-I don't know about universities but I "did" know about US military border operations.
-The US military has been "Supporting" border operations for at least two decades that I personally know about (you history buffs out there could probably find incidents back to "Posse" writing in teh 19th century). Initially, the support in the 1990s was for anti-drug operations. Yes it ran into "Posse" opposition but as far as I know was never ruled on. JTF-6 (Joint Task Force 6) was set up outside of Fort Bliss in the 1990's and provided recon to detect, track, and stop drug operations. These intl ops (which included boots on patrol) were done in "coordination and support" of civilian organizations. In the past decade these ops have also been used to support illegal immigration interdiction operations,
-Back in the spring of 2009, you'll probably remember that mexicans were even coming across the border on raids into the US. Obama was pushed on what would be his response. He said if necessary he would "call up" National Guard troops and "deploy' US military forces if necessary to "forcibly" stop cross-border operations by any Mexicans. He apparantly was not concerned about the "posse" crowd. The problem has temporarily been quieted thru diplomatic ops with Mexico, ..which of course get their power by the "threat" of using US military power.
-US military forces have been, are now, and will be used in the future if necessary to secure our borders, ---period!!!!!
