Of course not Jim. Were Ron Paul president, the question would be moot anyway. The soldiers would be manning our borders and dealing with illegal immigration. |

Pat, We would have to change the law as active duty military cannot do police work etc within our borders. This is why the Posse Commitus (sp) law in California reads: Anyone over 18 years old, and not on active military duty, must assist and render aid to a police officer when so summoned... However Congress could declare that we are being invaded by Mexico (we are) then use the military to protect the borders. The truth is that Conservatives want cheap labor and liberals want the Hispanic vote so we will continue to see what we have seen under both Republican and Democratic control lots of talk and little action. The good news is that based on birth rates in about 30 years Hispanics will be a majority nation wide. Then they can make Spanish our offical language and they will probably close the borders. |

Excellent points Ken and I stand corrected. For temporary relief during what we all consider an invasion, we can probably get away with it under current law. I cringe every time I hear tell of another American serviceman killed over there. For Christ's sake, bring the damn troops home now. Why waste another life. |

Since the end of WWII we (both parties) have been sticking our noses where it doesn't belong. i.e. nation building. This is a habit that will be very hard to break. Like most bad habits the addicted spend most of their effort talking about their problem rather than acting on it. |

Seems to me we have been going at this the wrong way. Burning Korans brings them out into the open, then KaaaBooom. There goes some more potential terrorists into martyrdom. |

Well its their country, it is occupied by foreign troops. To many afghans its the same as the french resistance, German occupiers & a puppet Vichy government. You have to see from their perspective. |
