Unfortunately, whatever military force we put on the border is limited by law to monitoring, intelligence, construction, etc.

Aka Posse Comitatus. However, should DJT declare we are being invaded, then all bets are off and the full use of military force or some sort of ROE can be used. Used once and wisely will send a message that the border is closed; the MSN will howl at the deaths of so many innocent immigrants - now invaders.
Which frees up the Border Patrol to do their job.
Also BTW giving the Border Patrol more eyes and ears to find the illegals.
Mexico uses us as their ‘welfare system’...
Is it even possible that you don’t know the difference between guns pointing OUTWARDLY over our borders and the prohibiting of those border guns pointing INWARDLY?
No one is moving to keep people IN as Americans are free to LEAVE. Guns pointing outward are to deter an INVASION.
That’s a huge difference.
On one of the other threads, someone with actual BP experience posted about this. I will try to find. Hmm, did a cursory search, can’t find at the moment.
But the freeper with at least a couple of decades of experience at the border posted that when NG assisted, it freed up large numbers of BP who were able to do the active patrol job much better. So even the NG in a support role helps tremendously. The voice of experience said this. I should have bookmarked, I’ll try to find the comment later. A lot of threads to look through.
Make them temporary deputies of the Border Patrol so they can detain illegal aliens for the BP.
“whatever military force we put on the border is limited by law to monitoring, intelligence, construction, etc.”
Not so.
They are limited by convention and policy.
There is no law that stops the US from using the military to prevent unauthorized entry.
Construction? How about our military lays two parallel barriers: 2,000 miles of triple strand concertina wire, 200 yards apart? [At one man-hour per 10 yards, it would take 1,000 men 44 days to lay the first barrier and another 44 days for the second, parallel barrier. The times are cut in half with 2,000 men working.] Monitor for tunneling, collapse the tunnels, and arrest the tunnelers. Make sure no one messes with the wire, and don't give illegals a free ride for being on our territory until they manage to cross both wire barriers on their own. When they do get across, put them in tent cities supervised by MPs and Shore Patrol until their deportation hearings.
They are trying to overwhelm us; let's make sure the challenge and the negligible chance of release into our communities overwhelms the globalists. Make sure no one wants to be one of the parasites giving up months of their lives in an effort to overwhelm us.
So if Pearl Harbor happened today we would just monitor them and build walls?
B$ that is the excuse for not really doing anything that matters. Invasion is invasion and the Constitution prescribes the powers that can be brought to bare against it.
They are only limited by the goons in Washington. They are not limited by the Constitution or the American people wanting their border secure from invasion.
IF Washington does not secure our borders, WE THE PEOPLE need to rise up and arm up to do it ourselves. I have done it in the past with like minded folks but the problem was and is today, we cannot get enough keyboard warriors off of their fat arses to really do it. I challenge everyone to look deep within themselves to see if they have what it takes to do it.
