Should the United States military be used in the event of a foreign invasion?

Question

If so, why have we not deployed forces along the border.

And why are we prosecuting our border patrol guards?

Answer 1

Yes, certainly yes to your first question. To the second question, your guess is as good as mine. It's turning out that the drug runners at the border and other illegal immigrants in our country have more rights than do the tax paying citizens, seemingly all due to the new "political correctness" and feeling sorry for those "just wanting a better life." So much BS, if you ask me! We need to consider and care for our own FIRST before any others! Not saying to be selfish but have you ever heard of "charity begins at home?" Once we get our own people taken care of, then we can look at what we can do for others.

Answer 2

The first answer has it correct,its only going to worse before it gets better.Our government is a group of worthless money grubbers ,who's only interests is in lining their pockets.The Justice Department is effectively hand cuffing our Border Patrol,by the stupidity of the convictions on the testimony of a convicted drug smuggler that was given immunity.
This is simply ludicrous,we do need our active duty armed military on our borders.That's the only way to seal the borders and stop this invasion.

Answer 3

We don't have the forces to deploy along the border. They're serving in Iraq.

(I also agree with Daisy, very true)

Answer 4

Warfare changed in the Vietnam War in the 60's these days it's gurellia warfare, where martyrs blow themselves up, we need a coastguard system, to compliment customs. Or fly aeroplanes into buildings, something that the Howard Government spending half a billion dollars on 25 year old U.S.A. army tanks won't tackle.

Answer 5

With what men??? the Armed Services cannot recruit enough for the war in Iraq. Border patrol guards are taking in bribes and abuse of illegal immigrants.

Answer 6

likely no yet there are protocols for a heavy attack including human beings firing on police with rifles Washington,DC with the aid of fact its the countries capital yet technically no longer a city so it may t qualify

Answer 7

Well.
People immigrating doesn't constitute foreign invasion.
As usual you are flaunting your extremist views.
And we're prosecuting border guards who MURDER PEOPLE.
Last I heard that was still illegal in this country.

Answer 8

No. Because business owners who profit from the cheap labor of illegals have hired lobbyists to buy off the RNC and Bush administration.

Next question!

Answer 9

When it is just an immigration problems .
Not necessary.
Just living human kind jumping ship from their own homeland living in misery searching for a better living in migrant land in planet of apes.

Answer 10

Hey how about a big fence with land mines and guards with machine guns. With orders....Shoot to kill!!! Oh yea.....that's been done. Wasn't it called the Iron Curtain?????
