He (Biden) once again talked about more troops for the borders to prevent the terrorists from coming in.

More democratic party smoke and BS.
Biden let them drill too many hair transplant holes too deep.

I'd like to see some reporters get up to date on that subject so they can ask the pertinent questions.

Under the law, as presently written, only National Guard troops could maybe be used for such duty and then only under the command of the governor, and even that would be subject to intense legal review.

As soon as you federalize the NG it becomes subject to The Posse Comitatus Act which prohibits the use of our military forces for domestic law enforcement. The bottom line is the federal government cannot use troops for this purpose.

Now let's say Biden wises up and proposes to repeal The Act, where does he propose to get the troops to secure ten thousand miles of borders?
I know. He would increase the manning levels of our armed forces like we did last month.
This is bad joke. Worse, it is a hoax and a fraud being perpetrated on America by the likes of Biden and Hillary.

I wonder how many members of their families are serving in America's defense.
