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

You can't have the legions under arms on the border. They may be tempted to cross the Rubicon. Keep them safely in the contested territories and leave the homeland in the charge of the Praetorians. That's the best bet.

We can also help keep BPH rookie wannabes under control from harassing (illegal search and seizures) U.S. citizens while illegals slip across the border

Absolutely not. All military except for the National Guard and Coast Guard have absolutely no authority to operate on U.S. soil except during times of martial law and/or if we are being actively invaded on CONUS soil. Using the military as something besides a force for fighting wars is the first step on a slippery slope in creating a military police state, which is completely unacceptable.

In the short term it might seem like a good idea, but the militarization of any law enforcement office is not something that this Republic wants nor needs.

Active duty does ensure the safety of our nation; however it shouldn't be used to secure the borders unless we are at war with Canada or Mexico and we actually fear a potentially devastating invasion. We merely need to increase the border patrol where needed to secure the borders.

It is illegal for the active military to enforce laws except on its own military bases. There is a law called The Posse Comitatus Act. The purpose of the Act – in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 – is to limit the powers of the federal government in using its military personnel to act as domestic law enforcement personnel. While it does not specifically mention the Department of the Navy, the Navy's regulations adhere to the Act.

While I would love to see our borders secure, using our active duty personnel to do so would severely weaken our ability to react to threats from foreign entities.

Quit playing B.S. political games and make DHS and DOJ do their jobs and pull their weight in keeping this nation secure on ALL of our borders!

This sounds highly unlikely I mean seeing that we have leaders that want to open our border. Then again it sounds like something our contradictory leaders would do. They want to give more responsibility to our military but take away funding...

I have no issue with doing a rotation on our borders.

Let that boarding state take care of that along with federal assets and funding, but if there was oil there, we'd be there.
