Violently repel them?? You dumb ass. They aren't being deployed to gun down unarmed civilians, rather to assist the border patrol in processing and maintaining order. This isn't the first time the military has been deployed on the southern border, Obama and Bush also utilized the military at the border during their terms when confronted with large numbers of refugees. Get your head out of your ass.

"Processing and maintaining order," huh? Could you possibly be any more Orwellian? Since the vast majority of the people coming up do not have the "legal" permission of the U.S. ruling class to be here, feel free to literally and specifically describe what that "processing and maintaining order" entails. (And the fact that Bush and Obama did similar evil crap doesn't make it good.)
Processing/ verification that each individual qualifies for political asylum, as we're told that's what the migrants will claim in order to enter the US. Maintaining order/ preventing entry to US until processing and verification of asylum status is granted, and provide security until such time. Nothing Orwellian about enforcing law and order unless you want to argue the current laws regarding immigration are Orwellian, in which case you should work to repeal or change the laws, instead of beating up on Trump and his supporters for enforcement of current law. Feel free to literally and specifically describe what "violently repels" entails.
"Nothing Orwellian about enforcing law and order." That might be the funniest thing I've read all week.
If you think Trump intends to let them all in after they fill out paperwork, that's pretty amazing. But since you asked, I will gladly literally and specifically describe what "violently repel" entails: MEN WITH GUNS using threats of violent, or overt physical force, to keep people from stepping over an arbitrary, imaginary line.
