#1 Feh. Too damn many Powerpoint presentations, too few grim, determined folk with machine guns and orders to shoot to kill.

#3 Who says the local communities and states along the border need wait for the federal initiative? It seems to me that, given the clear endpoint when the Feds will take over the effort, locals can invest money and manpower to cover the gap until then -- for their own safety, as well as the security of the nation. In fact, I really think they should bill the Mexican government for the costs incurred... not that Sr. Fox will pay, but trumpeting a monthly billing would be rather embarrassing for him, as well as establishing baseline costs for Homeland Security.

#9 After a security check and successful completion of duties, you get a Barrett and a 200 lb case of 50 cal ammo. BATF will be directed to take care of the necessary paperwork with your respective state to allow your possession and use of same.

#10 How about a good old fashioned "moat" that connects the Gulf of Mexico with the Pacific Ocean. If your in the water you are toast.
