Paul you make a valid point but I find it hard to believe that a pool of candidates couldn't quickly be assembled via retired military and police . They have a knowledge base right out of the gate . A mix of older/wiser/retired training some younger folks would work .
I think part of this is coming up with the right number of people ..... do we need 250 or 500 or 2000 ? I think current border patrol officers would be the ones to ask they know roughly what is needed based on real world experience . Patrolling and monitoring the border can be solved.
