The fact that we have not placed automated gun towers on the US Mexican border shows just how false this statement is.
China does not place automated gun towers on its borders, either.
The US is far from a saint but in the last 40 years it has grown very squeamish about civilian casualties on either side and clearly does not have the stomach to actively commit genocide even on a small scale any longer.
But if the comparison is China, the US has still killed more civilians (in war).
