No. I'm saying that it's going to take a LAW ENFORCEMENT approach to solve, and that a military approach is off-limits unless you're proposing to invade Mexico and remove the kleptocracy that runs that country. (An interesting idea, actually.)
Do you mean to say that an invading "hostile military" can only be regarded as such if they are wearing fatigues and carrying arms?
Yes. That is what "hostile military" means.
HEAR, HEAR! (Hey -- I'm sure Vicente Fox and his cohorts CAN technically be construed to be encouraging an "unarmed" invasion)
Quite frankly, until we get a handle on the current crisis, suspending or re-adjusting the fine print of 'posse comitatus' under the circumstances IS warranted.
Realistically, and until then, can any "civilian" BP ever be large enough to be a deterent OR effective?
