Guarding our border isn't a big task. The problem lies in the fact our leaders are short sighted fools either looking for a quick buck from the cheap labor/slave lobby or votes from the Mexican nationalists lobby. We do a better job defending our national parks from litterbugs than we do protecting our borders from invasion. 20,000-30,000 military police and a very good fence with small border bases every 10 miles could easily stop this problem.

The Coast Guard is a branch of the Navy tasked with defending our coastal border, why can't the land borders be given the same protection by the Army? Defending this country IS their job after all.
