There is not only one option and a permanent military force is not needed to stop the horde that is coming across nor at the numbers "every 100 feet" would imply. That we will have reduced illegal crossings in the future is irrelevant. We also would need to go after employers who contribute to the problem and stop giving illegal aliens a handout when they need to be deported.

Is that a fact? There is a self styled INS expert on this site that says the borders are wide open. There are legions that are crying for military involvement. You have a valid point about employer sanctions and there are a rash of illegals being fired because of bogus social security numbers. However, the border state local law enforcement agencies have ALL denied the feds request to hold a illegal aliens for deportation. I am telling you this right now, for illegal immigration to stop to any significant degree it WILL take a military option. Not only at the borders but also in rounding up the ones that are already here right now. To believe any thing else is ridiculous.

I agree that the military is needed at the borders at least at this point in time. We also need to increase the border patrol and take internal action. If the state didnt simply give handouts to illegals I doubt we'd have to do alot of rounding up.
