>Now you know one of the reasons the army is forbidden from being deployed on US soil. I don't know where people get this idea but I assume it's a charitable interpretation of the Posse Comitatus Act. In the hypothetical, yet entirely plausible, scenario where one or several South American governments collapses and a migrant crisis reaches the Southern Border of course the military could and would be deployed. As for the Act itself, it has many exceptions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act
