Tancredo's proposal look prettygood except using the military to police the bordrs. That's a violation of Posse Comitatus and it is also a serious misuse of the troops. Besides, a rifle squad is NOT trained to be a Border patrol agent. Otherwise, sanctions against those who hire illegals and the rest seem pretty cut and dried,

Tancredo's plans need work. Advertise on the internet for agricultural workers before heading off to recruit in Mexico? There are a lot of drop-out hispanics kids here who could do those chili picking jobs --- but they aren't likely to look on the internet --- why not have recruiters required to recruit in the inner cities and low-income housing projects directly --- just like they do when they go to Mexico? Some low-income kids would work.

I favor having the military patrol our borders. National defense is their obligation. If we're not going to use them to keep our borders secure, we might as well begin disbanding the Army and Marines NOW.
