If terrorists are enemy combatants, why can't the military be used?

[Care4all]

If the caravans try to illegally cross the US border, and there are suspected terrorists among them, why can't the US military help collect them and turn them over to be interrogated to be sure that there are no terrorists trying to sneak in???

Posse Comitatus Act - Wikipedia Covers Army and Air Force personnel
The National Guard is exempt from the PCA, if any governors call them up
The Marines are included, but only by adopted Navy regulations, not the PCA.

Do you have a link or any legitimate, factual evidence that the caravan is primarily terrorists?

DOES ANYONE have any proof???

Certainly, there could be some bad guys in the caravan trying to hide behind them, but this takes place, day in and day out at the border and our border patrol is trained to spot them and filter them out from the others seeking humanitarian help...and others that are simply trying to enter illegally for work.

ALSO, as an FYI, it takes CONGRESS to give the President permission to break the Posse Comitatus Act... it's not something the President can just haphazardly do on his own.

Isn't everyone a potential terrorist?

When the try to come here illegally? Yes.

Your buddy mailing bombs to people came here legally right? Was born here...right? As was your other buddy McVeigh? As was your other buddy Root? As was your other buddy Rudolph?

Labeling people (in this case migrants headed north) "potential terrorists" as some sort of cover for militarizing our borders is dishonest. Of course you support it.

Your buddy Mao killed millions. Your buddy Castro as well. Your buddies MS13 kill a bunch. So should we let those types in as well? You have no idea who the hell these people are. Yet instead of erring on the safe side you want to invite them into your house. Get your head out of your ass.

Well I named Americans; you named people who are not. Your head is so far up your ass you shit dandruff.

Thread topic: Illegal aliens

Our discussion: Let them in without thorough background checks or not.


If you can’t follow a conversation or thread subject go back to watching Blues Clues reruns and get off the fucking message boards.

Perhaps someone can read the title and poll question to your illiterate ass; neither of which mentions illegal aliens. PS: fuck you

Wrong.

On Oct. 25, 2005, the House of Representatives and Senate enacted a joint resolution (H. CON. RES. 274) clarifying Congress' stance on the effect of the Posse Comitatus Act on the use of the military on U.S. soil. In part, the resolution states "by its express terms, the Posse Comitatus Act is not a complete barrier to the use of the Armed Forces for a range of domestic purposes, including law enforcement functions, when the use of the Armed Forces is authorized by Act of Congress or the President determines that the use of the Armed Forces is required to fulfill the President's obligations under the Constitution to respond promptly in time of war, insurrection, or other serious emergency."

Personally, I don't care if there are NO terrorists. I don't care if it's 4000 giggling toddlers grasping Pooh dolls and sippy-cups as they walk.

They have no right to enter the country at will. We have the right to stop them.

Are you out of your mind? Do you even care about human rights?

If the military can stop and detain and interrogate ANYONE crossing the border just in case they are suspected terrorists? What is to stop them from detaining and interrogating any tourist they wish? Including relatives of Americans? Will it stop there or will it one day include all Americans whom the government 'suspects'? The military could go abroad and 'detain' a suspected American and takes him/her to Gitmo (or somewhere unknown) to be interrogated? Or a friend of an American?

Your idea is completely insane and TOTALLY un-American.


Don't bother replying - I will not waste my time reading it. You are completely out to lunch on this, obviously.


We are done here.

Good day.

Look at the poll results kid, the majority approves using the military to defend the border. Your stupid whiny rant is total nonsense. I care about human rights, American human rights.

Come on!

It was a RIGGED poll question.... by you putting in terrorist and not refugees....

Read it again.... the president can't do crud, unless a time of war or insurrection or something really really really serious, like an armed attack.

Calling refugees terrorists or enemy combatants is simply bull crud lies and is the twisting of the actual meaning of those terms beyond even Gumby's belief!

The determination of "serious emergency" is solely at the discretion of the President.

Do you enjoy being thickheaded for the sheer sake of it?

I do not think there is anything in the law that sais National guard can not be used. It is not a can't thing. It is a waiste of money thing. We have border patrol and ICE fully funded and more than capable of handling the situation. It is nothing more than a political stunt to send them down there.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Why?

Insurrection is freedom's last stand against a tyrant's army.

Let a tyrant send an army. The American people will wipe their asses with them.

The hero worship is already way out of hand as it is, and now we're celebrating legislation saying the military can kill dissenters? Phhht. It'll get 1776 like a mofo, garanteeed.

We're due.

If you started using the military to go after terrorists, the American right wing would be screaming like stuck pigs.

Don't see any figures on the Woman who hates husband or girl who hates boyfriend.

There’s a difference between hate and murder. Republicans have both hate and murder.
