Militarize our southern Border?

Is it closer now then ever before? We are finally starting to guard Iraq's Iranian and Syrian borders, why not bring them back and do the same here?
The troop levels we have on our border now are a joke (i wanna say 3000). But all these soldiers are going to get 'boarder training', and Im sure we have learned, and refined, quite a few urban warfare methods.
Now if we could only get that cave warfare down

Makes sense to me, primary role of our military is to protect our borders, not iraqi borders.

It is already militarized. It is just that the drug/human smugglers have all the weapons and are committing most of the violence.
I am in favor of a series of fences along the border and an appropriate number of troops to guard that border. If you do not have a border you do not have a country.
I do not see it happening anytime soon however. Both parties want the Latino vote and slave labor, country be damned. And it is a damn shame.

or we could put pressure on mexico to uncorrupt their government, rework nafta so it is FAIR trade instead of cheap exploited labor trade, stop giving everyone who crosses the border a free ride, enforce minimum wage(ie punish employers who higher illegals), realize high school kids did the same jobs in the early years of our country as illegals do today, we have millions unemployed(there is no labor shortage). we can do all those things before putting troops on the border and a lot more good things will happen for everyone.

We should hire the Mexicans to help keep out the Mexicans.
I bet we could get the labor really cheap.

That is how most empires seem to end.
History is cyclical. And we are reaching the end of ours based upon my observations. It will be interesting to see how it plays out..

The U.S. is doing exactly that. Three rounds per soldier and they have to call the border patrol before doing anything.

That's funny, I thought that most empires seem to end when their respective populaces forget about what makes them truly strong.
You know, like how people forget that corporations are the true strength of America.

Spoken like a true economist. 
The true strength of America is not her corporations, it is the United States Constitution.

Wages are artificially being held down because of illegal aliens. Get rid of them and the employers will have no choice but to raise the wages to their rightful levels and then they will have no problem at all finding people who are willing to work for them.
