From: "Gary Britt" 

I agree.  They should be armed and trained when to shoot.  Instead of
putting up roads and fences, (that should be done by civilians employed by
the government) the national guard should be laying down land mines.
Because once a couple of people start blowing up, the rest will STOP COMING
and then will see how compassionate Mexico is when they all start demanding
jobs in THEIR country.
