The other 1% would become POW's.
I like the idea of military on the borders, but the end result is they will surrender, be taken into custody, detained until a deportation hearing and when detention extends beyond a certain short period, released on bail or no bail and to me that is worth the risk to them. Then they float and roam, work and steal, and we have the same result. We need a different plan of some type. I know many like the thought of power and force, locking them up and really showing them we mean business, but yet, what does that really do? It just costs us a lot of money without much of a different outcome. That's why I like the sanctions idea, Judy's Plan B, make everyone from their country pay for this instead of Americans. It's their families back home they send the money to. It's their countries back home who gain the benefit of having less mouths to feed and less criminals to chase. We need something more strategic that stops them from coming here to begin with, like economic sanctions.

Our military is never going to shoot unarmed civilians surrendering at the borders. They're just going to catch them and turn them over to BP and the rest stays the same until we change it.
