  • Trump weighs mobilizing nat guard for immigration roundups



    The Trump administration is considering a proposal to mobilize as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants, including millions living nowhere near the Mexico border, according to a draft memo obtained by The Associated Press.

    The 11-page document calls for the unprecedented militarization of immigration enforcement as far north as Portland, Oregon, and as far east as New Orleans, Louisiana.

      I have an issue with this too. National Guard has no place doing this. These weekend warriors do not have the training or experience, and will undoubtedly violate some rights along the way.

      I'm a little more okay with them patrolling the border, but even that is questionable without significant and specific training..

      I'm not saying that illegals should be left alone, or shouldn't be deported, but this is not the way it should be done.

          The article was written by a Berkeley grad and is completely unsubstantiated. I want to see the memo.

            Activating the organized militia to repel an invasion would be a proper use of his Article 2 authority.

                You don't have rights if you're not a citizen.

                I do understand that a few dolphins will get caught in the tuna net, just pay them out a little bit of hush money and set them free.

                  With that logic Citizens don't have rights either...

                    DHS and The angry little press secretary saying it's BS, no truth to it.

                    I'm betting it was deliberately trotted around to find the leak.

                        I'm talking about citizens.. And I disagree. If there is a disperate impact on ANY citizens, then it needs to stop.

                        It's the fucking 4th amendment. How do they even justify this?

                          C'mon man, even you must acknowledge that is a HUGE stretch.

                              Well that's easy. First you...

                              Seriously, do you actually expect a legitimate answer? There will be no simple solution. But just because there isn't a great solution, that doesn't mean you institute the solution that likely violates constitutional rights of US Citizens.
