"Bring the Troops Home to Protect the Border"

 * Issues it deals with** : Immigration, National security, Afghanistan, partly economy


 * Purpose**: our bill is trying to accomplish two tasks at once and help with a third issue. It will help to solve the need to bring the troops home to America and out of a war that most will argue that we don't need to be fighting. Our bill will also work to accomplish keeping the boarders safer and having more of a military presences. By leaving Iraq and Afghanistan, we will be not using the $15,000,000,000 dollers that we are spending in Operations in those countrys. eliminating the Ops will not cost us any loss of security and it will only save us money. We propose to bring the troops home from Afghanistan and instead place them on various camps to help protect our border to fight a war that NEEDS to be fought. The presence of the troops might scare away the weak minded thieves and smugglers in Mexico while the heavy hitting Cartels will have to be more careful when crossing the boarder. more directly, we will have more man power to be able to detect any illegal actions and events through infer-red cameras that are already being used in the war in Afghanistan. This bill will improve many things and will not have a major negative effect to society.


 * Article related to issue**

[] In this article, a drug cartel, presumably the Zetas or the Gulfs, who had been at war with one another over drug routes to America since 2006, committed these murders. This is a prime reason for why we need to step up our military presence in the Mexican region. Around 50,000 people have died in drug-related violence in Mexico since 2006, when President Felipe Calderon deployed the army to combat the cartels. We would not be combating the cartels but just keeping the trouble out of the United States.


 * Eligibility:** The bill mainly effects immigrating Mexicans and fights to keep illegals out of the country. This bill could also effect military family's as their boys will be allowed to return to the United States to finish their term on something that could save as many as 50,000 more lives.

1. We will buy fuel to fuel the transport planes that are already in use in the army. This will take about one week 2. We will begin the building process of the Camps. This could take up to 6 months 3. In Afghanistan, we will gather up all troops into varies landing spots and airports, in friendlier countries if need be. This could take up to two or three months 4. We will import the Radar equipment, night vision, guns, food, beds, clothing, etc. into the camps area. This could take up to 3 weeks 5. The troops will be flown into the camps and be set to patrol immediately. 6. The troops will finish out their term and then will be given the option to have a received pay for a 4 year contract to continue working the boarder.
