We have a little-known constitutional amendment forbidding the quartering of troops in our homes.

Are they going to start demanding we quarter illegal aliens?

It was their church that asked them, not the government.

I was thinking along exactly the same line. This is the federal government "quartering" persons in private homes. A total violation of the intent of the 3rd amendment:

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

These are foreign soldiers. They are invading our country. They are indirect agents of the U.S. federal government who is transporting them, feeding them, giving them medical services and some makeshift quarters.

That little exception..."but in a manner prescribed by law" could be a BIG problem. Can Congress prescribe a law that forces a private citizen to quarter persons without their consent?

I have been thinking that for a few weeks, now.

Over the Independence Day weekend, we had house guests, among them my favorite sister. She and I were talking about how we might be forced to give up our houses to the illegals since our children are grown and we are retired.

We were joking about keeping house in my shed, but it could wind up that the joke would be on us.

The USA will be no more very, very soon.

Thanks to the state of public education these days.
