The National Guard can be utilized to put down riots, insurrection, disorder but the military cannot be used against U.S. citizens. But the military can certainly be legally utilized to stop a massive invasion of illegals.Many MAGA influencers have an apocalyptic story to tell about the country, the political divide, and where we’re all headed, and they’re already using it to lay the groundwork for crossing what has long been a red line: deploying the military for domestic law enforcement purposes.
In this MAGA fever dream, everyone has their part to play. They believe that they’ll be caught up in it; you might be, too. It goes something like this: If Donald Trump wins in November, people will protest. Riots will break out. The left, they theorize, will go all-out to stoke organized violence around the country, clearing the way for a newly inaugurated Trump administration to step in and make unprecedented, widespread use of the U.S. military to restore law and order.
This dark vision of the future draws on deeply pessimistic theorizing, on lectures about Marxist anti-government ideology seemingly ripped from the Cold War, on memories of the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, and on claims that Democrats and the left will be unable to accept a Trump victory. It all comes against the backdrop of senior officials around Trump and Trump himself reportedly having been eager to invoke the Insurrection Act while he was in office, and mulling its actual use if he’s re-elected.

He will take whatever extralegal steps he needs to take in order to suppress protests against him. Something there's no need to speculate about. He's already planning on it.

Trump has not spelled out precisely how he might use the military during a second term, although he and his advisers suggest they would have wide latitude to call up units.apnews.com
In a recent Newsweek Article:
". . .Individually, the FAIR study found that each illegal alien or their U.S.-born child costs the U.S. $8,776 annually. . . " The cost to each individual taxpayer around $1,000/annually each and the rest increasing the federal and state deficits.

How much do illegal immigrants cost the U.S.?
The U.S. sees $150.7 billion yearly cost from illegal immigration, with policy shifts increasing taxpayer burden.

Now multiply those numbers by the 15 million estimated migrants Biden has allowed or intentionally brought into the country. And those numbers don't take into account the loss of life, livelihood, property and property damage, harm to businesses and quality of live the migrants are causing across the country. Or the strain on public education, social services, healthcare that has been stretched to the breaking point in far too many places and the drain on resources that are then not available for U.S. citizens.
