Too late, Howie Mandel made it across .. well so did William Shatner ... but in retaliation we sent them the McKenzie Brothers ......
Suggest a read of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. You'll be near the end before you see it (warning: it's a long read), but you'll recognize it in a flash.
Read it years ago. Know the big themes, but have forgotten much of the detail.
Same for me -- but the read is REALLY different this time. I highly recommend a re-read of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged with today's situation in mind.
My guess is: the movie being made "from" this book will not be at all true to the book (if the "Office of Morale Conditioning" or modern equivalent allows the movie even to be released). Too many citizens subjects would be angered by the parallels. Buy a copy of the book now, read and contrast with the movie later (if released).
Shiner Bock beats Mosehead all day, everyday.
Oops.....”Moosehead”.
My Gf is Canadian with a permanent resident card. Pays her taxes to Uncle Sam. I’m also in the same boat. So the logic of this leftist B8tch Napolitano is that we’re killing, stealing, and talking in a non-English language different from Americans?
I already have my family and friends in BC who are now beyond pissed.
Same thing with me. I’m formerly from BC and have settled in this great country. The immigration stops between Canada and the US is as night and day.
When I went back last Christmas, it was straight forward “hi, are you declaring anything and what is your purpose in Canada?”
US side: “So you’ve been in Canada for how long? Are you sure? Where do you live? What is your status in the United States? How much do you have in your wallet? Where do you work? (for the next 20 minutes)
Exactly what I went through coming from New Brunswick into Maine last month.
Still have an old 30+ year old paperback. I might dig it out and give it a read sometime soon. After a while some of the details from Ayn Rand, Orwell, Huxley and others begin to run together.
TSA/INS agents get cockier at the Canadian border because they don’t have to face PO’d Hispanics coming back from Mexico. Those with the attitude problem were probably laughed at the southern border.
Now when was the last time a Predator drone was used at the southern border? (cough)
I dug out a “35th Anniversary” paperback — definitely NOT what I read the first time. Very worth a re-read.
What a bunch of idiots. This makes almost as much sense as stripsearching little old ladies in wheelchairs in Airports... gotta be fair to everyone now.
When are Government types gonna get, that you TARGET THE TARGETS, not everyone else!
Is the build-up more for keeping Canadians out of the U.S., or to prevent U.S. citizens from escaping? Just asking.
Very interesting! Who, pray tell, is making ancient records available to US Immigration?
Finish the fence, send all caught illegals back (because they have no American Rights as non-citizens) and send those who argue otherwise to me.
