This whole NAAFA thing was supposed to halt border crossing. Its the opposite now. It hasn't stopped anything except more US business crossing the border south.
As for protection of the border. When this Iraq business is finally done...the Guard and reserve will be bankrupt. No one is going to want to join. States will have to go back to militia activity, and I think AZ, Texas and New Mexico will likely start a state border militia. I'b betting on this already. If you offer free scholorships to border area universities, you can enlist 10,000 students each year from those states to dedicate toward border-protection and educational actviities. We all benifit from this deal.
I'm afraid the demographics already indicate that New Texical is a lost cause already.
