#1 Our objective is nothing less than a border under operational control,"...

Bull, you don't act like it and no holder of that office ever has. The Border to the south should be controled and Patroled by a military type force. Zero drugs and illegal aliens should get across.

#2 SPoD -
Can't use Title X military forces, Posse Comitatus.
However, you could raise a 'para-military' force and put it under Homeland Security. Say, about two brigades of, otherwise unemployed, Apaches. It's not like that has ever been done before. :)

#3 Should have had the Marines practicing intradiction in a desert environment long before we went into Iraq.

Signs along the border "in Spanish" saying US Marine training area, do not cross. Would do a lot more towards stopping infiltration than water fountains.

#4 Yes! JF understands. The gentlemen from the White Mountains can operate on either side of the border with ease.

#5 There are an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. But federal immigration officials insist they are making progress in stemming the influx.

What about ejecting those that are already here?

Large numbers of other illegal aliens who are not deemed a threat are often released inside the United States and told to appear in court at a later date to determine whether they are eligible to remain.

How about identifying the government officials who are responsible for this, and lowering the boom on them??

The president's plan would allow unauthorized immigrants currently living in the United States to apply for legal status to work..

No, no, NO. Round 'em up and throw 'em OUT. Anyone that wants to be a part of the guest worker program needs to be clean, with NO RECORD of illegal entry.

This can't be said enough: NO REWARDS FOR ILLEGAL ENTRY. PERIOD.
