I agree with the war on terror, and Im strongly hoping for success in Iraq, but come on! Why don't we have tens of thousands of troops protecting our borders??

WHY?????? I'll tell you WHY, we do not have the troops to send there to protect our own borders with the war in Iraq going on. The only way we could do that is to start the draft again and you know how many Mammas and Pappas would protest that. We are in poor shape when it comes to the Military Poplulation, very poor.

Yes the threat is there but not as great as rooting out the terrorists that may make it into our country. Seems that a lot of the terrorism has slowed down since the war has been taken to their side of the world.

It makes to much sense for most repuglicans to comprehend and besides if you stop the invasion of cheap labor they will have to pay a decent wage.

People would consider it racist and it would offend the Mexican people. Our government is more focused on non Americans to actually care about the citizens.

Because neither party wants to give up the Hispanic vote.

are you going to go stand there? or provide the extra funding to put them on active duty there? How about opening your home to house the troops?
