No, it would be easier to stay at home for the drugs... The problem is U.S. consumption of drugs. Of course, that's an economy driven by the illegal nature of recreational drugs and its effect on price. Very much like Prohibition in its impact.

They do quite a bit, but we won't finance what it takes to do the job we *say* that we want done. The effort over the year's is like the way Bush/Cheney/Rumsfield have run Iraq, trying to sneak it in on the cheap. Is that the soldier's fault? Is that the army or marine's fault? Should we send over militia? Hell NO!

You need facilities to hold people, you need a lot of people to maintain the patrols. You need to remove the economic incentives. Try to work on one part of the puzzle without the others, and you are doomed to failure. Better not to spend anymore than at present if you don't want to do it right.

And putting together a bunch of militia clowns sounds like the best way to make a bad situation worse.

So crack down on the employers and crack down on the drug suppliers and users.

Remove the market, remove a reason for the illegal immigration.
