[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1369593, member: 17969"] Oh, i see, so texas citizens dont pay taxes? I guess the money in the state just appears out of nowhere, eh? Again, you missed the point. The cost of deploying troops to the border will have large costs. The cost of the lost time to the soldier, who has a regular job and signed up for one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer, not everyday at the border. Did you miss the iraq/afghanistan war? The national guard, who BUSH abused, came home to find they lost their jobs, their homes, their cars and in some cases, their wives or girlfriends. To you, they are just robots who get ordered around and do what they are told despite consequences. It all comes down to cost vs. effect. What effect will the national guard have on the border? Central and South american children will STILL be able to cross the border and come here. The National Guard will have ZERO authority to turn them around. Maybe in your world, you believe they can turn them away, but you better try understanding the circumstances. TOS. [/QUOTE]
