Something Different

Let me begin this article by stating a few important facts about illegal immigration and my beliefs on Illegal immigration, or as it is more straightforwardly referred to, the invasion. These are the facts. Illegal immigrants in these united states: are not screened at the border for horrible diseases like mumps, hepatitis, plague (yes plague), leprosy, tuberculosis et al , and routinely bring them across, deplete the wages of all American citizens, not only those impacted the most in the lowest strata of the job market, commit crimes far outweighing their demographic and eat up taxpayer money in enjoying three squares a day in taxpayer funded jails, sign up and receive federal, state, and city aid on the American taxpayers dime, go to the emergency room whenever they see fit resulting in the close of hospitals and more consumption of the taxpayers dime, do not have drivers licenses or insurance but use our roads daily, drive drunk disproportionately, constitute a large portion of the gangs in the country, are drug runners sometimes, don’t pay taxes, do not leave, rally and sometimes riot in our streets, destroy the precious environment, do not speak English, and impact everyone who is an American citizen. There are undoubtedly more that I have not listed nor know. These are the facts about my beliefs on Illegal immigration. The federal government is not going to do anything meaningful in regard to the Illegal alien problem and actively support amnesty and an end to the border through such enlightened sovereignty destroying initiatives such as the North American SPP and the economically destructive free trade act NAFTA expanded to CAFTA and eventually the FTAA if we Americans do not stop it. Mexicans are not going to stop coming unless we stop them and deport them one at a time if necessary, and with a little hard work we most definitely can in spite of the dubious protestations of McCain and merry bipartisan band. Prosecuting any individual who hires any Illegal aliens will bring this invasion to an end. A contingent of US troops on the border will end the invasion. It must stop, and if pressure on our representatives is fruitless we must emulate the Minutemen and defend the borders ourselves. We can end the invasion and the plan which follows may just be palatable enough to both political parties to swallow though I do not endorse it.

Despite the fact that he has been unwilling to bow to the demands of the American people, the office of the president of these united states carries with it the power to deploy troops to the border at a whim. I can’t begin to say with certainty why this situation is allowed, I can only imagine the president has reasons, reasons no one understands, but reasons nonetheless, and since he is unwilling to actively deploy troops to the border I thought he might do it in a roundabout way so as not to anger his best pal Vicente Fox or force members of the republican party to decided whether they wanted to be in bed with big business or their constituents. Politics! What are you going to do? I sympathize with your divided loyalties Mr. president.

We have been fighting wars in the desert since 2001 and our troops, if and when they fight, always fight in the desert or some rough clime akin. As it stands they need tough training to fight in the desert effectively and we conveniently have a desert in which to train right along, where is it, the Mexican border. So I suggest, so very meekly, that when our soldiers get out of boot camp they go to the Midwest for a two of three week training regimen in the desert edging the border. While they are learning skills that will be indispensable at a later date in another sandy part of the globe, they could stop any illegal aliens they see coming across the border and wait for the border patrol to pick up the illegal aliens to return them to Mexico. It would even be a good lesson in subduing civilians for questioning. This plan is just another common sense solution to a crisis, something you’ll never see come out of Washington DC. It can even be explained in a single paragraph.

I justify this plan on the assumption that it will provide enough cover to our representatives for them to show modest enough results to pacify the ravenous American citizenry while continuing to move along with their actual plan of the destruction of the border. The benefit to the American citizen is that it may prolong, contrary to our current situation, our downfall a few months to a year later if nothing was done at all or we adopted a guest worker/amnesty program. What's more, it would be cost effective; an eighteen year old soldier doesn’t get paid nearly as much as a middle aged border patrol agent. And it would, of course, provide indispensable training to our globe trotting military and the president who won’t get tired of sending them to sand covered countries in the name of global democracy. It’s a win-win.
