Yep, pretty unConstitional. The government trying to defend its borders and control immigration. Where on earth did the federal government think it got that authority?
Is not border protection one of our greatest Civil Liberties?
The border is already militarized.
"The presidents proposed deployment of National Guard troops violates the spirit of the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the military from getting into the business of civilian law enforcement," says Romero."
Posse Comitatus only limits the use of FEDERAL troops in domestic law enforcement. Doesn't apply to the NG.
This will be thrown out of court if the judge has any sanity left.
Click here and scroll a bit for a brief discussion.
Applicable in this case: If the NG is operating under state authority and/or for illegal drug interdiction (which was passed by Congress, BTW, so the folks on the Hill can't plead ignorance).
The Mexicans should know that would be a bad idea.Americans don't react well to being sued by criminals.
The ACLU and Mexico suing the US govt for protecting the borders.
This will not be good for Democrats.
I teach ESL students in Texas and I've never encountered so much prejudiced hatred as from a huge percentage of my students, and it's all because I'm a white American woman.
I have to force them to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. It's infuriating.
They hate us and they think that our country really belongs to them, so they have very condescending attitudes toward white people.
Enemies foreign and domestic that are placing this country in jeopardy. Let the socialist pigs file all the lawsuits they want lets. triple the National Guard now and let's tell foxy to shut up and we are suing them for telling a SUPER POWER what to do in OUR COUNTRY!!!
Mexico really has a sweet deal. They send us all their misfits and sue us if We don't like it. Time to sour the deal and kick the Illegal Alien Civil Liberties Union (IACLU) out of this country.
Correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't PC only apply to the feds being used against OUR citizens?
Ya know, they should play this up. The more publicity the better. Have even more marches and protests and shout "Viva Mexico!" Because Washington obviously still hasn't gotten the message.
Well if the ACLU can make up its own rules, perhaps we can make up some of our own. Deport the ACLU.
Immigration enforcement? No, this is now about protecting our country against foreign insurgents. It is so much more than an immigration issue. It's a trespass issue.
Contrary to what Bush proclaims (just as he says Islam is a Religion Of Peace), Mexico is not our friend. A "friend" doesn't act like that. Mexico is a corrupt narco-state actively subverting us. It is about time we marched our army to Mexico City again and throw out their crooks and put in our crooks.
The first element?
Islam, a Religion of Peace®? ( links, blogs, quips, quotes, aggravating pictures ) is located here- click the Pic, and scroll backwards:
The other, somewhat interlocking element is this one:
"Thunder on the Border," click the picture:
What is happening under the radar is that the alien lobby, certain elements of radical Islam, and some on the Left share common goals, tactics, and exploitations of our system and society.
See "ANSWER" in the poster?
Work backwards on my links to see all the shady left-wing and terrorist-enabling organizations backing this nonsense.
So its OK for the MEXICAN MILITARY to shoot US border agents but the opposit is not true?
ACLU lawyers should be disbard. period.
As for ACLU, it jumps into anything that will damage this country.
Doesn't seem encouraging for the ACLU, but obstruction is most likely their principal aim anyway.
