And prior to that Texas Rangers and local LE handled it...NOT the militaryI'd be interested in seeing a link showing that to be trueSo, you do not think we need any sort of border control since there is no "invasion".
Is that what you are saying?
Of course we do. That's what the Border Patrol is for.
For the majority of time that we have been a nation there was no border patrol, the military defended the borders like they should be doing.
Why pay for a border patrol when we already pay our military to defend this country.
Because posse comitatus has been the law for well over 100 years and that would preclude what you claim
The BP was created in 1924, long after the posse comitatus..which was never meant to deal with border security.
The Texas Rangers and local LE were not fighting back Mexico's attempt to take back parts of the US...the military was.
