are entering illegally, from entering, without using SOME kind of force, deadly or otherwise.

The word invade has at least four different meanings. Some of them not necessarily with hostile intent. Illegal aliens can be invaders with hostile intent or without hostile intent. Regardless, they are invading our laws, which we use to secure our country.
Are illegal aliens VIOLATING our border laws? Yes or no?Despite the convoluted [and totally nonsensical] explanation in post 56, laws cannot be invaded - they are intangible entities, lacking any space to invade.
The word you wanted was 'evade', admit it.
Did he say ALL invaders are always shot? You see, there is some ambiguity and exceptions there.You said: "Invaders are always shot when defending a border." No ambiguity, no exceptions - so how is it that you now claim you didn't say it?
The total fabrication is entirely in your backpeddling on statements that get challenged. That is what "causes problems in here": changing your tune. Claiming you were misunderstood, etc, etc, etc.
Using "ALL" would be unnecessary, and redundant. "Invaders are always shot." Always, means always, and would necessarily encompass "all." If you are an invader you will be shot, since invaders are always shot.Did he say ALL invaders are always shot? You see, there is some ambiguity and exceptions there.
It's your reading comprehension that sucks.Using "ALL" would be unnecessary, and redundant. "Invaders are always shot." Always, means always, and would necessarily encompass "all." If you are an invader you will be shot, since invaders are always shot.
As it is, his statement is unqualified and absolute. For there to be some ambiguity and exceptions there, he would have to explicitly state them with qualifiers such as "some" or "many" or "most." But he didn't do that.
I'm beginning to understand why it is so difficult to have a meaningful conversation with you, since you lack a fundamental understanding of the meanings of words, and in how to put words together to mean something comprehensible, because you consistently say something other than what you mean. By the same token, people make simple, unambiguous statements and you fail to understand their meaning. You've even demonstrated an astonishing lack of ability to comprehend basic dictionary entries. It's really quite remarkable. And frustrating. And disappointing.
Really? I'm the one that fails to see ambiguity in an absolute, and fails to see exceptions when there are none. You, on the other hand, manage to see ambiguity inside an absolute, and can find exceptions where they have been expressly eliminated.It's your reading comprehension that sucks.
