There is no program. and I agree. the Army does not want it and the President does not want it. maybe not this President. but I do not want to hear any more about 10.000 troops. I was advised in the amendment to set a limit. and I did. The Traficant amendment does not mandate one troop. They might send 100 specialists with sophisticated technology. They could set up teams to work with the Border Patrol. If it is fashioned and done right. these military agents and Border Patrol in teams would go out. and the Traficant amendment says there shall be no posse comitatus law violations. They cannot arrest. they can only detain. What is wrong with us here?
