Why don't we send Troops to secure the border?

The immigration system is a load B.S. just like the war on drugs is/was. It's a scam that the U.S. government runs to collect millions of $ for their own personal gain. We can't trust the U.S. government to be honest with us, because they never are, never were and never will be. The government wants as many people as they can get, so they can suck taxes off of them like a leech sucks blood. Why would they want to stop the illegals, when they generate tax money? The welfare is just a drop in a bucket and it's their cover, so they look like they're spending our money on civilians. This is our cut of our money, and the politicians keep the rest of our money. I hope everyone refuses to pay their taxes and revolt against the government. I'm pretty sure than this is what we did to England when they were screwing us over. We need to do it again and do a total gut and build from new.

That would make it too hard for the illegals to run over the border, that's why. The government wants illegals to come over. The government doesn't care that yours and my tax dollars pay for border patrol and welfare. As long as it doesn't come out of their pay checks, lavish vacations, boat parties money, 'petty cash' (that's spent on spas, expensive lunches & dinners, strippers) and well you know what I mean. They get caught spending our tax money like they have a bottomless money pot. Oh yeah, they do.

Actually the military is the next step if law enforcement is overpowered by it's adversaries. So YES the military's job is to secure our borders from the attack of illegal people. Just like when a city gets out of control and the National Guard steps in with armed soldiers to take the city back. Example. Brockton, Massachusetts in 1991.

I think they should shoot to kill and then go into Mexico and kill the rest of them just to be safe.

The Posse Comitatus Act forbids the use of troops for law enforcement. Thus, no troops can be used to stop illegal immigration.

@Matt S,

There are approximately 12 million illegals in the United States.

Even if ALL of them were on welfare, it would only account for 20% of the welfare recipients.

Not all of them are on welfare. I would say 25% of those.

Which accounts for about 5%.

Why do you think our government wants to benefit the people? Illegals make them filthy rich. They're not changing a thing.

Because Obama won't allow armed personnel on the border, that is except the DoJ and DHS while they are running guns into Mexico.

Posse comitatus act forbids the use of military personell to enforce civil law.

I thought thats the purpose of our border patrol.

The military aren't law enforcement.

I thought Conservatives and Libertarians support "freedom" and not "government socialism"

Waste of time, energy and money.
