I've heard that Illegals cost the USA taxpayers $68 billion

As far as keeping Illegals out of the country, many of those "Powers that be" say 'We couldn't afford to police the border', but we have 130,000 troops in Iraq, and presence in 120 countries and our troops are even getting killed.

The USA Mexican border is about 2200 Miles long, So why couldn't we build some small guard buildings over the border areas, about 2,3 or 4 to the mile, where one guard building would be in sight of another, having each staffed by perhaps 6 soldiers.

This would make either 4,000 guard buildings, 8,000 or 1,000, etc, depending on how many to the mile would be decided on; these guard buildings could be low cost portable buildings, or small mobile homes or even rvs, and the man-woman power would be from 3,000 to 7,000 soldiers guarding the border, and compared to the trillions of dollars we spend taking down world governments, and policing the world, why can't we spend 30 or 40 million dollars to save $68,000,000,000 and secure our borders? No reason,except for the cowardly politicians.

As long as we have politicians that do not put the USA's welfare ahead of their own selfish ambitions, then nothing will be done about it, until Mexico raises its flag on our border towns, and the Northwest states leave the union, states like Wash., Ore, Ida, Utah, Neb, Mont, Wy., N.D., S.D., virtually the whole Northwestern USA
