I guess in 1812 we would have had to call on the Sheriffs to stop the Brits if this law was in effect then. Regardless, protecting the borders is a constitutional mandate not constricted by any legislative acts.

Good point.... the Posse Comtias act passed in 1878, well after 1812..
Makes you also wonder why we have the Coast Guard as well.
