If it adds new skills and techniques to our troops on handling civilians at the border, then I'm all for it. I think people should come to this country legally. Get the proper paperwork done and you can come in! It's not fair to the other people who got in legally.

I'm not happy with the current administration either.  I say bring our troops home and put them on the border!  This administration has abandoned conservative principles by expanding the size of government, engaging in "nation building" in Iraq and violated the Constitution.\n\nIn fact, according to the Constitution (Article IV Section 4) the government is not to have a choice but to secure the border.  Our border has devolved into a war zone, and the government has been unwilling to devote the resources necessary to stop the violence and wanton disregard for the law occuring there.  It should be a top priority of our government to protect this country from the massive invasion taking place from the south and to punish employers who hire illegal aliens, a practice that depresses wages for American workers and allows big businesses to get away with paying low wages and giving no benefits.

I'd put 100,000 troops along our Southern Border with orders to Shoot on Sight anyone that enters Illegally.....

I actually do believe that this is a great idea. Let those who want to take lives here in America go to Iraq, potrol the border, and serve the country. And if they make it back alive, then there free, If they die..well..then they're gone, but at least they served the country!

The answer is no.  This country is in bad shape.  Millions of people are considered at a poverty level, and here we are spending all the nations money on Iraq.  Bush is just trying to finish what his father started.  We need to focus on the American peoples well being before Iraq.  If he wants to worry about something he need to put the troops in Afganistan (or however it is spelled) where the real threat is.

Why do I still call myself a Bush supporter?  Well I am sure he will send troops to the boarder but not enough to actually curb the problem.  I heard this morning that the troops that go down will not be part of the enforcement.  So are they just going to stand around and count how many people are crossing.

Bush and his cronies should come to the final decision that it is best to get out of Iraq. Each day we remain there only makes the situation worse. Unfortunately Bush does not seem to realize this. I'm not saying to bring them all home at once. What I am saying is to bring them home gradually, maybe even 500 at a time. We're not wanted there. We already have enough enemies. Bush should forget about Iraq's oil because the entire Middle East now knows that oil was our primary reason for invading Iraq. They only see themselves as next. GET OUT BUSH.

Well, you have actually made an interesting point.  But I am not sure that would even satisfy the bigots on this board. \n\nThat is a fair and reasonably request to make of someone who came here and broke the law.  You want to live here? Then it comes with a price. I am not sure how you would implement it though..\n\nI think making it volunteer is right as well.  You cant force someone to join the military, if they want to stay here legally, they have the choice to join military, as sortof a consequence for coming here illegally.\n\nAs far as bush and the illegals, I think it is a diversion from the real problem of the war in Iraq.  A smokescreen to draw attention away from that issue.  This problem of illegals is NOT new to this country.  Its been going on for years and it will continue.  \n\nThe American government isn't going to do anything about it.  It profits them to keep the status quo.  The economy is helped in many ways due to illegals, even though some will never admit that.  Living on the border I see if first hand. .

I actually agree with you. I say bring back home the troops and lets send George Bush and all his people over there. All the soldiers are doing is fighting for Bush's butt and his people. Let send them all over there so they can fight for Bush and Bush can fight for himself. Bush and his people are chicken to fight for us. I am sorry, but it is the truth. We didn't need this war at all. All Brush is doing is killing are solider and that is wrong of him. May God bless us and all of our troops.

the Democratic party can ask bush all they want to bring home the troops . but its all up to him not them. if we brought them home today in less than a week there would be another attack on us soil . trust me ive been to iraq. those people are nuts

The only problem with military border patrol is it will create hostility just like the Gaza strip.Picture tanks and armed soldiers.What we should is get more qualified patrol officers and as far as katrina we had fema and they failed them the a$$holes tax dollars gone to funerals.But you make a Great debate they may do a better job then the people we pay to do these jobs now.

We have a Border Patrol already. They are understaffed and should be expanded. The Guard has planes and equipment that could be put toward the effort though. The second problem is, to do what? They are not cops, and we really can't shoot everybody crossing the border. So What would they realy do anyway??

Put armed snipers every 500 yards with licennse to kill. I know many people that would volunteer for the priviledge. Every one that comes here takes away a job and health care from someone who has the right to be here. As for the rest of them gather them up the the slime dogs they are and load them into b-52 bombers and push them out at 30,000 feet back into mexico. Once they see people falling from the sky and friends getting heads blowb off after crossing the line maybe they would take the hint. No, borders should not be open. This country has homeless people everywhere and does not take care of their own. We must take care of our own people before we help anyone else.

A better and more economical way is just to put armed US troops on the border. This would also help to curtail the drug problem as well
