This border is no joke! We need our military down there with tanks and bulldozers to do training exercises and serve as look outs for our Border Patrol. Reservists can do their 2 week detachment down there, we already pay their paychecks!

Bulldoze the brush along the Rio Grande and help clear a path for our BP.
