The thing about having the military on the border that most don't understand, is that, an area along the border will be put under Martial Law. I don't beg for the area where anyone else lives to be under martial law, why does everyone want the area I live in to be under martial law.

“In January of 1916 Villista forces raided a train coming from Chihuahua City, killing 17 Americans on board. On March 9th, Villa at the head of a force numbering about 450 raided Columbus, New Mexico killing 19 Americans.

On March 15th President Wilson ordered Brigadier General John J. (Black Jack) Pershing to cross the Mexican border in pursuit of Villa. A brash young lieutenant by the name of George S. Patton managed to get appointed to Pershing’s staff just before he jumped off. Most of the regular Cavalry units in the Western U.S., including the "Buffalo Solders" of the 10th Cavalry, participated in pursuit of Poncho Villa. On May 6th another band of Mexicans raided the town of Glen Springs, Texas, shouting "Viva Villa" and "Viva Carranza." To augment the defense of the Southern borders of the United States, Wilson began a call up of the National Guard beginning with Texas and Arizona and New Mexico units on June 18, 1916. Eventually the entire National Guard participated. The role of the National Guard troops was to patrol the border, secure towns and bridges thus freeing up the regular army troops for action under Pershing.”

I think the time has come for all American citizens to arm themselves and be ready to defend our country, family and what remaining freedoms we have left. Obviously our government fat cats have little interest in doing so. Prepare yourself and speak out! Guard our borders now!

Buchanan was the only candidate serious about protecting our borders. With South America about to implode just wait for the new tidal wave of illegals from there and central America.
