“That’s because U.S. military troops are prohibited from carrying out law enforcement duties.”
Nice gaslighting but no they aren’t, Marines are exempt for one. One easy example is their use guarding the mail trains in the 1920s. Armed to the teeth. The military was used in Little Rock as I recall. Marines were sent to the LA Riots.
Last but not least, repelling an invasion AT the border is not “law enforcement”. It is a classic military mission.
Photographers will outnumber immigrants and soldiers 4-1. No chance the military is going to do anything rough.
Sounds like their plans of hitching a ride on the wheezing U.S. Government Gravy Train may be thwarted. If these people are forced to go back to Mexico or their home countries it will be one of President Trump’s greatest victories. What a blessed change from Obama and the Democrats who would sell their grandmother’s gold teeth for a few more votes.
$700 billion per year for a military which cannot stop an INVASION:
I want my money back.
Against US citizens. What is the military or militia for if not to repel invasion?
Sounds like lap dog Mattis at work again. Credibility is very important for the reelection campaign Mr President.
This is not a “law enforcement duty.” Preposterous.
It’s time to make an exception for the military at the borders and coasts to protect our country from an invasion. Not just leave it to Border Patrol and the Coast Guard. Times and dangers have changed. This exception should have been done 50 years ago.
My empathy jar is empty
My compassion jar is empty
My sympathy jar is empty
I am refilling all 3 jars with ammo.
Defending our borders against invasion is one of the federal government's (and by extension, our military's) primary obligations.
It is NOT law enforcement, and Posse Commitatus does not apply.
“It’s too much security to confront humble people who just want to work,” said Ulloa, a 23-year-old electrician from Choloma, Honduras,”
Too bad, Ulloa. We are all full up here. Go home. Fix your own **** hole country.

That is an AP article which must be a short excerpt only.
You may need to hit the abuse button and asked the mods
to shorten it.
But they will be there.
That is simply not true.
That's because U.S. military troops are prohibited from carrying out law enforcement duties.
Well then what were they doing murdering everybody at Waco?
Oh that's right. That was the democRAT military, not the "Trump" military.
