JLF, the "most secure" border is S/N Korea's. They have minefields, no-mans lands, all kinds of sensors so that if a mouse gets through at 0300 they know about it. And they have mines that detect tunneling and go off above or below the tunnels. Also, with all the Troops already back or returning by next summer from Iraq (there are still 50,000 Troops in Iraq who will be brought back by July 1st according to Joe Biden) there's certainly no "shortage" of Troops that we're alreaddy "paying". I think 30,000 up in Washington state with the 7th cav, Ft Hood must have 50-75 K, Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri 50k, Ft Stewart Ga. 50k, and Ft Bragg in N.C. is a Huge base! It's in "Fayetteville, we used to call it "Fayettenam" when I was in the Navy because everyone there was just back from or going to Vietnam. There must be 100,000 Troops there! And all the other Army Forts throughout the country. In many areas along that border you could have 10 soldiers watching 25 miles of border while in other areas you'd need 50-100 per mile. Thirty thousand Troops could do it which is a drop in the bucket and who we're paying already. One thing is for sure, if you don't walk in a minefield you won't get blown up.
