It’s against the LAW.. we aren’t supposed to have a standing military only militias.. and they arrested some militias in new Mexico for doing just that.
It is not against the law, the law says that the military cannot preform law enforcement functions. Defense of the border is not and should not be a law enforcement function.
18 U.S.C. § 1385 only prohibits the use of the Army and Air Force as posse comitatus and while 10 U.S.C. § 375 prohibits direct participation by a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps in a search, seizure, arrest, it doesn't mention the National Guard.
They can be mobilized at the request of a state governor.
