While scrolling the Twitter today I ran across this post:
As Jeremy asks, Do “asylum seekers” from Syria normally wear clothes from 5.11? My answer would be no, they don’t.
I’ll admit I don’t have a lot of experience with the Syrian flavor of Arab. However, I do have a lot of experience with Iraqi Arabs. There were only two types of Iraqis that were rocking US tactical brands like 5.11.
The first kind were the ones with official positions in the Iraqi/Kurdish governments. They aren’t typically the type to just up stakes and try to cross the US southern border illegally.
The second kind, well, they were the ones setting roadside bombs and ambushing convoys. It’s far easier for me to see that kind trying to enter the US illegally.
Given that there were 1.7mm known gotaways at the southern border during the 2023 fiscal year, it would be safe to assume that several thousand middle eastern military aged males have crossed into the US illegally. I’d also point out that 30ish thousand Chinese illegals, most of them military aged males, are known to have crossed into the US.
Why am I bringing this up other than the informational value?
I’m using this article as a kind of call to arms. A reminder that you need to be carrying at all times. If it turns out these middle eastern and Chinese illegals are here with nefarious intent, it may fall to you to do something about it. As Winnie the Pooh said; stay strapped or get clapped.
I wrote an article entitled Get Out And Train about a year ago, and now is a good time for you to review the information in that article. Get out and shoot. Carry a gun everywhere you legally can. Be prepared. Remember, you are your own first responder.
