Illegal traffic across our international borders and coastlines threatens the safety and economy of the United States.
Illegal immigrants demonstrate their willingness to break our laws when they cross our border. Even if they break no other laws, many send money back to their foreign families--money that then leaves our economy.
Traffic across our boarders and coastlines includes more than just migrant workers. Illegal drugs flow freely. Just as easily could terrorists and weapons of mass destruction. Contraband is frequently escorted by armed invaders willing to kill anyone who gets in their way, turning the American southwest into a war zone.
Let's require our military to secure our borders and coastlines before it can be used overseas.
