2. For role-playing purposes, you are a senior military advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon. You are being consulted by the Joint Chiefs to determine whether deployment of U.S. military forces at the Canadian and Mexican borders to quell the influx of illegal immigration would constitute a violation of the Posse Comiatatus Act. Briefly, the Department of Defense’s Defense Intelligence Agency has identified a “clear and present” threat that a terrorist faction will infiltrate U.S borders disguised as illegal immigrants, and the sole purpose for this en masse infiltration is to target for sabotage key military installations within the continental U.S. (i.e., the “48 states”). 3. Your position paper needs to address three issues, based on research from U.S. based academic peer reviewed articles from scholarly journals. DO NOT USE as sources the textbook, nor .org, .gov, and .com publications. The three issues your research must address are: (1) Is this use of our federal militia authorized to “repel an invasion” of these suspected terrorists? (2) If Congress supports the decision of the Joint Chiefs to deploy federal militia to the borders, for the specific purpose to thwart a clear and present threat to our national security, will the military be taking on police powers? (3) What legal requirements need to be in place for the Joint Chiefs, and others, to be absolutely protected against being charged and prosecuted for a criminal violation of 18 U.S. Code § 1385? 4. Your “position paper” must have (i) a cover page, (ii) subject matter content or text that SHALL NOT be less than 850 words and not exceed 950 words. See the SAMPLE for guidance on how to APA-format your position paper for APA Level 1 headings. The assignment requires a minimum of three academic peer reviewed articles from scholarly journals. DO NOT pay attention to the subject matter of the sample. The subject matter of the Sample is irrelevant. Rather, PAY ATTENTION to the formatting of the Sample, so that you can learn what is called “APA-Level 1 formatting,” that is critical for you learning how to write your papers for this course. 5. DO NOT USE titles and sub-titles from Samples as titles for your paper, nor in your headers. YOUR TITLES NEED TO BE ORIGINAL, as based on your academic research, AND titles CANNOT CONTAIN WORDS LIKE “Week” and “Position Paper.”
