I frankly don't understand your troops fetish, and why you prefer to pursue such a bad, unviable idea, rather than getting productive measures enacted.

It's quite telling that you think border protection to halt a million plus invasion of illegal aliens into America every year, year after year, is a "bad", "unviable idea". Given that, I have to question your sincerity when you say that you want to see employer sanctions on employers of illegal aliens. Perhaps you do, as long as the ensuing political heat is isn't outside your narrow feline comfort zone.

A re-examination of your own agendas might be in order. If you're really against rampant Illegal colonization, let's get something done, rather than bluster ineffectually about the problem.

You should take your own advice on blustering ineffectually about the problem yourself. I happen to be for a range of solutions to turn back illegal immigration...not just one.

The troops on the border fantasy is what's unviable. It can't be finished and won't ever get started, yet you guys talk like it's a temporary fix. You're talking about an undertaking of a greater scale than the Great Wall of China.

Oh, I'm certain that's it.
Or, to turn your reasoning to a mirror, what's to stop one from concluding that you'd rather rage about a pipe dream than actually get something done?
You weren't happy that Trent Lott got a well-deserved boot. Why not?
He was soft on Illegals before, he got James Ziglar the INS job., and his one "troops on the borders" statement was all gas: his office said there was no plan to push such legislation. After his Dixiecrat screw-up and BET grovelfest, do you think Lott was ever going to get anything done on Illegals in the face of the race-baiters? Their ring would have been permanently through his nose. Nothing would have happened.
Is there a guarantee with Frist? Nope, it'll be uphill all the way. At least there's a chance of getting some legislation through him, particularly if conservatives stop wishing the press would do the dirty work on the Dems for them and take the PC racists head-on.
Self-destructors like Trent Lott, however, are liabilities and will be left behind.
All I'm saying, all I've ever said, is that we need to choose our battles wisely to win this war.
