Mixing military and law-enforcement functions is definitely a slippery slope. The job of the military is to break things and kill people, not enforce the laws. It's really a go-nowhere solution anyway, because if there was political will for it in Washington, then there'd be political will to bring the Border Patrol up to snuff. I'd rather focus on the source of the problem, than creatively play around with the symptoms.

I have been having trouble getting a grasp on this. I look at the situation as an illegal invasion of our sovereign nation, more than a nuisance to be handled by LEO's. I guess that's where my confusion comes in.
