There is your answer.
(a) The Army and other armed forced SHOULD be stationed on our borders:
(1) Peace and security in our own country has fallen thanks to open borders that allow anyone from anywhere to walk right in.
(2) What we are doing now is NOT working, something must change.
(3) Our main objective is to rid the US of unwanted people who are living here illegally.
(4) Illegals from everywhere are invading our country. Invasion is an act of aggression and should be dealt with in order to restore the peace and security to the people of the United States.
(i) Because the percentage of illegals are from south of our border, these borders should be heavily fortified with military presence.
The Border Patrol can do little to prevent illegal crossing because they have insufficient tools to combat the day by day invasion.
This is like asking if there is a god or not....lol...noone can answer lol. But yes something needs to be done, i can handle a good handful but ish is getting ridiculous!
It makes little sense to have an army if they won't do their job.
The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (today the Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain "law and order" on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) within the United States.
The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Act during peacetime.
