SUBJECT: [FROM CONSTITUENT] BORDER PROTECTION - THIS STOPS NOW
Representative <NAME> and/or Governor <NAME> :
In any other country, the acts committed on the Krentz' ranch in southern AZ would have been seen as an act of war and a response would have been expected. Since the murder of Mr. Krentz by Mexican militants on his property, on US soil, and on Arizona soil, and since it is for what our military is purely intended:
I and my fellow citizens propose deployment of National Guard troops to the border. I propose manned checkpoints every five miles with ATV patrols in between, and those fancy million dollar UAV drones to cover from above. We demand that no man, woman, or child gets through the border illegally. Not one.
This stops now.
I further propose deployment of regular Army troops along our border to supplement and rotate National Guard troops, not to police our own citizens, but to protect our borders from further invasion and attack. The border must be a one-way sieve.
Our governments have one primary obligation, that is to protect its citizens from foreign invasion. It has failed miserably in the case of the border with Mexico. We have been invaded, one man at a time. You all don't need to be reminded that you took an oath to carry out that protection. How many US citizens must die before something decisive is done?
Respectfully,
<YOUR NAME>
<CITY>, <STATE>
