Quote:PCA is only part of it, but is still the central issue. Border security is a law enforcement matter overseen by DHS and none of those entities are considered LEOs in that regard. Yes, it's been done before, but now that DHS and Customs considers any spot within 100 miles of an entry point to be their jurisdiction I'm not comfortable with the idea at all. Giving the military or National Guard detention powers in San Diego or Ft Lauderdale? No thanks.

 

They couldn't detain citizens.  Law enforcement would have to do that.  You could even make exceptions in major cities or have DHS exclusivity at major roadways and check points.  Regular citizens shouldn't be coming through on foot or through tunnels.  Let the military handle that.  It would be significantly more effective than a wall.  Probably cheaper, too.
