So maybe we should hire more border patrol agents?
I've always said that since we have dozens of military bases scattered across this country why not locate one right on our southern border and conduct training excercises back and forth along the border with smaller posts scattered along that border? Not that the military is in charge of enforcement of the border but if choppers or jets were routinely screaming up and down it, it would provide quite a deterrant. It would not cost any more than we currently spend on them doing the same thing in a dozen other places in the country. Not to mention it's in a desert much like we have been fighting our last couple wars in. Not that they would be enforcing imigration but they could get on their radio saying, "Border patrol this is Air Force 1-niner you have about a dozen people strolling across the border at such and such coordinates in the event you are interested, have a nice day, this is 1-niner out". We have over a dozen joint Air Force/Army bases in the USA why not put one smack dab on our southern border? We spend more than the top 10 countries in the world put together training our military, why not do it where it might accomplish another objective free of charge?
