firing 600 rounds a minute. Cuts down on the manpower and adds the safety of distance ...

I believe the Defense Authorization Act of 2015 (not sue of date) specifically permit POTUS to use the military in defense of a[-our borders - invasion is not the same as migration. If those were the same, then there is nothing to stop any foreign power from sending its troops into the US since they could simply claim they are immigrants.
The author conflates invasion with immigration to garner sympathy and to rose public opinion against POTUS and use of the US military to protect the country from invasion and maintain the security of the US.
A handful of people crossing the border could be immigrants - 10,000 or more waving flags of other nations is an invasion, regardless of the women and children being used as shields (like Saddam did before Gulf 1).
If he needs the military to protect the border from the migrant caravan invasion, so be it.
As they say, where there’s a Willa there’s a way. 8>)
You don’t have to shoot them, just make temporary camp
The question is how much resources do you want to tie up along the border and for how long? Camps mean an indefinite time as there are always more arriving, live fire means it over with in a day or less with no more coming.
Posse comitus does not apply to American forces defending the border from positions inside the failed Mexican state. The posse comitas act does not prevet the use of American troops within the occupied state of Hondouras where a military occupation government has been established.
The US Marines have a long and successful history of operations in central America, including the capture and occupation of the Halls of Montezuma during the presidency of James K Polk. The successful establishment and operatio of a military government has precedent in Japan.
Hizbollah is. It's fair to describe them as a foreign power as well as a terror group given their control of Lebanon and decades of actions as an Iranian proxy. Including in our hemisphere
Capture every mothers son of them that step on us soil
Put the prisoners of war to work on the Wall.
See how easy?
Yes, their financiers. We hear very little about them. I always thought financing criminal activity was illegal.
No, they lack the skills to build the wall.
Pack them into trailers and haul them back to Occupied Hondouras
From where the invaders just busted into Mexico I make it as approximately 1140 miles to even just the southern tip of Texas. The invaders seem to be walking - at least in all the pictures we've been allowed to see so far. Even at a *very* aggressive 20 miles per day that's 55+ days or mid December before they hit the border. 20 miles a day walking is probably very optimistic. They have to set up and break camp each day, carry what few possessions they are bringing with (other than an appetite for democratic handouts), forage for food and water, etc. More likely on foot over long distances like this they are not even making 10 miles per day.
Maybe they are getting motorized transport we're not seeing? Even just a couple dozen buses could run in relays and move them 40 or 50 miles in a day.
Or maybe the plan is to force a crisis before they reach the border. "Oh look, thousands of stranded refugees, we *must* help them!..."
If President Trump deploys the military to repel this invasion - as he not only should but must... Then he will cement a mid-term sweep for Republicans and his second term. Besides, it would be worth the cost of the deployment just to see liberals' heads come off, spin around, then explode.
The problem is that the money comes from corporations owned by corporations owned by corporations owned by corporations.
Repel this crap invaders with tear gas etc. Get our military down on the Border to take care of this. Our military can disrupt the cartels and their communications.
I would start send them down this week. Get them briefed and ready. We need a large permanent Army base near the Mexican border. Call it the military HQ to coordinate and keep invaders from entering.
To rally Democrat voters and achieve a "Blue Wave"
Soros and the rest of the commies have staged this to create an incident where American troops/police will be forced to use deadly force to stop the invasion. They are hoping for a significant loss of life, all dutifully recorded live by the MSM, to create another “Kent State” narrative.
If the Wall gets built, and I pray that it will, some judge will issue an Order that any “migrant” who so much as touches the wall is now on US soil. They would therefore be entitled to claim asylum and cross the wall until they have exhausted the “refugee” application and appeal process. The left hates America and will use every weapon in their arsenal to destroy it.
1000’s of people crashing and then wanting free govt services (remember how much each student costs). In addition, there are probably 500 gang members in that crowd. Imagine how much violence they will cause
Yet all the news can talk about is the Turkish journalist killed by the Saudis
baloney, others will go around. it’s a huge border and as word gets to thru the mob they make other plans for groups of it.
but if it makes you feel safe keep posting these things - like the heat dish on the truck i’s just a deterrent - but we need solid way to keep them out.
Yeah, but the example holds - please don’t minimize it or change the subject. Hezbollah is not storming our border with 10,000 troops at the moment.
Isn’t this sort of thing exactly why we have a military, to begin with? Aren’t they supposed to protect our borders from an invasion?
That these people may not be carrying weapons, it sure looks like an invasion force to me. The army is there to protect the homeland from exactly this sort of thing. Posse Comitatus is for use against American citizens, not foreign invaders.
Posse comitus does not apply to American forces operating in Mexico
