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

[Coyote]

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???

BlackFlag:
1. New Orleans was hit by a Cat-5 hurricane. There were power lines down statewide. It took five days to get thru the mess. You must have no clue what a disaster area looks like. Everyone was working as fast as possible while working safely, it took five days, deal with it instead of whining about it.

2. PR's power grid was a basket case before the hurricane hit, it was replaced as quickly as possible, quit whining about a massive reconstruction project that was done as expeditiously as possible.
How fast could you replace the towers and lines from helicopters? It is very dangerous work.


Inspecting power lines in PR, hundreds of miles of lines and support structures needed to be fabricated and replaced.

I know several politicians are under charges for theft of gov property. I seem during the clean up and getting the power back on, they noticed the lack of wire and equipment. They tracked most of the stuff in warehouses owned by the local politicians. Looks like they stole the stuff and was planning to resale it later to the government. Shame on them

MILLIONS of bottles of water were also found in storage.

I do support the Military to protect the border!

They've been sneaking in here across the Mexican border for years now. These bad actors were caught in 2015..

Agents nab Pakistanis with terrorist connections crossing U.S. border

Perhaps in the future, you would consider doing a bit of research before posting such ignorance.

Never stopped you.

Blackflag's point (while I think it is not an apples to apples comparison) still stands.

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

A question as ignorant as it is stupid.

A ‘terrorist’ and an ‘enemy combatant’ are not necessarily the same thing; and an ‘enemy combatant’ manifests solely in the context of war, where someone participates as an illegal fighter.

We are not ‘at war’ with Central American migrants.

Seeking to enter the United States as a refugee is not an ‘act of war,’ nor is entering the United States absent authorization an ‘act of war’ if one is seeking asylum.

This ‘caravan’ nonsense is a ridiculous rightwing lie, a desperate Trump contrivance intended to exploit the fear, ignorance, bigotry, and nativism common to most on the right.

The Central American migrants do not pose a ‘threat,’ they are not ‘terrorists,’ where the use of the military would be as reprehensible as it would be wrong.

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.

They are being used, Intel personnel have integrated into the Mob, spanish speaking Americans who are Mexican are gathering info on who the leader are and what type of directions are being given. This was smart.

Spanish speaking Americans who are Mexican? WTF, over?

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.

The Montana based company restored the main grid across the mountains in about 6 weeks........along with the coastal road contract.........they then turned it over to the Puerto Power Company...........who failed miserably............

The Montana based company went in for little down..........Got the contract through Puerto Rico........and not FEMA........then got stiffed on the bill.............Because they were bankrupt and were told FEMA would pay it. But the contract had to be approved by FEMA first..........aka they got screwed royally.

A 500 Megawatt Generator was put in in San Juan within about 3 weeks......which gave major places there power within a month...........along with Generators to critical places across the country...........Forget how many..........but another problem happened with other Generators........they had to have a permit and pay for installing these Generators by the Puerto Rican Gov't..........who wouldn't approve til they got their palms greased...............holding up Generator installs for Clinics and small hospitals..........all by the Puerto Rican Gov't......

The Truck driver problem was simple...........the Truck drivers wanted to make sure they got paid..........and knew the Gov't would stiff them......because they were broke. Forcing FEMA to actually delivery to every location instead of the Puerto Rican National Guard. They had set up 13 major staging locations and the supplies flooded in..............bottlenecked by the ineptness of the Puerto Rican Gov't and National Guard.........

Those who stayed in New Orleans were told as the hurricane approached that if they stayed they would be on their own. Talk to Ray Nagin, who is currently in prison, and Kathleen Blanco, who delayed federal aid to the area and is currently doing nothing..

Puerto Pico's power grid was shot long before their hurricane arrived. It essentially had to be rebuilt from scratch.

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.

If we can’t secure our border, of course the military should be used.

Just a thought.....the immigration laws on the books should be followed.
