How is it that during the cold war we could secure the borders in Germany and continue to hold the DMZ in Korea and yet we can't secure the border with Mexico. I know that there is the claim of needing the illegals to do the tasks that many people would reject but enough already. With 15 million illegals I think we have enough to fill that need. Why can't we use the thousands of National Guard troops that have their two week of training to help with this desperately needed closing of the border.
Anyone who says that the border can't be closed is lying through their teeth. The much poorer nation of India secured four times the distance we need to - at one tenth the projected cost. I would think that anyone desperate enough to illegally immigrate to India would have to be far needier than the "undocumented" we're seeing.
Yes, enough already. I have actually heard illegal immigrants who've been here a long time complain that the ones who keep coming are taking employment and driving down their wages. Boo hoo hoo.
The National Guard and Reserves are totally tied up by our nation's foreign policies. I believe we should be using the Guard for their intended purpose while our leaders either step up regular-service recruitment or declare victory somewhere.
"With 15 million illegals I think we have enough to fill that need.
1 in 5 of our prison inmates are illegals, at $22,000 per year, per Zell Miller. That's more than enough!
