It would be a mistake of enormous proportions if we erected our own wall along our southern border in the form of the military. Mexico is our neighbor. friend. and economic partner. It would be a mistake to station troops who have been trained to kill the enemy on the international border. We should also consider the damage to the readiness of the U.S. military when our soldiers get away from their mission. It would be a great mistake to do that. We are not for illegal immigration. In fact. I believe in strengthening our border. but with people who are well trained. who are qualified to do just that.
