Obama sending 1,200 U.S. troops to U.S. Mexican Border to assist in law enforcement in spite of Posse Comitatus Act

The Obama administration has decided to send 1200 U.S. troops to the U.S.-Mexican border after pressure from Americans to take action against the massive flow of illegals into the U.S. This move by Obama pre-empts a Republican effort to force a congressional vote for troops to guard the border.

Perhaps the Arizona decision to enforce immigration laws has put Obama and the administration in a difficult position, therefore pushing them to take action, only is this action right for America? Arizona Senator John McCain spoke in congress asking for 6,000 troops saying "the guard troops on the border in the past, have had a very salutory effect, and that's why we need 6,000 of them until such time as we can train up additional border patrol and customs people to address this issue."



The National Guard Troops "will work on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support, analysis and training, and support efforts to block drug trafficking. They will temporarily supplement Border Patrol agents until Customs and Border Protection can recruit and train additional officers and agents to serve on the border," according to a letter Tuesday from top administration security officials to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich. (Huffington Post)

Once again it seems we are being duped through fear and intimidation to slowly give up our liberties under the guise of "security". In spite of the law of Posse Comitatus, Obama and all of Congress whether Democrat or Republican, are expecting us to accept the idea of allowing for the violation of the 132 year old law, which protects us from tyrannical rule, in order to protect us from illegals crossing the border. If given the choice between the two, I would rather take my chances with the illegals who are crossing!

The Law of Posse Comitatus was passed  in 1878 with the intention of substantially limiting 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, Navy, 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. -Wikipedia

It seems the establishment media in concert with the monster with two heads(Democrat-Republican), has pushed us once again into a situation where both parties are giving the same choice, only in two degrees - poison, or double dose of poison! Using Hegelian dialect they have once again used conflict to bring about a further step in establishing a third world police state move here in our country - Military troops on the border - only the troops are on our side of the border and not on the Mexican side!

Although we are certainly being overrun by desperate Hispanics who want to escape a despotic form of government in Mexico, they are not a military force, and therefore do not need the U.S. Army at the border to greet them. This is just another stage in the desensitization of the American people to accept the presence of the military in Law enforcement positions here within our borders!

Whether it be 6,000 or only 1,200 U.S. troops, it is definitely against Posse Comitatus and should not be happening. We cannot let fear overide good judgement and constitutional rule. I do believe however, that we should have properly trained border patrol agents on the border to keep out Illegals, only, this should have happened long before now.
