H.R. 1986. Allows American Soldiers to Assist the Border Control



Rep. Virgil Goode has reintroduced a bill (H.R. 1986) that would authorize the Secretary of Defense to assign members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps to assist the Department of Homeland Security in the performance of border protection functions.

The Minuteman Project proved that grandmothers in lawn chairs, armed only with radios and binoculars, can stop illegal migration.

But it's not their job to protect our borders, it's the job of the federal government, at leaset that is what is says in Article IV, Section 4 of our Constitution.

Protecting our borders is one of the few legitimate reasons to have a federal government -- but it is the one that our politicians are completely ignoring.

For thet past several years, Congressman Virgil Goode (R-VA) has introduced such legislation and, with our help, has managed to get it passed in the House -- only to see the bill die in the U.S. Senate, where liberals still rule, despite party labels.

At our request, Congressman Goode has just introduced his bill again. It is H.R.1986, and, if we can get enough cosponsors and an overwhelming victory in the House, maybe we can get the Senate to wake up and do their job.

Thanks to the Minuteman Project, a lot of Americans have awakened from their slumber and have discovered the real dangers of open borders and uncontrolled immigration.

This is the best opportunity I have seen in more than a decade for getting Congress to pass a bill to put troops on the border, but I need your help, today, to win this battle.

We don't need to create a new army to patrol our borders -- we already have one. And it is time we put them on our own borders to defend our own nation instead of Korea, Bosnia, Haiti or wherever else we keep sending them.

Let's bring our boys home and put them on our own border where they can stop drugs, disease, illegal aliens and terrorists from entering our country.

Our borders are as open today as they were the day before 9/11. It is outrageous that both political parties appear to be willing to put politics ahead of the best interests of their constituents.

Gotta have the troops to put there.It seems they're more needed protecting Iraq,South Korea,and Taiwan's borders.

If the military cannot watch the border... we need a new form of government. I shall do some writing.

Supposedly we really don't have the troops to put there.But seeing as how we have troops in over 120 countries worldwide-they can't all be needed where they're at.

Thanks for posting this, it's another step in the right direction.
