For those who may not know her, we have a long-time FREEPER who has at last returned to us after a long and arduous recovery from some difficult health problems. When she was previously active, many of us valued her wit and ideas. Her handle is YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS.

WELCOME BACK, ROSE!!!

Rosie has come up with an idea on how to handle the illegal alien problem and has asked that I post her idea for her. I can take no credit at all for it; it is purely her idea!

YELLOW ROSE'S IDEA

Instead of closing the military bases, why dont we use them as detention centers for the illegal aliens?

The idea would:

1)keep the local economies going, if not increase jobs

2)get illegals off the street until they can be either tried and sentenced for crimes or deported instead of relying on the illegals to report themselves for deportation

3) discourage more illegals from coming over the border

It is worth 15 minutes of fame when it works.

Uh, oh. I best be canceling the checks I just sent out...

You've been gone a LONG time! WELCOME BACK! Glad you're feeling better!

"after 10 years they are eligible for citizenship..."

Ten years is just a minimum and they must earn their way out through education, learning English and consistent hard work. Family members don't get a free ride out. Come to think of it, we should apply these conditions to everyone living in public housing too. Hulkster

Detention centers? Sounds a lot like concentration camps to me. In other words, even if no one else does, I reject the plan outright.

[Ekoa]

Let's call them "Hope Centers" or "New Freedom Job Training Centers" and organize the "prospective citizens" into work crews that go out and earn the food and shelter for a specified amount of time until they qualify for citizenship.

Send them to Tent City, Maricopa County, Arizona and let Sheriff Joe Arpaio handle them. They will work hard for their beans.

Welcome Home Rosie!

And as usual another brilliant idea!

[HighlyOpinionated]

Use the bases as prisons and do as they do in Central America. If there's no family to provide provisions, the inmates starve to death and have no access to medical care, clothing, dental care. And NO televisions or work-out rooms.

The illegals wouldn't have to stay for long periods of time. Just long enough to have a file created on them. Get eye prints and ear prints as well as DNA and finger prints.

Maybe a week at most in the "detention center" and then they're bussed back to the border or flown to their Country and -- well, allowed to parachute or jump without a parachute, depending on whether their family comes up with the money for the parachute -- back "home."


Operation Parachute Drop.

Praise God and welcome back!

It's certainly worth considering if we're unable to directly and immediately send them home. Ellis Island also served as a quarantine area, and the tuberculosis and leprosy that some are bringing with them certainly needs to be contained.

Offer them a choice - be returned immediately and barred (along with any descendants) permanently, or come to a work camp in America. Products they make are sold to pay their support, and after 10 years they are eligible for citizenship...

The better choice would be
1) Return immeidatly with a chance to come back legally
2) Go to deteniton till your hearing, and if deported, it will come with a suspended sentence of 20 years hard labor if we catch you again, and your pre-trial detention guarenteed to be at least 9 month.

Remember, the idea is to get them out of the country, not make more mouths to feed at tax payer expense.

[bigsigh]

how about a reality show, Mexican Idol. They're put on a plane to Mexico City. During the flight they all tell their stories and plead for why they should not be deported. The ones with the best stories get to return and try again with the next flight. At the end of the season, the best story gets to stay here.

Bumping your thread for more discussion! Freepers have such good ideas when we get together!

[Yellow Rose of Texas]

Bumping for more discussion, and am praying for the hurricane to not destroy everything and everyone in it's path.

Welcome back, Dear!

I was just thinking about you and your kiddos.
