It makes sense because we don't actually need to militarize the borders or anything like that. If we enforce the hundreds of laws already in place, this problem will be gone with in weeeks. Like my teacher said, we have too many laws. Don't need anymore.
For what it is worth, I voted for the option of enforcing the laws already on the books---
I was just remarking that the non-members were voting overwhelmingly to militarize the border, in fact, on the breakdown I saw yesterday, when I voted, the option of enforcing existing laws, had 0% in the non-member section!!!
As I explained, that's precisely what is needed. I think a ranger force is called for - properly selected, equipped and trained, with a virtual armada of air and ground support. It would also force smugglers, as well, more to the gulf, the coasts and the Canadian border (which basically doesn't exist, either). It certainly would charge the border jumping patterns of foreign nationals.
