Quote by: RickSp Exactly. We need to revise our immigration laws so that those now prevented from having any hope of legal immigration have a chance to apply legally. As it is now, even though there is an economic need for Mexican immigrant labor, it is for all intents and purposes impossible to meet that need legally.
Of course sending ten thousand National Guard troops to the border does nothing but strain our over burdened Guard and to play to people's bigotry and fears. | Some DOD statistics on the IRR. There is a call up coming in July of 5600 so a call up of under 10,000 for border patrol doesn't seem to strain the IRR as much as you would seem to imply.
