Ever hear of Posse Commitatis?
Are we at war with Canada and Mexico and what about the illegals who come here on boats, many in packing crates and on planes?
The president can NOT, BTW, just deploy the military to anywhere he wants to, when he wants to, all on his own.
And until you actually KNOW what you're talking about, replying to you is not only futile, but a waste of my time and energy.
Most illegals get here through our open borders, especially the one to the south. The Posse Comitatus act has been changed several times since it's conception. Bush has the power to close our borders so stop making idiotic excuses for his failure on this issue.
"One of the most controversial uses of the military during the past 20 years has been to involve the Navy and Air Force in the “war on drugs.” Recognizing the inability of civilian law enforcement agencies to interdict the smuggling of drugs into the United States by air and sea, the Reagan Administration directed the Department of Defense to use naval and air assets to reach out beyond the borders of the United States to preempt drug smuggling. This use of the military in antidrug law enforcement was approved by Congress in 10 U.S.C., sections 371–381. This same legislation permitted the use of military forces in other traditionally civilian areas—immigration control and tariff enforcement."
