Should active duty military be used to secure the borders and ensure the safety of our nation?

If ordered by POTUS, yes. But, this issue should be handled by Border Patrol and local units of Natl. Guard.

I shall first assume you are talking about illegal immigration since that is what most "securing the borders" rhetoric focuses around. If we actually enforce the laws on the books against the corporations that hire illegal immigrants and implement a system of worker visas/permit, the problem would quickly resolve itself. But that cuts into corporate profits and is bad for the big donors bottom line, so such enforcement activities have historically been quickly shut down.

Other countries do why not us?

I absolutely think it would be a good idea. It would also be good training on such skills as reconnaissance.

The problem is two fold politicians want more voters instead of safer citizens. The second problem is that big business wants cheaper labor so they can make bigger profits which in turn makes for bigger bonuses for the millionaires. We all know who REALLY runs the United States. So illegals will end up winning were as legal U.S. citizens will end up getting the short end of the stick (less jobs, more crime, bigger national debt.

You need to understand the law. American military cannot be used on American soil. Hence the National Guard. Title X.

Activate the national guard, arm them, and use them. Their mission is protection of their states and the homeland. Posse comitatus forbids the use of federal troops. Granted holes big enough to drive a bus through

I live 6 miles from the Canadian border. I thought that was one of the reasons they made and put all that money into the drones that are up along the border to protect it. There are so many veterans that live up here that many of us keep our eyes and ears open. We fight to keep our gun rights so we can help protect our borders here too. And it doesn't cost the government money to do it. Maybe to have a few with one commander to do organized meetings would be ok. Then they could also attend our American legion meetings to keep us veterans posted as well. Even tho we are not still in the military a veterans heart is still the same as when he joined to protect the people and our country. But I would say a commander of the national guards would work and national guards could do it too.But I just got my Amercan Legion magzine and have a new discussion to make that may interest some of you who do not get the magazine or maybe have not read or heard of it yet.

I think this would be an excellent mission for the National Guard. As others have said, Posse Comitatus law prevents federal forces or National Guard mobilized under title 10 from being employed in a law enforcement role. However National Guard troops mobilized under title 32 are exempt. The biggest issue would be funding, as Title 32 mobilizations are typically funded by the respective state. My second biggest concern would be the ROE and role ARNG troops would take. If we're not going to issue ammunition when dealing with drug cartels or allow actual arrests to be made there is no point.
