Posse Comitatus prevents the President from using the military to guard the border.

You are being disingenious. Nowhere in the Posse Comitatus Act is the word borders mentioned. I asked you twice and I'll ask you again:

Are the borders considered international territory or not?

Your love of President Bush is seriously eroding your judgement.

No I am not. If an illegal crosses the border, they are on US soil. The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the military from performing law enforcement duties on US soil, therefore they have no authority to arrest them. This whole discussion has nothing to do with my sentiments towards Bush, I disagree with some of his plans as much as you do...I definitely do not agree with his immigration plan. Here is a summary of my argument...

FACT: Hayworth KNOWS Bush's plan was DOA.

FACT: Hayworth is spewing that crap to sell his book.

FACT: I don't appreciate that at all.

If he wants to push his own damn plan, fine. However, for Hayworth to state that Bush's plan is somehow inevitable unless the people rise up against Bush is what is truly disengenuous. The rest, such as your "international border" comment are just semantics. Y'all can go on ranting all you want, but the facts don't change...Bush submitted his plan twice, Congress rejected it, therefore it is up to Congress work out a plan of their own and get it passed.

"Your love of President Bush is seriously eroding your judgement."

There's a long, long difference between love and adoration. The Raving Nutcake holds Bush higher than Muslims hold Mohammed.
