So much for controlling the border

In summary, a group of National Guard troops were forced to retreat after being approached by a group of armed individuals near the Mexican border. The troops withdrew safely and no injuries were reported. This incident highlights the issue of securing the border and the need for stricter rules of engagement for the Guard.

I say we fence the entire border. Have cameras all along it, response teams at the ready every 50-100 miles or so. It's certainly doable and necessary in my opinion.

I've heard that almost a third of our prison population is comprised of illegals. I would propose having separate prisons specifically for the illegals and sending a bill to the respective countries for the costs.

I think Raj from The Apprentice made a strong statement about the state of U.S. border security when he took his elephant and mariachi band down to the Rio Grande:

In my opinion the best would be if political borders between countries were
abolished, the world would be unified and everyone could live and work
where he wants without being deported and arrested by the state.

It just doesn't work that way.

It would be nice if there were no crime, no aggression, no injustice, no exploitation, no suffering, . . . . Unfortunately, that is not way of the world at the moment.

The best we could hope for is for each nation to work on it's own economic development and social justice.

It is rather impractical to advocate complete removal of national borders in the forseeable future - even if it is a noble goal.

I agree. Humanity is just not ready for this at the moment. Maybe it will be in 500 years from now.
