At what point do we put our military on our southern border?

Let's pull them out of these third world countries and let the do what they do well on our own border by protecting our own nation !

caww :" At what point do we put our military on our southern border? "

While that makes common sense, and would be economical,
I believe that to be a violation of " The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 " , which forbids military troops from acting as police.
Technically, such a presence wouldn't be a police action, rather, it would be to end a civilian invasion at the southern border.
