Enough to fly two planes into the world trade center and one into the Pentagon.
"How many invaders make it across the Canadian border every year? Does it amount anywhere in the millions?"
Psssst. I hate to break this to you sparky but our military folks, including our reserve and guard elements, are over stretched as it is...they're in need of serious relief themselves. A minor little fact that must of been over looked by the local "commanders".
True. So let's avoid a similar incident along with the slow motion terrorism and body count caused by our wide open southern border.

Are you attempting to belittle me with your weak-ass mockery or the more knowledgeable former military types who have weighed in on this subject? Psssst , Chief, I've got 2 retired U.S. Army colonels (o ne a combat veteran) right here in my little town on the front lines of this invasion who could easily go toe to toe with you on this subject. And they're just the ones that I have on my speed dial.
As for the only legitimate point that you have yet raised, I'm aware that our armed forces are stretched right now. But we should not leave the homeland unguarded no matter what.
Columnist Mike Blair did some research and found, among the many troop deployments around the globe, the following numbers of U.S. troops in foreign countries:
Portugal 3,000
Italy 11,190
Great Britain 11,207
Japan 40,159
So. Korea 38,565
Turkey 2,008
Germany 69,203
Now, I know a lot of these have been redeployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. But we only need a battalion or two down here. They sure had no problem finding 500 marines to send into Haiti to deal with a problem there. I'm sure we can spare a few from guarding someone else's borders to come and guard our own.
