Sure you can....not perfectly, but it can be done and here's the real interesting part, you could use civilian assets to do it in turn adding private sector jobs under governmental oversite. Your southern & northern borders are roughly 7500 miles long, mostly through wilderness, even at 1 man patrolling a 1/4 mile that is around 30,000 men...maybe if you used your national guard, but the logistics of it are insurmountable. I don't know how you are going to resolve your illegal immigrant population, but whatever strategy you try you are going to have to accept the fact that you cannot prevent them getting in.
Arpig, one word, "minefields."
We currently guard S. Korea's border with mines, no-man's lands and Troops and all kinds of sensors and *a mouse* can't get in from N. Korea but they know it. I believe we have 27,000 Troops in S. Korea guarding *Their* border!
And the problem isn't so much Canada but Mexico, Cent. America and the Carribean countries.
We could have that Mexican border locked down tight in 48 hours with Troops. I believe our border with Mexico is 1,948 miles long so that's more than doable especialy with so many Troops comming home from Iraq and Afganistan in the next two years. Hell, we have what, 30,000 Troops up in Washington state with the 7th infantry at Ft. Lewis? (Anyone know?) At Ft. Stewart in Georgia there's I think 60,000 Troops. Here in S. Carolina there's another Ft. with 22,000 I believe and just up the road from me we have Ft. Bragg with a HUGE number of Troops, (100,000?) And then you have Ft Hood in Texas, Ft Cambell in Kentucky, Ft Leonard Wood in Missouri, and more Army Forts in Calif, Nevada, Virginia,Florida and a bunch of other states with probably 300-400,000 more Troops.. We could put 90,000 Troops along that border without breaking a sweat.
And then there's about 200,000 Marines give or take.
Some areas of that border could be controlled for hundreds of miles with only 2-3,000 Troops given the remotness of the area and topography.
Do you think that idiot Obama will do that though? He should have done it in his first week in office! The interests of the American People aren't a very high priority with him, we're in line behind people who are in our country illegally it seems! He listens to "special interests" and not the American People.
We're going to do some "talking" this November and let's see if Obama listens then. If he doesn't come 2012 he can go back to Harvard.
The logistics and tactics aren't the problem.
