>>It would only cost about $100 per hour for a Civil Air Patrol Plane to patrol the boarder.<<
That's the cost of civilians doing the job. Bring the government into the picture and the price quadruples.
(Oh, to be 1A again.)
=======================================
(The Report) said the agency's uniformed leadership should be pointed in a "new direction" as it is in "total denial of the magnitude of the disaster" and — as currently organized, staffed and supported — "cannot be relied upon" to remedy the situation soon.
It's a no-brainer, the borders have to be closed and the laws enforced. Only the US military can do the job quickly so what are they waiting for, Vincent Fox's permission?
From my point of view, citizen involvement is key to success.
Yes I believe Reagan would take action too, and so would have Eisenhower. Teddy Roosevelt would have sent Pershing down there to clean up the mess. Where are all these guys when you need them?
I believe that there will be a groundswell, like a huge tsunami of public discontent, which will force a change of policy. I just now heard Al Rantel, who has a popular L.A. talk show on AM KABC 790. He said that a CNN poll was just taken, showing that as high as 90% of Americans want troops or national guard protecting our borders!
HELLO, WASHINGTON! ARE YOU LISTENING? This cuts across all party lines. This is "WE, THE PEOPLE" talking!

What Washington should have posted on every door of every building...
Even our official border policy is unreasonable. The LA Mexico billboard makes it crystal clear that Mexico is planning conquest via immigration. We need an immediate ban on all Mexican immigrants, as well as stronger border patrols. Otherwise, California will become our own, personal Kosovo bloodbath.
