Putting the military on our borders seems hypocritical when we're trying to discourage that sort of activity elsewhere in the world. Letting the BP do their job and revamping the system would do wonders as opposed to our borders looking like Checkpoint Charlie.
If you look back on this forum you will see promises of strengthening the border patrol as far back as this forum's files go. As I mentioned to Jim, the flow has trippled during that time. Wouldn't you say six or seven years of these promises and the resulting increase in flow pretty well lays waist to the promise of shoring up the border patrol as a solution to his.
Educate me, please. Where exactly is that "sort of activity" happening elsewhere in the world? And why on earth would "we" (speak for yourself) discourage it?
I know national sovereignty doesn't mean much these days, but I wasn't aware that it was a dead concept.
