I assumed that he probably thinks that habeas corpus somehow prevents the military from serving along the border. Nevermind that militaries, in normal societies, usually exist for the sole purpose of directly protecting the borders of their respective nations.

It wasn't relevant to my argument so I let it slide.

Doesn't posse comitatus bar u.s troops from law enforcement on u.s soil.

That is why we have the border patrol and not our military on the border.

Posse Comitatus is one of the major reasons why we have had this invasion. If we had a military presence on the border their would have been no invasion.

It is ironic that a law that was supposed to help the states has swamped them with costs of illegals.


America should have a military presence on the border. Posse Comitatus should be changed.
