It is up to national guard and state militias. The problem is, once on the border and in that occupation of security, they come under the same laws our military does and they cannot bare arms legally at that point.


It is F'ed up.

Someone tried to explain it to me, and I just shook my head.

Unbelievable, isn't it? We can't use force on our own soil to protect our own borders.

If you're talking about posse comitatus, that only applies to the military being prohibited from being used on US soil against US citizens, it does NOT preclude the military being engaged on US soil to repel foreign invaders.
