Oh yeah, and of course China has no intentions of putting weapons in space.

Among other things, the Pentagon expects to spend at least $50 billion over the next five years to develop and field a multi-layered shield against incoming missiles that could deliver nuclear, biological or chemical weapons. I wonder if they could develop a shield against incoming illegal mexicans?

I for one am disappointed by the fact that we don't have space fighters already.

Toss a projectile far enough out and you won't need any explosive, even an atomic explosive, to enhance the result.

The perfect missile defense system, eh? An orbiting Battlestar with Vipers that can intercept and shoot down any missiles?

Mexicans aren't the "only" illegal group that manages to get here. Mexicans for the most part are here to support their families. They don't come here to blow us up. And they have a high percentage of volunteering for the military compared to other illegal groups.

And they have a high percentage of volunteering for the military compared to other illegal groups.They are a much worse threat than ANYTHING else out there.
They don't support their families - we support their families.
Illegal mexicans volunteering for the military? Right after 9/11 millions of them came forward and signed up. Wrong. Right after 9/11, millions of them hightailed it (temporatily) south of the border. A ton of patriotism there.

Worse than Al Queda bombers? I'm against illegal immigration. Totally. But the reaction to Mexican illegal immigrants is at the level of fanaticism for some.

It will always be odd that
the space shuttle crashed
into Texas when
Bush is president. Space might
be in the fight now...
