Border Patrol and Customs are federal agents. And the reason why a reasonable, knowledgeable person wouldn't deploy the National Guard for border duty is because it's call up duty (a) and (b) the training a deployment would not only be counterproductive to their primary mission..backing up the Army but also impact their role in emergency response.Federal agents can be used as can the National Guard. Posse Comitatus only applies to active duty US military forces in Title 10 status.
I suppose it's like everything where Johnny-come-lately's join a discussion after the fact. Of course there was a circumstance at one point in our country where some parts of history were omitted or under-served.I still haven't seen a coherent, rational reply that explains why we needed a "black history" class in the first place. History is history, unless the classes were being used to further some other agenda *cough* politics *cough*.
We really need to come to fulfill Dr. King's Dream of looking at each other without seeing color. Classes like this, while probably started with the best of intentions, only seek to keep us from living that Dream and divide us.
Well..that is a dream that people won't see the distinctions race and ethnicity represent.
But all we need to do as Americans is live up to the "Pledge of Allegiance" where our nation stands for "...liberty and justice for all." That'll do.:2 cents:
