We do not need an army on the border or within to police our nation. The problem with the INS is that it is underfunded and is doing all it can to help illegals get into the country not keep them out.

Give the INS 10,000 more officers and they can deal with the problem themselfs if they have the correct leadership that stopped putting water tanks in deserts.

Let the brave americans in our armed forces do their job of blowing things up and killing without useing them as a quick answer to our ills.

The INS hasn't a clue about what is going on.

It is like the Environmental Protection Agency a few years ago having to evacuate their own building, from toxic fume buildup in their own building for several years.

The E.P.A. still will not release publically the information on how many people died from that incident.

For the record, I dont think that it is the military's job to arrest citizens, I thought I made that clear but maybe I didnt. It is our military's job to defend our borders.

As far as the INS getting better leadership, dont hold your breath. As is obvious, our military is not 'blowing things up and killing' right now, a great deal of them are standing between warring factions and essentially being human targets for foreigners who are embittered by our interference. Obviously, we need better leadership all the way around. Bring them home. Put them on our borders. Let the Euroweenies solve their own problems...JFK

Yeah lets create another army. LMAO

I'm not sure the INS needs 10,000 more officers, so much as it needs CLEAR DIRECTION, that what we want to do is KEEP OUT illegal aliens.
A clear mission would do wonders for the INS' effectiveness.

Lets see, 10,000 more officers at $35,000 per comes to $350,000,000.

Or $500 bounty paid per illegal reported to INS by local authorities. $500 fine if the "illegal" in question is acutally here legally. INS would pay the local authorities $500 and the local authorities would pay the citizen that provided the tip $250. At that rate, you could capture about 700,000 illegals per year without the management overhead. Plus you would help out local police department budgets.

I could make quite a living "riding range" between Texas and California.
