From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of East L.A.!

Trump Deploys 500-700 Marines to Help Squash Anti-ICE Los Angeles Riots

I am mindful of the invasion of Grenada by the Marines during the Reagan years. The media painted it as American imperialism but when the students at the med school there got home they literally kissed the ground. The Marines saved their lives.

Granted these Marines will mostly be in support roles, but if they have to go into the fray this is exactly the kind of fighting Marines are trained to do. If nothing else it puts the Left in the unenviable position of hating on American troops (which is why they were so adamant that nothing be sent, and failing that just some poorly trained National Guardsman.)

No doubt Judge Bozoberg, er, Boasberg, is preparing an injunction as we speak, but should still come out ahead politically for this action. I have little doubt some Democrat judge will issue an injunction against this as a violation of Posse Comitatus.

That's why these Marines will see no action. They are there purely as a show of force.

And this will force the Democrats to attack the U.S. Marine Corps (that's pronounced CORE Mr. Obama.) Americans aren't going to like that.
