Posse Commitatus Act and court interpretations thereof. The illegals are not an armed force, therefore the courts have ruled they are not an invasion and the military cannot generally be used unless local law enforcement specifically requests aid.
Please link or quote case law.
Your response is a serious endangerment of the US so if 500,000 showed up, we would bow to the judge and say oops, can’t do anything they re unarmed. How about million or two or 500,000 a month. Put yourself in the WH and tell me you would do nothing.
My reading is the military can be sued to provide barriers. i have mentioned specifically less than stahl force. Also they wouldn’t be stopping asylum seekers since the seekers can go to points of entry.
I see no reason we can’t stop letting murderers and drug smuggler and human traffickers into the country and using the military to do so.
As president i would use the emergency declaration and risk impeachment to protect the country.
The problem is we are leaking like a sieve and at6 90,000 per month it is national crisis.
Feel free to answer the questions above. n If the caravans increased 10 fold, i suppose you would give the same answer.
