I assure you that these aren't 'symbols' on our border...

They are symbolic. Because the Posse Comitatus Act forbids them from doing anything but watching and reporting. Human drones that cost more and are less efficient. I know I spent a couple of weeks on a Special MAGTF along the border. Miserable time sleeping with Tarantulas checking for snakes every morning and eating crappy food only to watch illegals and smugglers come across the border and not able doing anything about it.
During an Emergency Trump can suspend the Act, but all hell would break loose and justifiably so. You want the next liberal President declaring an Emergency, suspending the Act and using the military to arrest citizens?

They aren't stopping anyone either, even if they did what happens then? All they need to do now is kidnap/buy a child and come in and be released.

The President is being trashed by reporters right now, he is holding his own but the disrespect these clowns show is unbearable.
