Illegal immigration isnt the only reason to put the military on the border right now. The constitution obligates the govt to defend the borders. The state of AZ for instance is too corrupt and silly to stop terrorists from bringing in nukes or drugs or people or anything really, yet we still have a right to protected borders.
I am not arguing with you. I have stated repeatedly that to really solve the illegal alien problem it must be left to the military to do it. Sates will not and the INS is not up to the task. However, it must be a permanent involvement because as soon as the military withdraws then the illegals will start crossing again.
