Most won't be happy unless we round up every illegal, execute everyone of them (after all, they're law breakers) and then dropping Hellfire missiles on anyone who tries to cross the border will be considered "selling out" and "amnesty".
No one said to execute them --- just send them back to their home.
Oh really? And what will you say when the cabotage laws are repealed, and you and all your buddies at Coex start having to compete with foreign carriers, currently prohibited from commercial carriage in the U.S.?
Like flying your little free-trade, foreign government subsidized Brazilian tube? Good. You'll appreciate it even more when all those folks on the frequency start having a little foreign accent to their ICAO English.
We'll see who squawks the loudest then. And their names will be ALPA, APA, and even the ExpressJets pilot's union.
Free trade and free movement of "workers" goes both way, smart guy. Better get used to those flea bag crashpads. It ain't gonna get better.
I know... and I do actually know better. If it weren't for the fact that I'm on my fourth beer, I wouldn't even try. :-)
I've been around FR long enough to know better, but for some reason these immigration threads still seem to push my buttons. I can't completely explain it.
I think perhaps my offense comes from some years that I spent actually standing a post on that border. I was a coastie once upon a time, and I did a lot of time watching that border with binoculars, and boarding boats, and searching for contraband and illegals.
The U.S. has 22,000 miles of "border". We defended this with a force somewhat smaller than the NYPD. The equator is only 2,000 miles longer, and yet there are yahoos around here that seem to think it is a simple and original idea that we should just "seal" that. Right...
I know a lot of good professionals in the Border Patrol, and Customs, and any number of other agencies that really do try their best to do the job they have to do.
To say that we have "open" borders is simply offensive, and essentially untrue. It is a lie. Worse than that, it just pisses on the good work of thousands of patriots that are out there *right now* standing a post on that wall.
This is what really ticks me off.
Pardon the rant.
Whattya gonna say about immigration and job protection once it's your ox being gored, kid? The rest of the Aero industry has been facing it for decades - the last holdouts are you twerps!
Read it and weep. Your hero is gonna cut you off at the knees now that he has a clear majority in both houses. You're gonna compete with airlines that have costs lower than the commuters, flying wet lease airplanes built in the People's Republic (using designs they got from us, naturally).
Keep that chin up. Pray the Unions save your butt.
You make a statement like this and you call other people "nuts"?

It appears as if you're the biggest nut on this thread. You sound just as delusional as bayourod.
"You shouldn't even try to argue with the nuts in this thread. They're as obsessed with immigration as the DUers are with "Bush stole the election"
