The United States has 14,000 troops in Afghanistan, 39,000 in Japan, 34,805 in Germany, 23,000 in South Korea, and around 5,200 in Iraq. Our military protects the borders of countless nations.
Except our own.
In 1919, we had 18,500 soldiers on the border. “Twice a day every foot of the border line is patrolled by cavalrymen and infantrymen,” the New York Times noted.
A hundred years later, President Trump’s proposal to use the military to secure the border is controversial even though Marines fighting drug cartels have come under fire from drug smugglers.
El Salvadoran migration has inflicted 207 murderers on this country. The migrant caravan threatening to invade this country includes migrants from El Salvador. Some of them may be MS-13 members. The Pueblo Sin Fronteras caravan of 1,000 migrants is the product of an alliance between international leftists and migrant invaders. Their goal is the invasion, colonization and occupation of America.
And the only ones defending us against them are the members of an outnumbered border patrol, threatened by both drug cartels on the other side of the border and sanctuary states in this country.
That’s why President Trump is mobilizing the troops to do the job that the Democrats won’t do.
“Until we can have a wall and proper security, we’re going to be guarding our border with the military,” President Trump said.
Some of the same politicians who oppose withdrawing our forces from Syria also oppose sending troops to secure the border. But which should be a higher priority?
If an enemy army were invading South Korea, our soldiers would swing into action. But the United States has already been invaded. The invaders have occupied and seized control of state governments, including California, while declaring that their rebel cities will defy Federal immigration law.
They mean to do the same thing to the entire country. Their DREAM is the end of America.
From fighting Indian raids to the banditry of Pancho Villa, the military has always secured the border against invasions out of Mexico. The military was our defense against the "Plan of San Diego" terror waged by Mexican racists who vowed to seize control of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and Colorado, liberate the “proletariat” and execute all "North American over sixteen years of age.”
And yes, the military can even “build the wall”.
Joint Task Force North's military engineers have already built 62 miles of road, and border fence construction. There’s no reason why its anti-terrorist and drug smuggling prevention mission can’t be expanded to include securing the border with a wall and other impassable physical barriers.
Presidents have taken action against urgent illegal migrant threats before.
"Let me just tell you that Dwight Eisenhower, good president, great president, people liked him. ‘I like Ike,’ right?" Donald Trump said during a primary debate. "Moved 1.5 million illegal immigrants out of this country, moved them just beyond the border. They came back. Moved them again beyond the border, they came back. Didn’t like it. Moved them way south. They never came back."
Operation Wetback was fantastically effective in clearing illegal aliens out of California and Texas.
Under General Joseph Swing, who had done everything from hunting Pancho Villa in Mexico to going up against the Japanese in the Philippines, the INS caught, detained and deported over a million illegals. Wetback had been based on the Operation Cloud Burst plan, which would have used a presidential proclamation to authorize the use of military force if the Army had not been tied down in Korea.
Some commentators have claimed that the Posse Comitatus Act would prevent the use of any military forces other than the National Guard on the border. But securing the border against foreign invaders (as opposed to domestic law enforcement directed against citizens) has always been a military matter.
Furthermore the military is already authorized to operate in areas where drug smuggling occurs.
Stopping illegal migrants does not subject “citizens to the exercise of military power”. If the military does not supplement ICE, but directly secures the border, there would be no Posse Comitatus issue.
But the law also permits the use of military force to “prevent disruption of Federal functions”.
Sanctuary states like California have disrupted the functioning of immigration law and have even passed laws prohibiting citizens from cooperating with Federal authorities. 10 U.S.C. 332, “authorizes use of the militia and Armed Forces to enforce Federal law when unlawful obstructions or rebellion against the authority of the United States renders ordinary enforcement means unworkable.”
The unlawful obstruction of immigration law by sanctuary cities and states has made ordinary enforcement unworkable. The rebellion against the authority of the United States must end.
10 U.S.C. 333 further, “authorizes use of the militia and Armed Forces when domestic violence or conspiracy hinders execution of State or Federal law, and a State cannot or will not protect the constitutional rights of the citizens.” That’s the current state of affairs in California and elsewhere.
Californians are being robbed, raped and murdered by illegal aliens because their government not only refuses to protect their constitutional rights, but criminalizes cooperation with immigration authorities.
Deploying the National Guard would be a helpful start. But hopefully it won’t end there.
