The Posse Comitatus Act specifically does not apply to enforcement of federal law at the discretion of the President of the United States, such as with the 101st Airborne Division by President Eisenhower to integrate Little Rock Central High School in 1957. While I have no doubt that politicized, Obama-appointed federal judges would overreach and pretend the act applies, President Trump might be able to avoid that interference by not having the military directly intervene. If they vector Border Patrol to an intercept, rather than actually detaining these criminals, federal judges may not have anything they can do. I hope Trump's advisors will consider it. We need to control the border. We also need to put an end to judicial meddling in executive decisions that are clearly within the scope of Executive Power. How many illegals would cross if they could see the Unites States Marines or the 82nd/101st Airborne exercising just this side of the border?
That should be considered...good post...thank you...
The US Army is deployed all over the Middle East and North Africa (Marines too) so I doubt we have the forces necessary to secure a 2,000 mile border.
