Hogwash. Many are fighting in their neighborhoods, and have been for years. Ever been to any border towns? Ever seen the brutal crime committed by thousands of illegals?
And bringing troops back from Iraq (the original statement that I was replying to), would do exactly what to help this situation.
The answer is - exactly nothing.
Until our government policies are changed, until we get enough of the population supporting using strong measures on the borders, until we can stop the Liberals from screaming whenever we try to do ANYTHING useful, it would be a total waste to just bring troops (of any number) back from Iraq.
The interesting lesson is that just TWELVE Border Patrol agents that decided to be aggressive and effective, caused quite an effect. Lets take the handcuffs off our own Border Patrol people. Lets set a strong national policy of protecting the borders. Lets double or triple the manning of the Border Patrol. Lets invest in more technology like the UAV's to patrol the border - Yes.
These things can have tremendous effects, but just a knee jerk - bring troops back from Iraq, is stupid.
