Best idea yet. | 5:46 a.m. June 28, 2009
Can't think of a better use of our military forces than to control our borders. The border guards have had their hands tied by the ACLU and others favoring illegal border breaches. We can call on our military to stop rioting, looting, and in natural disasters but shun the idea of protecting our country at our borders.

Our government can spend trillions of dollars to send our soldiers to defend and die in other countries but are told they can't protect their own country from invasion and armed insurrection by illegal alien human and drug traffickers. The military should be there under their own rules of engagement, POW camps, and military laws with full control of who enters or leaves. After all, aren't we at war with drugs and illegals? And who fights Americas wars?

With the use of military control on the borders we can eliminate all the homeland security waste and save money. This border control is not a domestic problem, its an international problem for the security of america that only the military is equipped to do.

Homeland Security has proven its incompetence in border or drug controls.
