Posse Comitatus at the border is nonsense. Facts:

1978 - Posse Comitatus Act

1916 - Battle of Columbus (New Mexico) - US military used against Mexican civilians at border and inside Mexico w/o Declaration of War. This was followed by not only Pershing’s military expedition into Mexico, but the stationing of 100,000 troops at the bordered - armed and loaded for action.

1918 - Battles of Ambos Nogales (Arizona) - US military used against Mexican military & civilians w/o Declaration of War against Mexico

Mattis said the author to use lethal force has NOT been approved. And further more, HE has the authority to authorize it.

Trump needs to lay down the law and tell these anti trumpers they will NOT talk to the press

Mattis just broke the UCMJ by giving our plans to the enemy. He should at least be fired cause the uproar from the dems and rinos if he were to be charged with treason would be off the scale.

Illegals have been using lethal force at the border for decades. They lay out traps and snares to intentionally hurt Border Patrol agents. They have shot at agents and the little "rocks" the media claims they throw are concrete block sized chunks like the one that killed a motorist today.

Too many times the BP agents are punished for defending against this instead of being allowed to defend themselves.

100% behind this. Let it be known throughout the invading force. When they test it, and they undoubtedly will be instructed to try it by the globalists pulling the strings, they must follow through.

Photo taken in Brownsville Texas showing some of the more than 100,000 military troops, sent by Democrat President Wilson, to patrol our Mexican border when he also sent General "Blackjack" Pershing's "punitive expedition" into Mexico.

Four decades after the Posse Camitatus Act went into effect. And nobody raised the FAKE issue of Posse Comitatus applying to the protection of our sovereign borders!
