Let's not be too idealistic, Dragonlady. I agree with you 99% of the time, but of course there are some people in the caravan that we don't want on our side of the border. That is what the border vetting process is for, and we'll get 'em.the legal ability to is not the issue.There’s a number of folks here with their heads in their asses...they refuse to believe that little Gustavo could get his ass kicked or shot by our military. I figured I’d try to enlighten the lost fools one more time.
The Insurrection Act:
The Insurrection Act represents what is considered an acceptable use of soldiers: authorized by the President himself, as the ultimate tool through which the United States exercises its sovereign authority within its borders. Use of soldiers is a last resort; the President may only approve it under the Insurrection Act when he determines that the civil authorities are unwilling or unable to enforce the laws. The President must make a proclamation ordering those involved to disperse. But once the President has invoked the Insurrection Act, the Posse Comitatus Act does not apply.
how insanely stupid it would be to do it, much less say you will, is.
now while i do agree it would be stupid to shoot people throwing rocks, it would now be MORE stupid to throw said rocks. but if M13 or other "bad people" are in that crowd, some are gonna pull guns and get shit started cause they get kicks out of it.
There are no "bad people" in the caravan. That's the whole point. Unarmed women and children, mostly. If you think the US looked bad locking frightened children into cages, imagine how it would look if that little girl was lying dead on the ground instead of crying and clinging to her mama.
They are mostly young working age males. Many openly admit they are coming for work. They won't get in, although they're talking tough right now and taking advantage of the free eats and sympathy rides that the caravan is getting.
All these folks getting all hyped up and talking about shooting them are disgusting, but let's keep our feet on the ground. With all the extra personnel Trump is allocating to the border, even the groups that peel off and attempt to jump the border aren't going to have much luck.
