"Trump now says the Military will guard "The Border" !!"
Wonder how much that will cost?
My guess would be rather a lot not to mention America's common sense.

I can't wait to see if this is real or not. As soon as Mattis draws up plans. We are a go for containment if this comes true. Marine expeditionary forces and Soldiers + Hardware + FOBs.
DIS GON B GOOD!

How is this good? The second a civilian gets shot it's going to alienate us from most of the world. We'll join Russia in having our economy trashed by sanctions.
Sure it's legal...As long as they stay on their side of the border while they do it...Or border patrol has no obligation to let them cross our border...

Here's the kicker — it's completely legal for asylum seekers to arrive at our border, turn themselves into customs/border patrol and request asylum.
It's literally the proper legal process.
Is the military going to intervene to "secure" us against proper legal process? Nope.

What does he mean by military? The National Guard? Or is he actually talking about deploying the military on US soil?

So there's nothing in there about an "invading force" or foreign nationals? I rest my case. The Insurrection Act and its predecessors limit those exact powers of the President. If you have a problem with that you may want to take it up with Thomas Jefferson.

But as far as I can see it's business as usual in the affected states.
If it's okay for the President to deploy the military this instance then it seems like any moderately sized protest would also warrant a military response.
Are those protesters foreign nationals trying to invade the usa?
It can be declared as such . They made a slight mistake when they stated they had "demands" . That most definitely did not help their case.

Id rather we didn't, military ROE is wildly different than Civilian and when someone gets hurt the military member will be thrown to the wolves and the politicians that enabled the conflict will be left untouched.
