I wouldn’t put one single soldier in Mexico. I would put as many as necessary on the border and give them whatever they needed to stop illegal immigration.

I think that would be my preference. Not only because of shutting off the immigration, but just as importantly, to shut off the drug flow. If the flow of drugs is essentially stopped, that obviates the need for any troops in Mexico.
I could sign on to an idea like that. Unfortunately the Army and Marines are tied up at the moment. They're either deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, just returned from Iraq or Afghanistan, or getting ready to deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan.
