..." Solving the illegal immigration problem is doable, but we have to figure out a way to use this forum to affect some serious change"...
There are a lot of great ideas here, but most of them are concentrating on government efforts. I think we've all come to the realization that the ruling class has decided our fate, and there's nothing we can do to change their minds.
IMHO, it's going to take civilian action like they're doing on the Arizona border with the UAV's...etc. That was a private citizen that developed the ones DHS is using now, wasn't it?
Other than that, a tax revolt is about the only thing that is going to grab attention. They can't enforce the law if there are enough people involved.
Phone calls to law enforcement, city agencies, etc... while being entertaining, aren't effective.
We need new ideas. Ones that can be accomplished quickly and easily, so more people are willing to participate.
I'm interested in finding out if there's any way we can affect Asa's job. There's got to be some way to get this guy either fired or shame him out of office. Some way to petition this government for redress of grievances...
