Mr. President, do you need a ol' crip who can still drive anything on the planet for a logistics volunteer?

>>The a-hole in Hawaii is already prepping his injunction.<<

Now is the time for our President to put an end to this usurpation of the powers of the Chief Executive and simply ignore any and all lower court interference with his Constitutional responsibilities. He should respond ONLY to decisions of the Supreme Court that do not interfere with his Constitutionally defined authority.

>>I believe the President has a completely free hand here to do what he thinks is best.<<

Well he better damn well get ‘er done and done NOW or the Republicans will be crucified in November. This sh*t has gone on way too long.

I didn’t make the sign and I am sure anyone looking at it knows what it says.

[Ron H.]

Your proof for making this statement?

[Ron H.]

.....This is a foreign invasion.

Well if you think you can get away with that bit of twisted legal logic then by all means go for it. I do agree with your description. But in reality that excuse will sink faster than a lead duck legally speaking.

Absolutely we should have the military stationed on the border. We’ve been since the 1950s in Korea, which is way too long. Yet we’ve little to nothing to protect our borders.

Homeland Security says surge in illegal border crossings is a ‘crisis,’ warrants military deployment

Also, in Oct. of '05 both houses of congress enacted a joint resolution (H. CON. RES. 274) clarifying congress' stance on Posse Comitatus.

Excerpt from the resolution:

"by its express terms, the Posse Comitatus Act is not a complete barrier to the use of the Armed Forces for a range of domestic purposes, including law enforcement functions, when the use of the Armed Forces is authorized by Act of Congress or the President determines that the use of the Armed Forces is required to fulfill the President's obligations under the Constitution to respond promptly in time of war, insurrection, or other serious emergency."

The current caravan of illegals headed through Mexico to the U.S. combined with recent spike in illegal border crossings would fall under the category of "serious emergency" to all except crazed leftists who aim to eliminate our borders and sovereignty. ...like those on the 9th circuit. Thankfully SCOTUS is now composed primarily of constitutionalists.

[Ron H.]

Thanks for the clarification.

Read the act. The President can enforce INTERNATIONAL border security with regular army troops.
