SO...just how many border posts should we build, and how do we staff them? Do we make it two layered? Do we use the Army or build a "Border Guard" that is analagous to the Coast Guard? What sort of sensors do we use? Do we put up cameras along the whole border?

Each of these questions is thorny and introduce a whole other slew of arguments and issues. The fact is, if it were easy, we'd have already done it. The W plan isn't perfect, but it is a start. :p

Mines are cheap. And work rather well.... Seriously, it is not an easy issue. I never stated otherwise. But I honestly believe we, as a country , could find a way to get our borders secure. Even if it means doing everything you said. But my opinion is Bush`s plan is only going to flood this country will cheap "legal" labor. If you let these people come to this country to just work, then they will never become productive "citizens". They are basically slave labor. They will not be just picking beans in the fields either. They will be in all kinds of industry taking away good paying jobs from American citizens. At a much higher rate than they are now. The tech industry is going through all this with the H1B and L1 visa programs. This is not they way to do it.
