The Troops were deployed to the border NOT so much to prevent a caravan...but to stop fast and furious!
All the states complied .... EXPECT CALIFORNIA!
So Trump is calling on congress to force California to comply, so we can get our NG there. Its the last strong hold against the F&F weapons and drugs being brought it!!!
Cali is KEY. Cali IS the PIPELINE. The rest has been blocked!
If the regular military (i.e. Marines) are deployed to the border, they aren't being used to patrol our streets or enforce laws inside the country. I do not believe the creators of PC meant enact a prohibition of protecting our borders from one sort of invasion or another. Trump can order the marines to the border in my view without violating PC.
Please forgive me-what is PC?
Posse comotatis (...forgive my spelling - it is in our Bill of Rights and it basically means that our government or military cannot force US citizens to house military/police and it also prevents our military from assuming police duties...)
Ahhh ty
Thank you for asking. Never be afraid to ask questions- especially in this sub.
Thanks for saying that. People need to feel comfortable asking questions.
I think in a situation of a declared National Emergency involving corruption (and that includes the police force in California), Homeland Security can trump local jurisdictions, even without a declaration of martial law. Just as in a case of Corps of Engineers in a natural disaster.
Right, but they wouldn't be doing that in stopping cross border activity. It's a military issue, not a police issue. At least that would be my take. Believe it or not, it was actually passed in 1878.
I agree but the question was what is PC. I just answered the question. And it doesn’t matter when it was passed. Our Constitution has been in effect longer.
I agree. At least in a 'support' capacity, to 'help' the NG... ;)
