“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.

That was my battalion, 2nd Bn, 9th Marines
Hell in a Helmet
Tell that to Mattis.
I say get rid if the BP altogether and give the border security mission to the US Army. Soldiers have been patrolling an securing borders since soldiers were invented.
