Thread: Obama Considers Request to Deploy Troops to Mexican Border

He should militarize the border, but to protect Americans in the US, not to protect Mexicans in Mexico.
Maybe the military on the border would prevent the thousands of Mexican children who cross the border Mon-Fri to go to school there, even though they and their parents live in Mexico. Then again, they are so bold they would probably just keep coming.
I say militarize the border if they are going to stop everyone from coming here illegally and not just ignore those who "just want to work" or "just want to go to school for free" or "just want free medical care". If this turns into something where everyone is let go and only obvious drug smugglers are bothered, it will be a waste of money, more to help Mexico than to help the US.

Hey steph When I was watching the border patrol hearing the other day they quoted a fact that 99% of illegals arrested in your hometown Tuscon sector are NOT Prosecuted!!!! Hell yeah they need to militarize now and your right in the most vulnerable zone as of yet!!!
