It's the thought that counts, you know

Worried about an invasion of 217 million-trillion-bajillion illegal immigrants? Can't use National Guardsmen, who are supposed to be called up only in times of state or national emergencies, to police the Mexican border full-time because they're too busy having to police the streets of Iraq full-time? Don't feel like using any of that congressional drunken-sailor spending to hire more border patrol agents like you've promised for years?

Simple: Just send billions and billions of dollars of public money to private contractors to start cruising around the Southwest. Privatization uber alles and all that jazz.
