I have an idea: bring home all of our troops from around the world fighting
other people's wars and have them protect us.  I know it sounds scandalous,
but hey! maybe we have something worth protecting too!

But on a less sarcastic note, have you ever read Michael Badnarik's
(Libertarian candidate for pres. last Nov.) webpages?  I think he had/has
the most sensible solutions than any of the other individuals seeking for
the Presidency last November.  For example, here is his webpage about how
to handle the border issue:
http://www.badnarik.org/plans_immigration.php
and while your there poke around and see what other great ideas he has.
Out of all of the other Pres. candidates he was by far my favorite over-all.

Best wishes,
