Add soldiers to our borders? Isn't that more government?

Yes, but I think that's a lot less government than offering bribes for illegals to regularize. As I pointed out, they have little incentive to do so now so it would take a large increase in free services to get them to legalize. Otherwise they use the free clinic which I support and the emergency room which we all pay for through health insurance premiums. They also have the support of their own community.

If you really are a conservative wouldn't you support defense of the country before proposing large increases in federally sponsored human services?

I think a combined approach of letting hard working illegals stay, booting out criminal and welfare illegals, and cracking down on businesses that employ illegals is the most effective approach under realistic standards of cost and logistics. I think building an impenetrable wall on our border is impractical and ascetically unpalatable for Americans. It is also a huge barrier to trade.

You have mentioned several times that you contribute to a charity clinic. You never recieved a proper response. I'm sorry it passed by me. Thank you for helping your fellow man. If God is not already shining his benevolence upon you for your charity, I believe you will be rewarded for it in the future.
