"Why a law exists doesn't matter if you can twist the original intent to do something else?"
Yes. The 2nd Amendment allows us to bear arms, but for some reason we can't own ballistic warheads, or even rocket launchers or just an anti-aircraft gun. Something to do with applying that Amendment to todays existing situation instead of re-writing that Amendment, and we all know how people here feel about re-writing that one.
Posse Comitatus was implemented to apply to Americans, at the time, but as it is written it limits the use of military, without taking the steps being done now, of integrating and being used as domestic law enforcement.
CPB and ICE are domestic law enforcement. No invasion stops that from being true.
CBP and ICE are getting assistance from the US military because nobody that allocates resources considers this an invasion. No amount of typing invasion and complaining to your friends changes that.
So if CBP and ICE are domestic law enforcement, and the military is integrating and implementing resource allocation as designated by ICE and CBP, the US military is assisting domestic law enforcement.
If they said it was drug interdiction then it would be a different story, because Posse Comitatus as its applied today, because drug trafficking changed after the law was written, allows for US military resources to be allocated without House direct involvement for drug interdiction.
So keep crying invasion and see if that works, or see if calling it drug interdiction, which is permissable, allows for more resource allocation.
