Sealing the borders doesn't do anything except promote more illegal immigration. We outsource jobs where they are cheap so as long as there are people out there willing to work for cheap our 'living standard' will not change.

you cant get in if the electric fence is installed , tough times demand tough answers.. freeloaders annoy:

they have tunnels that stretch a mile in length. I doubt that little fence will do anything.

Sealing the border would have more people trying to sneak in illegally since they couldn't get in legally. Besides constantly running a 2000 mile electric fence isn't feasable.

is there a way to stop them from coming into america " illegally"?

i don't think there's anything you can do to drastically change it. Well, you could probably start shooting everyone that tries to come across and that will be leaked over to Mexico and they'll be too afraid to cross! happy:

implant everyone with a microchip which explodes when the person crosses the border happy:

so by cutting it in half you are willing to doom the soldiers already out there? Clinton slashed defense spending and now our humvees dont have the proper armor

If you cut military spending in half you won't have enough of an army to defend either.

I think we could cut spending on every line item. I would not target one particular group or agency. I would make them all reduce their spending by 5%. With all of the inefficiency in our goverment, each agency should have no trouble finding 5% to cut. And I mean an actual cut, not a reduction of the increase.

yeah, that has nothing to do with anything, considering clinton was out of office a good 2 years before our military was in iraq. oOo:

Have you ever sold the governement anthing? Do you realize how long it is from approval for an expenditure and when the thing that they bought actually goes into service? Especially on tanks, vehicles, planes, etc.

if that was the case, then bush should have waited until the army had the supplies before he sent in the troops. if the clinton military was so underfunded, then it wouldnt have been able to knockout the taliban and iraqi govt. lack of armor and equiptment was only noticeable until after the occupation began and when bush introduced his first military budget.

I would still nuke the red states.
