It doesn't seem to bother them one whit that that is against the Constitution of the United States, does it? All the while they are demanding that Bush enforce the laws. DUH, huh?
Why are you lending any credibility to the hyperbole that we'd have to bring ALL troops home to guard the borders? We won't. I could introduce you to military types who know just how many troops it would take and what their roles would be.
And it is NOT against the Constitution. See Article IV, Section 4. It is actually the duty of the government to guard our borders. It makes NO distinction between guarding the borders with law enforcement or military. In fact, the wording is "repel invasion" which connotes using the military. No, it isn't a massed, armed invasion (before you counter with that) but the Constitution makes no such distinction. It is a mass invasion, organized, and yes some of the smugglers are armed and have used their weapons against citizens and Border Patrol Agents. Go look up the definition of the word invasion if you're unsure about this.
But "they" claim to be the "real" Conservatives. It just boggles the mind.
