***IIRC, only the Marines can be used domestically***

Perhaps true... and perhaps the Coast Guard?

If DHS is not financed then Border Patrol and ICE are not financed either {Thanks to the 'pubbies}. POTUS may have to call on the military to maintain border security.

I doubt Posse Comitatus applies in the event of an invasion. Only the military can repel an invasion. Not really a matter of semantics. Thousands attacking our border is, by definition, an invasion!

Agree. All military can be used against foreign invaders. That is one of the main reasons to have a military!

I believe that Posse Comitatus just prevents military from being turned against US citizens.

as I understand it, the purpose of Posse Comitatus is to Prevent the military being used against citizens. I would surmise that an illegal is fair game for any military branch...technically speaking, of course.
