Did you ever consider the opposite notion, that when Univision showed pictures of well disciplined troops on the border that not as many folks might try to make the run? It's called "deterrence."

How many troops would be required for deterrence, for the thousands of miles of borders that we have?

How many troops do we have in Germany? In Bosnia? And, shocking as it might sound, the defense of our homeland is the primary reason for government's existence. Maybe we just might have to stop building a couple Robert K. Byrd Highways in order to get the military to the full strength it needs to do its primary function.
