36,000 troops could protect U.S.-Mexico border

Based on the success of the Minuteman project, a report released by the House Immigration Reform Caucus says that the deployment of 36,000 National Guard troops or state militia on the U.S.-Mexico border would “dramatically” reduce illegal immigration from that source. “As we wage the war on terror in foreign lands, we have all our doors and windows open at home,” the report states. “The insanity of such a policy, or silent toleration of such a policy, is almost criminal in itself.” A salute to Rep. Tancredo and his fellow reformers, who, unlike the president, the president’s administration, and the rest of the political establishment, are showing themselves to be worthy of the name American.
