So, now you want the militree to enforce domestic law?

The country is not "full." The entire earf's population could move to Tejas and it would have the same density as New York City.

No cars for the "average man." Why would that be? Will Algore be elected president?

Skul funding problems? Easy, if you do not pay, you cannot go to skul.

All the Erlichesque "problems" you claim are best addressed with more freedom, not more government.

Troops on the borders is a soccermommie feel good remedy for politically powerful sunbelt states. The government maintains a miltree to control its people, not protect them.

Immigrants come here to work to build better lives for themselves. They do because the native born will not.

Immigrants are more productive and patriotic than the native born on the couch waiting for WIC vouchers. If you wish to reduce the incentives for immigrants to come here, all it takes is a stroke of a pen, not troops on the border or other window dressing.
