I prefer they use live ammo and shoot to kill, send a strong message that their plot to invade this country will not be tolerated ... stop them by any and all means necessary.
WhyAserverWasBuilt is right. There are reporters infiltrated who have been getting some reports out & they've been gathering info. Many of those in the "caravan" are combat-aged males. The reporters estimate that about 10% are women, many with children...And you can bet your sweet bippy that the real combatants will keep that 10% out in front. Some of them are true refugees that should be allowed to reach the border checkpoints for vetting. Others have been getting paid in cash for joining the "caravan" & don't have proper "cover stories" to qualify them under the definition of Refugees (hint: "find a better job" & "escaping drug rings" doesn't cut it). Those who are actual combatants will try to spread out & cross the border some distance from where our military is positioned, if they can.
Now imagine the optics that WILL be used if the troops on the border have only lethal weapons. Perhaps some troops equipped with lethal weapons will be present, but will be under orders to use them only on obviously-armed & active combatants, while the non-lethal weapons are to discourage those who are not here to fight. It doesn't take a genius strategist in the military to figure out this much...
Easy operating instructions: 1. aim 2. turn it on 3. crank it up and rip the knob off. 4. turn it off. 5. go home and rest assured the Republic is safe once again.

(No water cannons or rubber bullets. That can hurt and harm you. These weapons will not!)

Exactly the election optics the left is looking for.
