Are you really that uneducated? The Posse Comitatus Act applies only within the US. Good grief...

Amazing, isn't it? Evidently some people think if you say it enough times, it will be true.

You have to concede Howlin that the Posse Comitatus Act has a huge loophole. Obviously, I'm not in favor of military incursions into states too. But where does it end or begin? A boundary with another foreign country cannot solely be a state's responsibility. All I'm saying is that there has to be a defined zone of area where the military are allowed to patrol - and it should only be as a stop-gap measure anyway, until more Border Patrol agents are trained and technicalities related to the PCA are worked out among the states and feds.
