Sending troops to the border not only violates American law, it is the least politically savvy play the president could make.

First line, first lie. Sending troops does not violate the law now any more than it did when Obama and Bush activated the national guard for similar duties. They are not allowed to act as police, but they are very much allowed to act as spotters for the border patrol.

Gustavo is a racist demagogue.

The President and those of us who support him should be rejecting the argument that turning away invaders is in any way a “police” action. Instead the turning away of invaders should be deemed a military action for the very good reason that that is exactly what it is.

They can act as soldiers to stop invaders, well within their rights.
