Of course the purpose of our army is to protect our borders. To let the enemy march into our country is absurd. And we are facing a new kind of war where the enemy infiltrates our country.

Other countries have had the military on the border -- the former Soviet Union had KGB troops protecting its borders. Koreans have their army protecting their borders.

Sure some illegal aliens might work hard. And so do many of our own criminals -- Dr. Svango was a hard worker and a number other serial killers. This is no excuse to allow illegal aliens to break our laws.

If the military can't handle it just put a bounty on them, I could retire within a month here in San Diego County, might even make enough extra to replace the airplane I crashed.

What is ironic is that our soldiers are protecting someone else's country. We have lots of tough talk about how we are going to do this from our leaders.

How do we look when we talk tough and presume to show others how to get the enemy out of their country while we wring our hands here at home and look helpless?

It does not make any sense.

Yeah, but the Soviets had their guns trained on their own citizens to keep them from leaving. The Koreans have their sworn enemies (whom they are still technically at war)right on their border. I dont think we have been in a state of war with Mexico for over a 100 years. Try again.
