I agree we need our military to protect our country. Clearly, the Border Patrol is insufficient. It’s unconscionable that post-9/11, our borders remain incredibly porous to the extent that illegal aliens have unfettered access to our country. If our border is a revolving door for illegals, it’s a revolving door for terrorists.
Unfortunately, strategically we also need to maintain a military presence in those regions, now more than ever. Thanks to Bush, we have alienated virtually the entire world.
We need to have Marines deployed from Quantico and other bases in the U.S. on a rotating 3-month schedule to our borders, prepared for combat. It’s appalling that our government considers cheap illegal labor of greater importance than our national security.
