#7 I'm guessing that Canadian tunnel was for Hollywood types exiting the fascist state created by Chimpy McHitlerburton.

#8 If this works so well..surprise, surprise..why are we expanding the effort ? This is exactly why Bliss was put there more than 100 years ago. To control the border with Army troops. Let's get back to it. We know it works well.

#9 From 1990 to 1995 I was the TF Commander for the deployment of Active Duty National Guard Troops on the U.S. Mexico Border to conduct counterdrug missions. We supported the US Customs Service at the Ports of Entry doing secondary cargo inspections, and deployed up to ten four-man LP/OP teams conducting clandestine surveillance of trafficking routes to alert the US BP to crossings. We used aircraft and FLIR, and used NVGs and optics to enhance our ability to surveil in stand-off positions. In the latter stages of the operations we were conducted mounted overt patrolling in remote desert areas of the border, as well as overt and clandestine radar surveillance. After five years and literally hundreds of support missions, I can claim a fair understanding of the effect of troops in the border! It works extremely well, especially in a mix of overt and covert operations. The blather that it doesn't comes from people who either have no direct experience, or who have a motive that prefers political expedience to protecting national security.

#11 Face it, the citizens of this country have no choice when it comes to accepting illegal immigration. We are absolutely addicted to it and our economy is totally dependent upon it. Business loves the cheap labor, the housing industry loves the increased demand for housing, the retail industy peddles all kinds of goodies to immigrants, policticians salivate over all the campaign contributions from business and votes from immigrant groups. The US is about the only western country that has a positive nonmuslim population growth rate (thanks to immigrants).

I do wonder what will happen if we have a huge recession or the dollar collapses. Will the immigrants merely be marching on Washington if they aren't getting paid, or will they riot (like in LA after R. King)?

Do we want to continue to add people until we have a population the size of India's? Can we stop immigration without causing serious damage to the economy?

#12 SS.. We are absolutely addicted to it and our economy is totally dependent upon it.

thats a lie.

Can we stop immigration without causing serious damage to the economy?

you got that backasswards SS, illegal immigration is causing tremendous damage to the econmy.

Not to mention the respect for our laws, national security, flood of illegal drugs, voting rights, phony ID rackets, or the corrosive nature of a massive invasion of non-citizens on our body politic.
