Bring 'em home put 'em on the borders.

Once agon you dredge up this juvenile argument. When are you going to grow up and realize that border enforcement is not a function of the modern US military?

Every other nation in the history of humanity has guarded its borders with its military. Why not ours?

Oh really? Ok, you made an assertion.....prove it now. Canada use their military at their border? the UK? Australia? New Zealand? Japan?

I have lived south of the Canadian border most of my life. I've been going up there since I was a kid.

I was just up there in November for a weekend photo trip with a friend.

In all the decades I've been crossing the border into Canada I've never, not once, seen any Canadian military at the border.

Ever.

Who in their right mind would want to invade Canada?

Besides, their entire military would have a hard time protecting more than a few miles of border.

What do you think would happen if Canada decides to sell their oil to some other country besides the U.S.?

Which one.

This federal law limits what US troops deployed at the border can do
PHOENIX — The more than 5,200 active-duty troops being sent by President Donald Trump to the U.S.-Mexico border will be limited in what they can do under a federal law that restricts the military from engaging in law enforcement on American soil.

That means the troops will not be allowed to detain immigrants, seize drugs from smugglers or have any direct involvement in stopping a migrant caravan that is still about 1,000 miles from the nearest border crossing.

They can stop invaders. Otherwise what good are they.

You might want to incorrectly use the word invaders but our courts don't.

People asking for asylum or illegally crossing the border don't meet the definition of invaders.

Crossing the border isn't a felony. It's a misdemeanor no different from a parking ticket. That's not the definition of an invasion.

Finally learn about the Posse Comitatus Act. It's the law that applies here and the one that the judge is following.

It's an act of war.

NO! It is not, silly one! It's a misdemeanor not a felony, to cross illegally, (it used to be only a civil offense, like a parking ticket but a fairly recent law was passed to up it to a misdemeanor) and it is no crime at all for refugees to seek asylum, no matter how they cross the border.

Is too.

...they are NOT law enforcement, and can not do the duties of law enforcement.


Congress outlawed the practice of posse comitatus by enacting the Posse Comitatus Act (PCA) (as 20 Stat. 152) as a rider to the Army Appropriation Act for 1880. The act stated: "Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

Congressional debates indicate that the PCA was intended to stop army troops from answering the call of a marshal to perform direct law enforcement duties and aid in execution of the law. Further legislative history indicates that the more immediate objective was to put an end to the use of federal troops to police elections in ex-Confederate states where civil power had been reestablished.

Significantly, President Hayes vetoed the act because it "makes a vital change in the election laws of the country, which is in no way connected to the use of the Army." Congress overrode the veto. Accordingly, the willful use of the army or air force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws is a felony, unless the use is expressly authorized by the Constitution or an act of Congress.

It isn't law enforcements to prevent an invasion through our border. It's an act of war. It's what our armed forces are supposed to do. Protect and defend from all enemies domestic and abroad.

You either don't know what the word invasion means or you're not dealing with reality.

For heaven's sake learn the meaning of words in the English language.

15,000 people forcing their way cross our border is an invasion.

No it's not.

They have no weapons. They aren't attacking our nation nor are they trying to take over the White House and government.

Our courts and the dictionary agrees with me.

Stop lying.

Look up "invasive species". They have no weapons, don't attack our nation, or take over the White House and government, but they cause all kinds of damage, just like illegals do!

They do not have a choice as their oil is on the global market, just as our is! You really don't know shit from Shinola, do you?