Any forces deployed to the border must have the authority to stop anyone illegally crossing the border. Either that or they must be part of a wall construction effort. Obama and Bush had already deployed the National Guard as a show of force. But a show of force by forces unable to do anything is a farce.
America can’t afford any more border security theater when we need actual border security results.
Our cities are being overwhelmed, our borders are unreal lines on a map and the terror is coming home. Every day we are losing more of our country. The San Diego Plan envisioned the invasion and capture of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and Colorado. Over a century later, it’s becoming a reality.
The military can be used to secure the border as it has been since its existence. All we need is the will.
President Trump is right to call for using the military to guard the border. He’s right to contemplate using the military to build the wall. It’s been done before and it can be done again. The residents of terrorized border towns, the angel dads and moms of Americans murdered by illegal aliens, the sheriffs and other law enforcement officers, and the struggling ICE agents are waiting for military backup.
Our soldiers have been deployed to defend many countries. Now it’s time for them to defend our own.
Great, do it, get it done, start today.
What’s to prevent citizen/civilian militias from joining the defense?
Apparently our military is only for protecting other countries.........
What we have to remember is that a poor, socialist , non-white,immigrant(invader) is not going to vote for a Republican ever.
This is true especially after the news media has demonized Republicans as being racists. So you have immigrants voting 90% at least for democrats which equals a socialist America.
So immigration is bad if you like owning property and having freedom and not having some government bureaucrat decide what is good for you. Sure you're going to find an exception but the vast majority 90% plus vote for socialism(democrats).
Every socialist country Venezuela, zimabawe, North korea, Cambodia etc. became a large gulag or concentration camp with a starving population. So be for any immigrant coming to the USA if you like starving in Gulag USA
What are the government schools? gulags. Every instituion run by government soon turns into a gulag.
Citizens trying to stop illegal aliens will be dealt with more harshly than the illegal aliens breaking into our country.
the "Plan of San Diego," a revolutionary manifesto supposedly written and signed at the South Texas town of San Diego on January 6, 1915. The plan, actually drafted in a jail in Monterrey, Nuevo León, provided for the formation of a "Liberating Army of Races and Peoples," to be made up of Mexican Americans, African Americans, and Japanese, to "free" the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and Colorado from United States control. The liberated states would be organized into an independent republic, which might later seek annexation to Mexico. There would be a no-quarter race war, with summary execution of all white males over the age of sixteen....
Similar to the original plan, this second Plan of San Diego emphasized the "liberation" of the proletariat and focused on Texas, where a "social republic" would be established to serve as a base for spreading the revolution throughout the southwestern United States. Indians were also to be enlisted in the cause.
...
A third version of the plan called for the foundation of a "Republic of Texas" to be made up of Texas, New Mexico, California, Arizona, and parts of Mississippi and Oklahoma. San Antonio, Texas, was to serve as revolutionary headquarters, and the movement's leadership continued to come from South Texas.
The USA spent Trillions of dollars protecting Germany .Germany is now allowing millions of Muslims in .They are giving away their country to Muslims /Islam
Set it up as a “training exercise” for the Army Corps of Engineers to build the wall.
Should have put the military on the border long ago.
We are giving ours away to Mexican/Central American socialists.
Since I do not get on Social Media, please let me know if Trump calls for a GO FUND ME wall account.
What’s the hold up?
“Set it up as a “training exercise” for the Army Corps of Engineers to build the wall.”
Let them start on one end and the SeaBees at the other and see who goes furthest past the middle. It might take a whole week.
So you want to be the new ‘caudillo’, leader of the mob?
How are you going to breach the border?
Multiple swarms, delayed enough to appear over, then repeat.
Follow the news cycle for maximum effect.
Perhaps some firecrackers to draw fire.
A few casualties would bring more news cameras...
Stopping this flow of those who despise our heritage is the sworn duty of anyone who, in any capacity, has sworn to uphold the Constitution. This is not debatable. No one can justify some of the mass demonstrations against our heritage in California, by people who identify with the invasion. The behavior of the demonstrators is totally inconsistent with the heritage that made Americans the most successful people on earth.
Unless the invasion is stopped, it will mean the end of America in any recognizable form.
I’m ready for him to call up the militia, as legally defined.
Seriously, ruck-n-rifle ready.
