Just to recap. Bush has already authorized beefing the Border Patrol up to 14,000 or more. That's in the Homeland Security Bill, isn't it? The problem is it takes place over the next 10 years.
Posse Commitatus exempts the National Guard. It doesn't apply to them. We don't want them arresting anyone anyway. We need a sufficient force to turn the invaders back before they ever cross the borders in the first place.
As soon as we ascertain exactly how many Border Patrol Agents we need, we hire them immediately, (Just like they did with the TSA!) erect sufficient barriers along the borders and then send the National Guard home. No big deal. We've done it a couple of times in the past. The precedent has already been set. Not that another Clinton would care, if that's what they wanted to do.
Would a Clinton let the fact that a Republican had never done something in the past stop them from doing it? Just ask Monica. LOL!
As far as our military losing it's fighting edge doing border patrol, they haven't lost it in South Korea, Germany, Bosnia or Afghanistan. Why would they lose their edge guarding our borders?
The militaries of the world have been guarding the borders of their respective countries since before time recorded. None of them ever forgot how to break things or kill people.
