“The fact that border control is done by a police agency is due to Posse Comitatus Act, otherwise it would still be done by the military.”
What? Posse Comitatus restricts the use of the military to enforce “civilian” laws. Can’t have the 82nd Airborne setting up speed traps on route 12, and that kind of thing.
To suggest that the US Army can t secure the southern border is lunatic leftist twaddle.
It may come as a surprise to some, but the US Army has a long history in protecting the border. Is it your contention we can deploy troops to say, Afghanistan or Iraq without a formal declaration of war, yet we can’t deploy troops to protect our own country from invasion?
With all due respect, either you are crazy, or the judiciary is, Or Leftists, etc.
It’s well known that this is the reason for a police agency rather then the military.

I’m from the border and from a line of government / LE people there. It was explained to me in the early ‘60s that Posse Comitatus (PCA) was the motivation for using the BP since ordinary individual border crossing was not considered a military issue, just a legal issue.
Is it an invasion now and meriting a military response? It’s a matter of debate. Think that the enormity of what’s happening and the fact that many are from countries openly hostile to the US would mean it can be characterized as one. But General Santa Anna is not leading his troops in uniform and in formation, so it’s subjective.
