A suggestion that I have been working on recently, is a combination of efforts.

1....An immediate moratorium on immigration waivers and new applications in the pipeline until major changes are made and the system re-vamped.

2...Under the new Homeland Security Dept., we need to create a massive border security program. We need to expand the border patrol by 150 to 200 thousand members.

We need to do this under the civil service programs that bush has been touting. We may need to re-establish the draft for this purpose. Not for the military, but for a cadre of our young people to protect our borders, while at the same time, giving two years of service to the country.

We can train and board them at un-used military bases. We can give them educational opportunities under the GI bill and a small but adequate allowance for someone who is provided three squares and base housing.

In return, they can get their civil service requirement out of the way, get educational benefits and the experience of training and military discipline. Some may want to continue in a military career.

What say you?

Border security is one thing, but the fact of the matter is that the best way to keep people from making the effort to come across our borders is to stop making the trek so attractive in the end!

On the southern border they park their cars and wait for the Mexicans to come to them ...those that are free to patrol have rules ..parts of the desert thay are not allowed into..and if the illegal gets to a certain point they are told they may not chase them

With rules like these in place we would need them to stand shoulder to shoulder and have them form a human fence

We need to understand that Bush does not WANT to keep them out..so they will come it..

Homeland security is checking little old white ladies bording planes to see their grand kids....it is aimed at removing rights from the citizens to make all of us safe..It is NOT about keeping the bad guys out
