Perhaps border states should begin asking for volunteers to help enforce the borders. I'll bet that they could find plenty of citizens to spend a couple weeks a year guarding the state from invasion.

It's an excellent idea that would be shut down by our benevolent Federal Government. Citizens helping defend our borders from invasion conflicts with the Federal Agenda of encouraging Illegal Immigration.

Now that's something I'd love to see - the Federal government trying to interfere with a state government and its voluntary citizen militia protecting its borders from invasion... Such an event could very well spell the collapse of the Federal government if both sides held their ground.

There are already civilian volunteer groups trying to protect our southern borders. They appear to be tacitly supported by the rank and file Border Patrol agents but opposed by the upper echelon. Go to the following non-government sites to read more.
