Maria_Hinojosa WHO ARE THE INVADERS ?
Disgusting waste of money...
But why
Good to know.
That law prevents US military from performing law enforcement against US citizens NOT invaiding people
All to stop a shrinking caravan that won't reach the border for two more months
In other words, it's a charade.
What will they be doing for the next 6-8 weeks waiting for these people to show up?
Supporting Actor roles, in a trump-produced, republican campaign ad
Insanity reigns
How much are these shenanigans costing the American people.
It’s either illegal or basically a show of “strength” which means it’s all about a showy meaningless act. So right before Election Day Trump gets his super expensive military parade. And the usual “govt overreach! pork barrel!” Shrieking types are lapping it up. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
It's not law enforcement it's protecting the border from an invasion ...
The timing is suspicious. They’ll be in Texas in Election Day. Texas has a lot of reports of votes changing to another candidate at the polls. I’m not sure this has anything to do with immigrants who won’t arrive until December.
How long until they go full fascist?
Waste of taxpayer money. All a show for votes. What some people will do for power...
The ARMY’s primary job is to defend our borders from our enemies. They ARE allowed to operate as soldiers on the ground in the country if we are invaded. They can not be used on OUR citizens; invading migrants ARE NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!

This opinion of President Donald Trump trying to resist them, that he is a decent man once in a while! (lol) its so,
The children will appreciate facing heavy armed US military under ICE direction ushered into incarceration system what an accomplishment
what could possibly go wrong?
Waste of money
anblanx Like the national guard then. They were in a support mode. Perhaps they'll all link arms to make a human border.
Yeah, let’s see how long that lasts
Never in modern history a President has played such blatant partisan role, creating a “problem” that doesn’t exist to stoke voters & change course of a federal election. By same token, never has a President been an avowed tax cheater, women’s molester & traitor. GOP owns Trump.
Not necessarily...
This will not end well.
I guess we'll see what other laws POTUS is sure to ignore. Posse Comitatus won't stop him from issuing some dictatorial edict. It remains to be seen if our military leaders have the integrity to refuse to act on orders from an irrational, amoral POTUS. XXV.
Calculated and deliberate misuse of presidential power to swing a federal election in favor of his party.
Careful using a word like 'posse' around Trump, he might misunderstand
One more spectacular show, one more spectacular waste of our tax dollars
Trump political trick, and like most of Trumps fantasies a load of 💩.
Wow. You guys are kinda naive there right?
notladymary It’s a shiny distraction. He is trying to rile up his base. He is trying to tamper with Election Day.
So it’s a waste of my tax dollars?
Sounds like (A) a huge waste of resources, (B) orange crush does not know about Posse Comitatus Act, and (C) a clusterf*ck waiting to happen.
So basically it's just a Political / Media Event. Why not schedule an Air Show along with it & Maybe throw a few tanks into the mix?
It’s all for show! BS as usual.
American immigration laws are exactly the way globalists like them!
Stormfront is allowed to operate still but let's focus on this
Crazy!!!!
How stupid is this!!!!!
Right just armed tho.
Unlike California, which is being unhelpful.
Thank g-d
That’s not what I heard
So, even though it’s against the law and is unnecessary, our dip-shit President is going to do it any way to protect us from refugees that pose absolutely zero threat. Got it. Man, I don’t know how to handle all the winning and how great we are now. It’s almost too much.
I remember getting deployed as ‘support only’ and having to carry around a gun with a magazine in it with no bullets.
Why send at all We've already had enough violence There is no national security crisis
True, in theory. But the Enforcement Acts allow for circumventing the law. The Posse Comitatus Act did nothing to stop the Ohio National Guard from killing unarmed student protesters at the Kent State massacre in 1970.
Is this how “conservatives” spend taxpayer dollars! It’s time to add up how much this Administration is costing Americans!
Big fat waste of money
That’s true npr dem havks
Will this deployment cost less than that stupid parade idea?
It’s all fear-mongering for 45’s base. No practical or moral purpose for our military there.
It’s a phot op people.
This is a horrible waste of resources and worse, a crazy drumming up of drama meant to incite more violence. VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt
“Support only” wtf does that even mean
A waste of funding and effort.
Where will the troops be housed? What will their support duties be? How are they trained for their duties?
The whole things a fucking ruse...This...The GOP's October SURPRISE!...
This is the Trump Show. 💯drama!! All for the ratings. All for the mid terms. I hope no one dies.
WTF are they doing when the migrants are 1000 miles away? What does the Posse Comitatus Act say about using the military for political posturing before an election? What do members of the military think about being used like this? votevets VoteBlue
We're deploying the U.S. military to the border in brigade strength for midterm votes. (WTF?... no wonder Kelly punched Bolton ;-)
This country is a joke. Vote.
So, you're saying this is all for show in the hopes of ginning up a few more votes? Tell us something we didn't know. Caravan
You mean they’re being deployed for a) show, or b) unlawful use, then, right?
5,000!!!! WTAF?
That sounds like a very good use of my taxpayer dollars. Really, it does.
We're borrowing money for this?
OperationFaithfulPatriot DogWhistle Bullshit
So basically 5,000 Americans will miss Thanksgiving with their families so the President can pull off a political stunt before mid-terms. Got it.
Build the Wall POTUS
Against a group on foot primarily made up of women and children. This is not what makes America great.
They shouldn't be there at all. This is an egregious abuse of power. Troops have no business being deployed within a state's borders.
