What is intrusive about law enforcement officials entering a place of business to check whether employees are legal? Government inspectors enter businesses all the time.

And, in general, conservatives want a lot LESS of that, remember? We insist on things like "probable cause" and "search warrants," remember?

Posse Comitatus limits the use of the military for LAW ENFORCEMENT.

What's the term again? ILLEGAL immigration? Does that not imply that ENFORCING the LAWS against illegal immigration is LAW ENFORCEMENT?

It is quite in line with the Posse Comitatus Act for the military to patrol our borders and protect them from invasions, in this case an invasion of illegal immigrants.

Or is it your contention that if a hostile military ever attacked our homeland, the invasion would have to be repulsed by the sheriff's department?

Please explain which "hostile military" the illegal aliens belong to.

You've managed to argue both sides at once, AND lose both arguments at once.

Conservatives want LESS law enforcement?

Probable cause and search warrants to check the legal status of workers?

The military can protect our border ONLY if a hostile military violates the border?

Yes, I can see how in your eyes I have lost this argument. Very well done!

"What's the term again? ILLEGAL immigration? Does that not imply that ENFORCING the LAWS against illegal immigration is LAW ENFORCEMENT?...

Please explain which 'hostile military' the illegal aliens belong to."

Have you found THE loophole for hordes of invaders to infiltrate the United States of America?

Do you mean to say that an invading "hostile military" can only be regarded as such if they are wearing fatigues and carrying arms?
