Remember when President Bush sent the National Guard down to the Mexican border? Well guess what...it's having quite an effect. In fact, in one section...illegal border crossings are down 62%. Imagine how much they'd be down if we actually built a wall and enforced the law. After 8 months being down at the border, the troops are having a serious deterrent effect. And since the main function of the federal government is to defend and protect our borders, why not send more troops? How about a troop surge to stop the Mexican invasion? The solution to illegal immigration is so easy...and so simple...it's right there on the table, ready to be solved. This is not a complicated issue. All you do is build a wall along the border, staff it with armed troops and then take the steps necessary to make it all but impossible for the 12 to 20 million criminal aliens we already have in this country to earn a living.
The problem, of course, is that there is no will to do anything about the invasion.
And this success is all happening even though the National Guard troops aren't allowed to apprehend illegals. Imagine if they could do that. Surely we could stop illegal immigration in its tracks. Of course, given their success...the Bush Administration will probably redeploy them.
