Your items 1 & 2 alone would solve the problem:
“1) Secure our borders
2) Enforce existing law”
If no additional illegals come into the country, that would stop the flow, which is the real problem.
Wikipedia on the US/Mexico border:
The border's total length is 1,954 mi, according to figures given by the International Boundary and Water Commission. It is the most frequently crossed international border in the world, with approximately 350 million legal crossings being made annually.
[…]
There are an estimated half a million illegal entries into the United States each year.
Wikipedia on the Paladin:
So to cover the border we'd need 1,954 / 22 ≈ 89 Paladins… but that's an under-count because that would entail butting them directly on the border. We would actually want them back a bit.Crew: 6 Effective firing range: 11 mi Operational range: 216 mi
c² = b² + a² 11² = 5.5² + a² 121 = 30.25 + a² 90.75 = a² 9.5 ≈ aSo, we could put them 5.5 mi away from the border, allowing them to cover 19 mi of border; this would mean that we'd need 1,954 / 19 ≈ 103 paladins [103 * 6 = 618 men].
See, securing the border is not as hard as they make it out to be.
Funny... A US citizen caught illegally in Mexico will find themselves in prison and if lucky after some payola deported. A US citizen is entitled to nothing in Mexico - not even the presumption of innocence.

She?
Ah... next to last paragraph. Sorry.
1). STOP SUPPORTING AMNESTY FOR 30 MILLION NEW DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.
Amen!
You got it. Good job.
The problems securing the border have nothing to do with logistics.
They will have to answer for their actions someday.
Trust me, I attack them daily, but this was the last straw in holding my fire for the stupid party.
Securing the border would have been a great use of the trillions wasn’t on the so-called stimulus.
Pass the word along.
My guess is that she wouldn’t mind others trying to use that to get their attention.
Or even write their own versions incorporating some the same ideas or words.
Aye — that was my point.
I’m as disillusioned and unhappy as every conservative but here are some facts often overlooked when discussing third parties:
1. Local, county and state party apparatus is controlled by statist. They dictate the rules all the way up to the national convention level. If by chance a grassroots organization happens to get rules changes implemented courts and or party honchos knock it down.
2. Both parties have authored and passed bills to deter third party growth. Have you ever wondered why no real third party has taken root? Because the Oligarchy has made it all but impossible by throwing out legal barriers to discourage and sap resources.
3. To fight these obstacles you need to have serious backing and control of information delivery. Most third party movements have neither and are unwilling to fight a gorilla offensive.
4. The progressives have fought a one hundred year long battle to win the hearts an minds of the elites and leech class all the while memorizing what is right and Godly. They have no intention of giving up peacefully and will weather small set backs to achieve their ends.
5. If you want to win you must roll up your sleeves, educate the fence sitters, and wipe out the rest. Either by crushing their ideas (unlikely), wait for the second coming, or go biblical and ground their bones into the earth so they don’t threaten mankind again. This is awful business and it cost the same price we paid two hundred and fifty some years ago.
We need to run constitutionalists in the Republican primaries. No Cornballs. No Grahams. No McCs. If they lose, we need to have back-up third party constitutionalists in the general election, such as the Constitution Party. If the constitutionalist wins the primary, the third candidate in the general election should withdraw. If the liberal wins the primary, we vote for the constitutionalist in the general election no matter what. If a third constitutional candidate won’t withdraw, we shun him and stick with the Republican nominee if he is a constitutionalist.
Minefields work too. So do seismic monitoring devices, infrared, and radio emissions detection.
1000 men and 108 paladins. Excellent. We have 40,000 in the TSA, right?
