Really huh? So them fighting over in iraq is ok though? Our waters are voulnerable right now? All the drug traffickers are running rampid right now right?
Yeah right.
You take the guys out of Iraq, and put them on our southern border, This is not hard to understand.

I'm confused.. take the CG's out of Iraq or the army out of Iraq to defend the border???
There are ~1951 miles of border between Mexico and the US... thats alot of gaurding.... show me a plan (the gov't) that can accomplish this.. I say it is BS.... cant be done.
I'm ignoring 5000 miles shared with Canada, so they sneak into canada and then sneak across there....

No doubt... however this is typical...
If I were to apply for research money saying I'm going to do this without a how, when etc... it would get laughed at...
Congress can say 11Million people will get deported and our borders secured... but there is no How or when..... go figure....

I've made a fool out of myself? Oh please...
So far you've suggested we replace 11 million people with 2 million inmates, use the US Military for a domestic assult ala Afghanistan and Iraq and turn the border into a carnival shooting gallery.
I'd say the Snake Plissken comment was right in line, and damn funny to boot

Ofcourse you say it is BS, your commited to failure, you will never understand how it can be done.
We defend it the same way we invade countries. With military force, sure this sounds extreme . Every war we have ever fought sounded extreme.

Umm.....NO...But thats a different thread and a different argument.
I would love to hear how the Coast Guard is going to patrol the borders in their cutters though...that should be interesting.

How is that a ridiculous comment...you're the one who brought up the idea of taking a fighting force that was built for protecting our shores....on the WATER, and using them to protect the Borders....on LAND.
....and putting even more of a strain on the Coast Guard isn't exactly going to help strengthen the defense of our coasts either.
Drug Trafficking is running rampant, our nation's Seaport security is a joke, and we are currently in a war on terrorism. and you want to use our fighting men to round up Pedro and his family for trying to sneak in for the chance at picking onions for below minimum wage.
....and I'm Dilusional

Yes you are, the Coast guard are specifically trained to guard borders, you take them ALONG WITH The OTHER FORCES ( I put that in caps so you selective reading would pick it up) And asign them to our southern borders. You take the CG and have them train the National guard currently deployed in Iraq to protect out borders on land.
And I guess you don;t think drugs come through our southern borders right! HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

No they are specifically trained for Seaport and Harbor Security (I Underlined and Bolded for your Selective reading Pleasure)
On 29 January 2003, General Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, was asked, "The Coast Guard announced today [it is] sending eight cutters, 600 people, to the Persian Gulf, which I understand is the first time they have been dispatched to a combat zone since the Vietnam War. What's the thinking behind that, and what's their mission going to be?" General Myers answered, "For the Coast Guard, primarily for port and harbor and waterway security. That's what they do best."
This also from the US Coast Guard Web Site...its there Mission Statement
"The United States Coast Guard is a military, multi-mission, maritime service and one of the nation’s five Armed Services. Its mission is to protect the public, the environment, and U.S. economic interests – in the nation’s ports and waterways, along the coast, on international waters, or in any maritime region as required to support national security."

And this here makes sense take a unit that is specifically trained to operate on the Water and have THEM train the troops that were already trained to work on the ground. HAHAHAHAHAA!!

Drugs come into this country by Air, Sea, and Land. Weakening one area to strengthen another does absolutely no good.

TDF;
Exactly...
The CG's have a tough enough job already...
Yeah they deal with illegals (cubans) who try and float over, but that is not their main gig!
I've had enough of this thread... circular logic is a waste of an argument!

Yes, they are specifically traind to guard borders, they are trained to search vessles, and read people on a face to face basis. just because a RV can't float don't not make it any different then a boat hahahah
So you think searching boats and land vehicles are different in some way hahahahaha. They are TRAINED TO FIND SMUGGLERS HAHAHA they have been dealing with similar problems on our coasts for decades, they can help train the national guard to deal with the new issues they will face
. So by your reasoing, Navy should not fly jets right? They should leave that to the Airforce correct? After all the navy it trained to fight on the water! HAHAHAHAH Let me guess, they coast guard need to be on ships to function right? Dude, your hilarious
Drugs come into this country by Air, Sea, and Land. Weakening one area to strengthen another does absolutely no good
Again, more proof of your selective reading, you take the troops that are in iraq and asign them to the borders, not take them from the seaports You are definetly the only one here with selective reading issues hahaha
Everything else I didn't bother addressing for obvious reasons.
