National Guard could use FORCE against armed migrants entering US under new bill from Navy SEAL veteran Republican congressman

Republicans in the House of Representatives are pushing for a bill that would authorize the National Guard to use lethal force against individuals with weapons traveling to the U.S. from Mexico

The Defend Our Borders from Armed Invaders Act was introduced by Republican Rep. Morgan Luttrell of Texas, a former Navy SEAL who served in the Navy for fourteen years.

Over the past year, there have been several cases of migrants entering the US with weapons, with some brandishing rifles such as the AR-15.

And as the Biden administration and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott clash over border security policies, this bill, Luttrell claims, will allow the National Guard to better protect the U.S. by using “any means necessary” to arrest armed migrants to stop.

“We are seeing violent crime continue to escalate at the border and flow into our communities, while President Biden’s policies have created an unsustainable national security crisis,” Luttrell told DailyMail.com in a statement.

“This legislation is a step in the right direction to combat this crime by giving the National Guard the power to prevent these armed individuals from entering the United States by any means necessary.”
