Send them all back. Every last one—whether they are trying to cross today or sneaked across 20 years ago.

The specific ocean would short it out. And it might hurt some endangered species.

And she is also said to have another $6 million in other assets. I guess she’s already gotten her reparations.

Right, because California getting more electoral votes has no negative consequences...

married rich

Her husband Sid Williams played in the NFL back in the 60s, but compared to today's salaries, that wasn't very lucrative, typically well under $100K per year. Since then, it appears that his only other employment was as a community organizer, as an aide to an LA city councilman, and as ambassador to the Bahamas during the Clinton years.

Sounds like both of them are grifters, a perfect match.

city council an NFL player from the 60 shouldn’t have made neigh invested to have a 4-10 million house in LA today’s value. She’s not exactly in the league of Reid and many of the others. She sloughed campaign money to daughter and others. Stuffing envelopes etc

"This type of thing was the main reason I wanted Trump as president————I’m still waiting for a real solution."

Same here.

The problem is with Congress and the courts who want open borders. They will do, and have done, everything they can do to keep the flow of illegals going.

Trump would be well withing his authority to order active duty military to the border to prevent foreigners from entering illegally. I can only imagine why that hasn't been done yet. Somebody(s) somewhere must have informed him he shouldn't do that or else...

“Caravan arrives, Honduran flags flying, middle fingers flashing”

IMO the only thing that should be flashing is the detonation of thousands of cluster munitions dropped on these cockroaches.1

DPICM in effect....

Enemy combatants in the open.

b.t.w. did you know that the regular army did border patrol after the Posse Comitatus was enacted, and before the creation of the "border patrol?" For example, ever hear of the Buffalo Soldiers? They (among others) secured our southern border for many years well into the 1900's.

I somewhat agree with you.

But I do believe that we need a 12 mile wide no man’s land immediately south of our border where anyone and anything that moves in it gets blasted by a brigade level time on target of 155mm HE and DPICM.

"The military cannot be used to enforce civil laws............."

Wrong.

To Whom the Posse Comitatus Act (PCA) Applies.
1. Active duty personnel in the Army and Air Force.
a. Most courts interpreting the Posse Comitatus Act have refused to extend its terms to the Navy and Marine Corps (United States v. Yunis, 924 F.2d 1086 (D.C. Cir. 1991); United States v. Roberts, 779 F.2d 565 (9th Cir. 1986),cert. denied, 479 U.S. 839 (1986); United States v. Mendoza-Cecelia, 736 F.2d. 1467 (11th Cir. 1992); United States v. Acosta-Cartegena, 128 F. Supp. 2d 69 (D.P.R. 2000)).
b. In 10 U.S.C. § 375, Congress directed the forbidding direct participation “by a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps in a search, seizure, arrest, or other similar activity.” These regulations appear in DoDI 3025.21. Therefore, the proscription against direct participation in civilian law enforcement activities by active duty military members has been extended by regulation to the Navy and Marine Corps. However, SECDEF and the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) may still grant exceptions to this proscription on a case-by-case basis (DoDI 3025.21).

https://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/Military_Law/pdf/OLH_2015_Ch12.pdf

Congress finds the following:

(1) Section 1385 of title 18 (commonly known as the "Posse Comitatus Act") prohibits the use of the Armed Forces as a posse comitatus to execute the laws except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution (i.e. protection against invasion) or Act of Congress.

(2) Enacted in 1878, the Posse Comitatus Act was expressly intended to prevent United States Marshals, on their own initiative, from calling on the Army for assistance in enforcing Federal law.

(3) The Posse Comitatus Act has served the Nation well in limiting the use of the Armed Forces to enforce the law.

(4) Nevertheless, by its express terms, the Posse Comitatus Act is not a complete barrier to the use of the Armed Forces for a range of domestic purposes, including law enforcement functions, when the use of the Armed Forces is authorized by Act of Congress or the President determines that the use of the Armed Forces is required to fulfill the President's obligations under the Constitution to respond promptly in time of war, insurrection, or other serious emergency.

(5) Existing laws, including chapter 15 of title 10 (commonly known as the "Insurrection Act"), and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), grant the President broad powers that may be invoked in the event of domestic emergencies, including an attack against the Nation using weapons of mass destruction, and these laws specifically authorize the President to use the Armed Forces to help restore public order.
