We can put 10,000 reservists on the Northern border and the same number on the Southern border. We have plenty. We activated 100,000 for the war in Afghanistan.

We build a fence where it makes sense. Not a problem. I believe, if we show we're as serious about this as we are about our war in Afghanistan, we'll run out of people stupid enough to take the risk.

The drug dealers push heavy in the school yards. They often give the first hit away, free, to kids. They're out to hook them young.

In what way do you mean it's easier to talk about shooting smugglers than to do it? It's either them or our society. I say it's them.

The question is....with that much border is so many remote locations, how much good will it do?

Run out of enough stupid people....or people who are willing to risk their life for a lot of money? Only in a dram world....

I've never seen any of that when I went to grade-high school, and that was 7-15 years ago. It is more of an urban legend than anything else.

No, it's easy to say 'let's put 50,000 troops on the border, radar, and electrified fences' than it is to do it, or to have it work effectively.
