PING!! Over here! (You'd better take a Valium first!) LOL!! Ha ha!!
Ahhh, gotcha.
LOL
I agree.
That works too, unfortunately.
Most likely.
>>"By 2000, there were an estimated 9.2 million Mexicans living and working in the US."<<
Now we have 20 million illegal Mexicans living and working in the US. We are losing the war thanks to our Republican President.
the same way they did last time around forged documents..and liberal court cases..
When I first read your article I thought that the ignorant generals you were talking about were on our side, but when I got into the point about Mexico being declared a de facto territory of the U.S. I got a little confused. Who are the ignorant generals that you are talking about?
If they are on our side then I certainly agree.
If they are on the other side it brings up a point of view that I hadn't thought of before and could either be brilliant rope-a-dope or a huge miscalculation.
We need to stop payment of all entitlements to people who are in this country illegally. If poor people think that they can receive free stuff somewhere, no barrier will keep them from going there. On the other hand, if they can't receive free stuff, then they have less reason to try. Stopping the payment of entitlements should include all education benefits and medical care.
We need to punish companies that hire illegal aliens. Again, I don't blame poor people for going where they will find work. I do blame those who hire illegal aliens and provide a motive for poor people to break our laws. If the risk of being caught were greater than the profit from hiring illegals, then companies wouldn't contribute to the problem by doing so.
We need to stop shielding people from the natural consequences of trying to break our laws. If someone tries to cross the desert illegally and dies of thirst, his death is his own fault. I can understand his motive for crossing that desert, but we shouldn't try to protect people from the natural barriers that protect this country.
We need to allow reasonable commerce between small communities along the border. There are small towns on the border that have carried on cross-border trade for years because the desert has isolated them from the "outside world" in either country. Modern transportation has lessened this isolation, but these towns still have symbiotic relationships that cross the border. We should shut the border to those who want to come into the rest of America illegally, but we should create legal means for people to carry on traditional relationships with those who live 200 yards away. Cutting off this trade only gives the people on the Mexican side more incentive to go further into America finding work when their towns can't survive.
Bill
He gets part of the blame, but Congress gets most of the blame.
I doubt that will ever happen.
Two fences, 250 yards apart, with antipersonnel mines between them. Mexico-side fence clearly marked with signs in English and Spainish that the zone between the fences is mined and those that wish to cross will probably die. Fences to be topped with concertina wire.
I say mines because we would not need as many people manning the border (mines don't sleep or get distracted), but put guards every so often in case the mines get avoided somehow.

And my Mom and Dad with my sisters were here too!
Si Senor, they will get benefits too. No problemo, mi Amigo.
I work for US government against Americanos, not for them! I fight for Reconquista Movimiento
Estudiantil Chicano de Azatlan.
Mariachi Varga, Herb Albert and El Presidente Bush make me dance and drink tequila to party for victory.
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is all lies. El Presidente Bush know that and he fight for Mexico. MEChA become strong everyday. We must help Mexicanos get colleges money free to win.
'All' (It's obviously more involved) it would take to bring another territory into subjugation is to declare all payments cease until taxes are paid and regulations are met. Much like each individual state is done now.
Do I think the corrupt people in charge care to emulate those they send their unwanted too? Not as long as they see their crime as a paying entity.
First time they get caught, they work for a year -- wouldn't take too long to complete.
The one in California south of San Diego works just fine and is probably responsible for the increase in traffic in Arizona and New Mexico.
The cost for the entire border to be so fenced would probably be less than the cost for a month or two of the Iraqi war, and would once and for all establish that this is our country, not Mexico.
Having said that, there are plenty of other methods that work. But Israel and the U.S. have found that good fences do indeed work.
No way would the elites pay taxes --- they would take their wealth to Europe --- where much of it already is. Mexico just raised it's minimum wage to the equivalent of $4.15 a day --- which is lower than it was a couple of years ago when they raised it to the equivalent of $4.35 a day (inflation I guess) --- even the middle class Mexicans are lucky if they make $1 or $2 an hour. A doctor in Mexico is lucky if he makes what a nurse here makes. Just about everyone would qualifty for many welfare programs and the EITC --- so we're not going to collect many taxes. Also --- the Mexican government is planning a way to collect taxes on the income it's illegal citizens are making in the USA --- it would condemn the USA however if it tried to tax that money flowing out.
But the leftists wanted to go to Canada -- not Mexico. I wonder why --- Mexico is exactly the kind of country leftists make --- very socialized, high rates of union membership, labor unions very entertwined with the government.
good one!!!
