This article is a defeatist pile of shit. Trump can unilaterally close the Mexican border with troops regardless of the courts or congress. Do it President Trump. Lock the southern border down until Mexico cleans up the cartels, place individual sanctions on all crooked, cartel-linked politicians, businessmen, and corporations.

I agree. Trump has that authority as the commander-in-chief. He can’t use troops to, say, patrol Oklahoma’s border with Kansas. But he sure as heck can use troops to secure a national border. That’s the purpose of an army in the first place!
Trump has been bold with many issues. So I’m a bit puzzled as to why he doesn’t do as you suggested above.
