Well, that occupation, after the civil war, would have been against American (albeit somewhat unwilling) citizens. This is a very different thing.

We are talking about the systematic breaking of our laws and the stated objective of 'reclaiming' parts of America. This certainly sounds like the job for a national army.

Why is it our government and some of our citizens feel it is justified to go to another country and take up arms against its citizenry and protect its borders, but not our own.

Now the National Guard, as I understand it, is not totally a national army, it is somehow connected with the state, but haven't they been used within our borders?

I agree with nothing will change until something is done about the corporation who employee these people. But it has to be a total effort on all fronts. It can be done. But just a few well-chosen speeches by our President and his support for it would help. He is doing just the opposite.

Quite, frankly, I think we could do something, but we aren't even willing to make ourselves sacrifice even one of the so called cheap products of these people. So, in essence we deserve what we are getting - but our children and grandchildren do not.

Bottom line, if protecting our own country against invaders should not be the primary 'mission' of the military - then what is?

You and I can argue that they are "invaders" all we want, but it doesn't mean a thing. If there is an invasion, then the military should attack mexico, THAT'S what the military os for, to do what you promote is to declare the US at war, and us citizens under martial law.

Sorry, it will never happen. Enforcing immigration law is not a duty of the DoD, it is a civil matter.
