[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 990929, member: 9789"] I don't understand the "tort reform" reference and I don't think that closing the border is a "magical fix". I do believe it can be done. BUT I will go so far as to agree with you that no one has figured it out. The main reason is that [B]closing the border is political suicide[/B]. I don't advocate building a complete fence. There are spots you probably have to have one because of population growth on both sides, and safety factors because of drug cartels. Costs do play a BIG part but what is the cost of having a border that can easily be crossed by anyone. We now have 15 to 20 million extra people since Reagan allowed amnesty. I guess we didn't see the flood of people that thought that was a green light to invade our country. Because of my UPS background, I always have had to come up with solutions to problems. They were not always the best solutions but they helped to mold solutions that worked. I think patrols or the ability to have security with a relatively quick response time is importance to deterrence. Why not establish outposts for our National Guard teams with proximity to the borders for border states. Patrolling the border becomes part of their duty. We could extend these posts to army patrols also. Our Defense budget should have more money allocated for border security. [/QUOTE]
