Re: Allan Wall's Column: Iraq Effort Proves We Can Seal the Border—If We Want

If America wants to solve the illegal immigrant problem, why don't we just draft them into the military as was done to the Irish when they got off the ship during the Civil War.

Let's train them to be good soldiers and send them off to Iraq or wherever. Upon completion of their loyal (to the United States) military service, a process can be set up for them to apply for citizenship.

I served my country faithfully for 22 years and am proud of it.
