I have never understood the quirkiness of the U.S being one of the few countries not to use it’s military to defend it’s borders. Just seems so weird. Be like defending everyone else’s doorways, but leaving your own wide open. Crazy. Is it a constitution thing? Please explain
Only rationale I can possibly see is posse comitatus act but unsure.
Under the Constitution the US government has no duty to protect the borders of any of the States except in time of war.
But the Democrats of course tell us that the States themselves are not aloud to do it.
