I'm not sure how we can begin to address the border/illegal situation either from a monetary or defense standpoint until we stop sending our $$ and National Guard troops to Iraq. How much good could have been done for our country if the billions of $$ and the man hours spent patrolling over there would have been used to enforce what is supposedly already in place here? Station some of those Guardsmen on the Mexican border...hire some new border agents...hire some immigration agents to check out US businesses hiring illegals. It's all a matter of perspective. There are many things we could have done to address issues here at home to better this country with the $$ and man/machine power we have used battling insurgents in a faraway land.

Exxon and Haliburton have no interest in the border problem.
