No, man, it ain't funny to joke about shooting migrants

Gonzalez (allegedly) begged to differ. “Why are we just apprehending them and not lining them up and shooting them,” he asked Brant, according to the police report. “We have to go back to Hitler days and put them all in a gas chamber.
Holy...!
Around the same time, Trump advised the troops that he had dispatched to the border to meet any rock throwing from migrants with gunfire. “They want to throw rocks at our military, our military fights back,” Trump told reporters. “I told them to consider it a rifle. When they throw rocks like what they did to the Mexican military and police I say consider it a rifle.” His administration then formally authorized troops to use lethal force against migrants if necessary.

On Thursday morning, Trump’s decision to laugh off the suggestion that the only way to stop asylum seekers is to shoot them — at a time when militias are routinely detaining migrants at gunpoint — barely registered as news. The remarks appeared nowhere on the home page of America’s paper of record. Congressional Republicans felt little pressure to disavow the president’s behavior.
They all fear for their position, which they would love to keep, and therefore ,they have to blindly/loyally endorse the president, which requires them to stay mute about such some horrible positions, including to shoot help-seeking migrants. This is so perverse, so disgusting...

However, Militias are outside of that chain of command so they would have to be prosecuted through international law or possibly local law enforcement with morals (if they get caught).
Due to the second amendment that implements a legal ground to found militias in order to protect the United States? I mean, the official armed services would normally prosecute such some organisations because they act criminally, they do a job they are not allowed to do, therefore possibly violating human rights.

Not all militias are on a border. In the linked list, only Texas, Arizona (and maybe the National ones), are going to have a southern border presence.
