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

The question is worded in a way that may get many to respond yes, but actually, that's not the job of the active duty force. We have the the agents and the laws to protect our borders, but we don't have competent policy makers to enforce the laws we have. I personally know a former Border Patrol Agent who says finish the damn fence and oh by the way they could use some more predator drones. Our active force has been sequestered down to bare bones, they don't need this headache.

Other countries have no problem with using the military as border guarding and even police force.

However I think our founding fathers were a little skeptical about having the military throwing heavy weight in country. They really seamed to like to spread out the power.

I don't think they should do it as a police action. I have always thought we should invade Mexico militarily and make them a US territory like Guam. Rid the country of the major drug cartels and government corruption. stabilize the areas. and move border operations to mexico's southern border. The southern border of mexico is about 700 miles long, ours is around 2100 miles. Maybe we could do a better job with less ground to cover.

I mean... The Coast Guard already does, at least on the water. Why not give some other services something to do in the homeland? Or, maybe expand the Coast Guard's authority? Eh... The former is a better suggestion.

What would the United States Military be doing in regards of securing the borders? Because if we are afraid Isis terrorist attacks well then we should stop them before they even get off the planes with their U.S passports.

Seems like more of a National Guard mission, in my opinion.

Complicated issue. Law states this is not a military function however, NG is able to operate in this environment.

If any military agency is used it should only be a temporary mission until the government uses new law to solve the issue.

Personally I feel illegal is illegal! Build the wall to slow movement and assist in the security. Right to shoot while attempting to cross illegally. This would stop the problem. Punish buisnesses that hire illegals if they are not reported to the gov agencies. Force illegals to come forward and start the process of documenting, processing and determining whether the person is detained or able to move forward in the immigration process. Special documentation issued at the time of processing which identifies the person and their status. Each illegal will have a timeline to complete the process or be detained (expiration date on ID).

Homeland Security will search all Visa's issued for work and or schools and if the visa has expired with no request to extend an arrest warrant would be issued for that person.

Government review of all schools receiving gov money to insure the institutions carriculem meets certain criteria. Private schools may have a more liberal approach to education as long as it is about education and not an ideology not representing the overthrow of our Constitution or government.

This will encourage them to come forward and be identified and with no identification will be detained and processed by ICE.

Just my $0.02

At this moment, with the size of the US Military and it's downsizing trend, I would say no. However, the National Guard under control of the affected states would be the ideal choice since the US government seems to be incapable of anything but petty bias interfering with the will of the people.

I posted my reasoning, I posted my reasoning in the wrong place as a response to a comment made by Sgt Aaron Kennedy rather than under the question itself by mistake.
