Is it just me, or is our President looking for more and more situations in which the Commander-in-Chief should be allowed to use American military forces on our own soil?

No he isn't. For example, he wouldn't consider using them to actually secure the southern border.

OOOOOH! That's gonna leave a mark!

Nicely put! If theres ANY place we are vulnerable, it's with the unchecked masses that ILLEGALLY Infiltrate our Southern Border!

How many have already crossed and are infected...all for the sake of cheap lettuce and clean toilets? How many more may cross, and overwhelm all the border States' healthcare systems?

We are most vulnerable on the north, right now, as a matter of fact, with regard to Avian flu.

There is currently an outbreak of a "mystery illness" in Toronto, which has an enormous asian population. No one knows what it is. Supposedly, it is negative for SARS and Avian flu, although both those illnesses are well known for false negatives if samples are collected too early, at the wrong body location, etc.
