worried United States	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Jul 24, 2010 I agree Mexico needs help but if the US Army comes to help is it help? The US are the ones that wanted the fence up and deporting people back to mexico. I truly believe that the people of mexico will stand hand in hand with the cartels because of how awful the US has become

I truly believe that the people of mexico will stand hand in hand with the cartels because of how awful the US has become Aren't they already hand in hand with the cartels? Do we really believe that the cartel doesn't have contacts in the USA already? Do, we as a Nation continue to be used and abused by illegals crossing the border? Do, we as a Nation want to continue to take chances that terrorist are not crossing the borders too? I think they have, and anyone who thinks differently needs a wake up call - hopefully not another 9/11 to do it. America has the right to secure it's borders, like Mexico and any other Nation.
No to Incumbants Alpharetta, GA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 Jul 25, 2010 Are you kidding me? The President is sending 1200 National Guard troops to help stop illigal immigration at the border of TX, AZ, NM, and CA. That equates to 300 troops per state, and if they work an 8 hour shift that would mean only 100 additional bodies on patrol per state. What a joke! We are at a point where we need 1200 troops deployed to EACH STATE now!
US VET INFANTRY Eagle Pass, TX	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 Jul 25, 2010 I THINK PRESIDENT OBAMA NEEDS TO PULL ALL OF OUR TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ/AFG SO THAT THEY CAN SECURE OUR BORDERS. GROUND TROOPS IN BOTH BORDERS MEX/CAN AND NAVY IN SEA ANY AIRFORCE PROVING AIR SUPPORT IN LAND/SEA. THE IRAQI WAR WILL NEVER END ITS A CIVIL WAR OVERTHERE AND WELL AFG ITS A TOTALLY DIFERENT STORY.

US VET Beaverton, OR	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #6 Jul 25, 2010 It is about time we try to stop this illegal immigration from Mexico as the Unemployment rate in the United States is still sky rocketing. I have been out of work for almost 2 years and my daughter has been looking for work for almost 1 year to no avail... but we really need a lot more troops down there to stop this invasion of your country, our jobs, and our lives. I hope other states follow AZ's lead and make it really illegal for the illegal immigrates here in Oregon and through out the US.
LADYGAGA San Antonio, TX	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #7 Jul 26, 2010 Judged: 1 STOPPING ILLEGALS FROM COMING IN TO THE U.S. DOESNT ONLY APPLY TO MEXICANS. ITS ALSO EVERY OTHER RACE THAT TRIES TO SNEAK IN. SO NOT ONLY DO THEY NEED TROOPS NEAR THE BORDER, BUT ALSO TIGHTER SECURITY AT PORTS OF ENTRY AND AIRPORTS.
2fewhoes Dothan, AL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #8 Jul 30, 2010 Put U.S. forces on the border with shoot to kill orders and you will see a secured border very quickly.
