Yes. Tough questions.

I've seen Americans have many types of weapons used against them, whether it be batons, tasers, firearms, pepper spray, fists, cars, baseball bats, etc.
But now, it's suddenly such a horrific sight when someone uses a horse for transportation while doing his job as a Border Patrol agent trying to protect this country.

I do! I said them. I meant them.

By men on horseback.:rolleyes: And that's ok with you?
Um, why is this an issue? Is this a sporting event where you have to give the illegal people an advantage? I don't think so.

You said
But since the horses are the big issue when it comes to mode of transportation when dealing with Haitians versus other nationalities, please tell us which mode would be appropriate when dealing with Haitians. How about ATV's? Or maybe motorcycles?
Since this is the Mexican border, there may be Mexicans and people from Guatemala trying to sneak across. Which mode of transportation would be acceptable in your eyes when dealing with them? Can we go back to horses? How about Camels?
So I said:
Maybe even pick-up trucks?
I said that because YOU suggested alternate forms of transportation to chase people. I said it reminded me of Ahmaud Aubery
You said...
Why? Was the guy he grabbed a shotgun from and tried to use it against on a horse?
So I replied Alternate transportation.

Yes, it is.
If it's not ok with you, then let's hear the reason. However, I'll tell you in advance that, "I don't like the way it looks" isn't a good reason.
I have already said I think it is dehumanizing.

One of those "You can't make this stuff up" stories.......

"Border patrol agents will be banned from using horses in Del Rio, Texas, the Biden administration announced Thursday, after viral photos showed agents on horseback capturing immigrants who crossed the border illegally.

Initial reports indicated agents were using whips on the migrants, though that was later debunked. But conerns over the photos came up during the White House press briefing this week.

"One, we feel those images are horrible and horrific," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday. "I can also convey to you that [Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas] conveyed to civil rights leaders earlier this morning that we will no longer be using horses in Del Rio."
Biden decision to ban horses for border patrol draws backlash from Republicans

Civil rights? Since when does a horse violate someone's civil rights?
Will police officers also no longer be allowed to use police cars on city streets, given that they give an unfair advantage to criminals who are on foot?

The stupidity of these people has no bounds. I was far more concerned with the amount of people trying to get across the border than I was with the horses. The shear amou t of people in comparison to thos trying to stop them was pitiful.

Those poor border patrol were showing an effort of futility. The Biden Administration had deliberately chosen to allow this.

You would not want it done to you.

I would fully expect it to be done to me if I was breaking the law and trying to break into another country. I wouldn't whine about it, cause it is what I would deserve.

A human whose path is being blocked by law enforcement on a horse remains just as human as he would be if blocked by a car, a truck, or a tank.

And now they've stepped in to further allow it by slandering the Border Patrol agents who were seen doing their jobs. Last I heard, the officers have been suspended pending an investigation. Not sure what there is to investigate, but I can see how it would further demoralize the other agents and make them start doing as little as they have to in order to retain their jobs.

Funny how the administration likes to use cops like the Capitol Police to make it look as if they love law enforcement, but then turn against law enforcement who is trying to defend our borders while on horseback. Not to mention how they treated the military in their service in Afghanistan.

So before I read the thread....how many here got duped into thinking that people were "whipped"?

The video of the incident has been released....not a single whipping takes place.

I noticed that when I originally saw the report on the news. The reporter (a black, of course) kept saying the agents were whipping the Haitians, when that was not what the video showed at all. The news anchor went along with the reporter. Then they featured black lawmakers commenting on how "horrified" they were and how it reminded them of the days of slavery. But then again, we can't expect them to let any opportunity to make accusations of racism go to waste.

What is interesting to me is the whips and ropes were used only against the Haitian migrants.It is reminiscent of the catching of runaway slaves or cattle. It is dehumanizing. I know some people do not see anything wrong with using horses in this manner but they should check themselves, especially if they name themselves Christians.

Maybe Haiti should be abandoned all the people move to the U.S. might be better that no one will have problems.

Probably. They already got 13.5 billion dollars in aid after the earthquake they had, and it seems to have all gone to waste. Even in this report from NPR, they tried the "Build Back Better" idea, and we see where that got them. 6 years later, we're following the same path.
