I want to start off by saying I am apathetic to whether or not we put more patroles on the mexican border for everything but the financial burden of it. If people think it is important to do, I am really not going to be bothered with stopping illegals from walking across the border. The problem I have is that we already have a well equipped and well funded group of people we have hired to secure our borders from invasion for foreigners. It is called the military. It is kind of one of their jobs to secure the US borders. For that purpose they have all sorts of goodies which let them easily know the movements of people around them.
Why should we spend money we do not have to equip new people to do a job we already have people trained to do? Let us pull some of these military people out of foreign wars and ungrateful countries and put 20,000 of them on the border? They can be stationed in america, have their families, be off on the weekends to enjoy their homes recreations, and they already come with the gear.
Seriously, who are you going to be more afraid of; some overrated mall security on an ATV, or a bunch of army people in a tank with a drone above that can see the border jumpers coming from miles away?
