Too late. Wrong use of Armed forces. Big expense. Bad results and GI Border deaths will really anger the heartland.

The Military is for killing enemy soldiers. Only.

Assuming you are not on active duty with the DOD...
What does it say on line 11 of your DD-214?

The primary duty of every active duty service member is the defense of the USA, against all enemies, foreign or domestic.

I screamed to high heavens and quoted chapter and verse of the Constitution and all applicable DOD military regulations when certain politicians started attempting to missuse the DOD to fight in the politically waged "war on drugs" against USA citizens.

Military border patrol(securing the external borders of the USA against all invasion) is most definitely consistent with ALL DOD regulations, the UCMJ, and the Constitution of the USA.
As for your incredibly ignorant statement:

"The Military is for killing enemy soldiers. Only."

May I respectfully suggest you either seek more information on this topic, or mental therapy, since you seem unable to function in the real world with the limited resources you exhibit.

Wrong use of Armed forces

Correct. Their proper role would be in the invasion and stabilization of Mexico

Big expense

Incorrect! That expense would represent less than 10% of the GDP squandered on illegal aliens and their successive generations of progeny. Using the military to stop the invasion would be a net cost savings. As an example it costs nearly $15K/yr. to educate just one child born of the consequences of illegal immigration in California and there are millions enrolled in California's public schools.

Bad results and GI Border deaths will really anger the heartland.

Probably not. While military losses are unpalatable, losses that directly benefit, that are tangible and that every citizen can measure on a daily basis are less offensive. As citizens watch the horde subside, public school classrooms return to normal, emergency rooms reestablish to actually treat medical emergencies, freeways become less congested, prison populations dwindle, cars disappear from front lawns and taxes go down, the sacrifice may become less stinging.

Our military is for securing our borders from foreign invaders, too. Why would you think our military is only for securing the borders of foreign nations?
