#2 use lethal force against American citizens

With no demand of ID for border crossers how will the shooters know targets are American?

#4 Technically been legal since the Insurrection Act. Ever heard of the Pullman Strike?

The military was not, however, impartial; they were there to ensure that the trains ran, which would eventually weaken the boycott.[16] Federal forces broke the ARU's attempts to shut down the national transportation system city by city. Thousands of US Marshals and 12,000 US Army troops, led by Brigadier General Nelson Miles, took part in the operation. President Cleveland claimed that he had a legal, constitutional responsibility for the mail; however, getting the trains moving again also helped further his fiscally conservative economic interests and protect capital, which was far more significant than the mail disruption. His lawyers argued that the boycott violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, and represented a threat to public safety. The arrival of the military and the subsequent deaths of workers in violence led to further outbreaks of violence. During the course of the strike, 30 strikers were killed and 57 were wounded. Property damage exceeded $80 million.[7][8][19]

#5 As I understand it, there's no real change to existing "law"; they're just sending a message.

"DON'T interfere with our election-rigging!"

#6 ...but usually, you don't make such a threat when you're outnumbered 300 to 1.
