Our radio show on how the military is dispensed to border control and what the legal system says

Acceptable legal military involvement allowed at the border based on 1898 law called Posse Comitatus. 
We will discuss federal jurisdiction in President Trump's choices of in immigration enforcement. He wants to siphon off some of the military personnel to monitor the border.  Most military personnel cannot be called upon to regulate civilian control even near the border unless it is a crisis or natural disaster.
 We will discuss the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 and how that base law relates to what the military can respond to in terms of these types of civilian problems.
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 rewritten under the Obama administration, modified the scope of military response to handle our enemies.  It broadened some roles of the military and border patrol in tracking defined 'real enemies' as defined by the Dept. of the State.
The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act:

The Act authorizes funding "for the defense of the United States and its interests abroad". In a statement, President Obama described the Act addressing national security programs, Department of Defense counter terrorism within the US and abroad. It broadened the definition of who could be sought out along the border and held regarding our enemy.

A person who was a affiliated with the al-Qaeda, Taliban or associated forces and are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces will be subject to investigation, arrest at the border and confinement.  

These types of enemies who are a direct to our nation will be tracked by all branches of military and intelligence.

Our guest caller is Mike Peters from NY who has been a regular on our show and directly is involved in assisting the U.S. military servicemen and servicewomen.
