LE can never be conducting business to the satisfaction of some. A military presence on private property at border crossing spots will violate somebody's sensitivities. Heavy handed military tactics would be complained about. Eventually, aliens with guns will be defended by some for their right to bear arms, parents teaching their children on the run will be defended by some homeschool radicals, parents beating their kids on the run will be defended by the absolute parental rights people. Some people will undoubtedly lose sight of or ignore the illegal alien issue in an attempt to villify the government.

"LE can never be conducting business to the satisfaction of some."

Some will say that this shooting is solely the results of an unconstitutional attempt by the Federal government to control the ingestion of substances deemed as "controlled" or illegal.

Some will say that by legalizing drugs, the smuggling of drugs will end.

Then there are the absolute morons who would lobby for a declared war against Mexico over Iraq.

My problem with military at the borders is two-fold:

One, the borders are also any point of entry into the US, so the military would need to control every airport, train station, and sea port that provided a direct connection to Mexico, as well as every mile of shore, and secondly, when would the mission end?

America's foreign policy towards mexico should be one of helping in their economic development. We should stop sending American industries to the ChiCom, and instead, incentivize American industrialists who would help develop the Mexican economy.
