I don't disagree with wanting our borders closed, although using U.S. troops to do so seems to be against the rules.

Do you recognize the sheer assininity of this statement? Not slamming you, I think it's true. But if our armed forces are not allowed to defend the border of our OWN COUNTRY, it is time to disband the military and start over from scratch.

I agree on the stupidity of not having our troops on the borders, particularly during war and a war on terrorism, at that. At the very least, why aren't state militias used strategically for border patrol in the more porous areas?
