Is there anything under the current interpretation of the Constitution the president can’t do? The answer is no, rendering the Constitution a dead letter. From John W. Whitehead at rutherford.org:
The ease with which Americans are prepared to welcome boots on the ground, regional lockdowns, routine invasions of their privacy, and the dismantling of every constitutional right intended to serve as a bulwark against government abuses is beyond unnerving.
I am referring at this particular moment in time to President Trump’s decision to deploy military forces to the border in a supposed bid to protect the country from invading bands of illegal immigrants.
This latest attempt to bamboozle the citizenry into relinquishing even more of their rights is commonly referred to as letting the wolves guard the henhouse.
We are long past the stage where the government—at any level—abides by restrictions on its powers.
What we are dealing with is a run-away government hyped up on its own power, whose policies are dictated more by paranoia than need.
It works the same in every country.
Time and again, we keep sacrificing our liberties for phantom promises of safety.
The lesson is this: once a free people allows the government to make inroads into their freedoms or uses those same freedoms as bargaining chips for security, it quickly becomes a slippery slope to outright tyranny.
This is fast becoming a government that has no respect for the freedom or lives of its citizenry.
Yet there are warning signs we cannot afford to ignore.
First off, there is no such thing as a “border” in the eyes of these military patrols. The entire United States of America has become a Constitution-free zone.
According to journalist Todd Miller, the “once thin borderline of the American past” is “an ever-thickening band, now extending 100 miles inland around the United States—along the 2,000-mile southern border, the 4,000-mile northern border and both coasts… This ‘border’ region now covers places where two-thirds of the US population (197.4 million people) live… The ‘border’ has by now devoured the full states of Maine and Florida and much of Michigan.”
The U.S. government has also declared that ever-expanding border region a Constitution-free zone.

STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC 
Too bad this clown hasn’t bothered to read either the Constitution or the Federalist papers. Deploying troops along the border was the norm up till the 50s. Its mentioned in the Constituion under national defense, and the military has historically been deployed along its borders.
And this clown thinks that tyranny or exceptional. Can’t you find some 6th grader who wishes to be a writer rather than some ex speech writer for George McGovern?
