I kind of have to go with this. I never agreed with a fence. What I thought was if we brought our troops home from the middle east, they could work and back up the border patrol plugging holes in our borders. Hell, we are paying them weather it be peace time or war anyhow, and to me this is like a war. While that would work admirably, I do disagree with the idea of taking our military off of practice and such. Moreover, we'd end up creating dangerous precedents of using the military for a traditionally law enforcement role.    However, I'm all up for blanket authorization to fire on anyone south of the fence, and letting a bunch of cranky retired guys (and the rest of us of course, although most of us would probably just do the weekends) have a free-fire zone all day long.    Can you imagine the 60-year-old 50cal guys keeping score over walkie talkies? :)
