Try an army next time. But ofcourse if your in Houston, you can't even ask them if their legal(in spanish ofcourse)
One down, 13,000,000 to go. Guess they'd better hire a couple more 13 man crews. Hey, but this could solve the unemployment problem. Just hire all the out of work union thugs as border agents. Solves two problems.
Get the local LEAs in on the action: Offer a bonus for each one caught. If they are conviced criminals, it is likely they have default warrants, too.
Jeez. These guys sound like they never solved a scale-up problem in a business.
We need someone to do the job that Americans won't do.
They should focus on guys with names like Muhammed, Abu, and Osama first off.
A long journey starts with a single step.
Putin should move the Chechens to Siberia. Now that I think of it we should help the Russians populate Sibera with illegal Mexicans.
Half Million?
They're wasting time. Just compare SS numbers with names and birth dates. No match, no work. Then watch them deport themselves voluntarily.
A several thousand dollar fine on all employers that employ illegals would really help finance deporting them.
Yes, of course. But they also have to know they won't stay long. That will take the pressure off at the borders, and make it possible to make them secure against even terrorist infiltrators.
Oh you haven't heard....Houston is run by dumb dums. The ones that make the big bucks are Repubs. It's called by some BS PC name. I had to go for minor surgery this week, and I took the person going with me down the illegal lane, otherwise known as Westpark. He bitched for a mile about why the cops didn't do something about it. I explain the situation, then he went on about the people HIRING them. When I had my store in Corpus, the INS came in to check my employees docs. Ofcourse REAGAN was Prez them. it is a nightmare here.
There is a law, It's not enforced like Reagan did, becasue no one likes being called a racist. that's their favorite tactic.
I believe it. Half of Brasil lives in Massachusetts now.
And this POS is an attorney??? UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS ARE CRIMINALS!!! DON'T YOU GET IT??????? Damn, they need to take this guy out of his comfy condo and make him own some border land - and farm it for a living. Then we'll see what his attitude is about "undocumented immigrants" after about 6 months of that.
Pardon me for beating a dead horse, but, IMHO, we're attacking this problem backwards. We've got a bunch of agents chasing the bad guyz. And for every bad guy they catch, four more waltz over the border in AZ or NM.This makes no sense to me.
Let's close the border first. Nice and tight. Then we can chase the bad guyz.
At least then we won't be going backwards.
