Why isn’t the military taking out these invaders?

“Why isn’t the military taking out these invaders?”

Because they are unarmed civilians - non combatants under the law of war are not legal targets.

There is no Congressionally declared war to authorize the use of military force.

The Military is legally prohibited from enforcing domestic laws, under the Posse Comitatus Act.

Good question. I thought they were already dispatched to the border.

Did they leave?

Exactly. Wouldn’t it be great to read a “report” just after this with the headline “Bus Unloads Group of Private Citizen Border Watchers with Rifles at Unsecured Border Section in Arizona”?
