Immigration

^Just when I was starting to think your computer skills were improving...

You OBJECTIVISTS are such dreamers...... :icon_wink:

[CARTEK]

I care but with Republicans acting like Democrats I don't see any hope. Bush has lost it...and so have many others. Build the fence...enforce the laws...then, talk to me about this new amnesty bill.

I appreciate your comment, Cartek......
And I'm glad we're on this same page regarding this issue.

BTW #1......
Are you aware that of the 800+ miles of wall authorized by our government last October (just before the election) EXACTLY 2 miles of wall have been built to date?

BTW #2......
Are you aware that under a current LEGAL provision called "chain migration"...... EVERY legal immigrant/citizen is allowed to sponsor 278 relatives for legal American citizenship.
How many relatives do you have beyond our shining seas? ME TOO!

As for THE WALL......
May I ask if you have read my posts #22, 23, and 24 on this thread?

I would prefer trying 22 and/or 23 before the 24 "wall"......
But if any WALL is eventually needed...... I'd prefer the 24 WALL (at @10 cents on the taxpayer dollar) over any poppycock washington wall.

If you have the time or the inclination......
I seriously suspect I would appreciate reading your thoughts on this matter.

How do you expect to build an 800+ mile wall without any illegal immigrant labor?

That was good.

Did the pilgrims apply to the Native Americans for a tourist visa or a work permit? From whom do you descend?

I'm with you on this. Immigration is my biggest disappointment in President Bush without a doubt!

You talkin' to me, Pilgrim......

If so...... BRING IT ON!

69% of Americans......
Now believe that all ILLEGAL ALIENS should be found and deported.

After a dozen days with no reply......
It appears this pilgrim was addressing some other poster.
Too bad!
I was so ready. :icon_wink:

The official/unofficial numbers......
Estimate there are 12 to 20 million ILLEGAL ALIENS currently roaming at will between our shining seas.

The actual answer is, NOBODY KNOWS.

BTW......
While Mexicans and Cental Americans dominate all estimates......
There are also large numbers of South Americans, Canadians, Western Europeans, Eastern Europeans, Asians, Africans and Arabs...... And other ILLEGAL ALIENS from damn near every nook and cranny of our increasingly tiny planet.

BTW #2......
Current official numbers place the number of LEGAL Hispanics in America at 44 million.
I'll suggest that this 44 MILLION number implies that Hispanics know how to LEGALLY enter America, and proves that America has in no deprived Hispanics of any path toward LEGAL entry.

BTW #3......
It is estimated that by 2,023...... LEGAL Hispanics will become the majority ethnic population in America.

Build a two-tiered fence system. On the second fence, written ONLY in English will be this:

Warning! motion-sensing machine guns are placed with interlocking fire beyond this fence. Do Not cross this fence.

in tiny letters will be this disclaimer: this warning is only in English because we assume if you are entering an English-speaking country you can read this sign.

Then, in towers behind the second fence, place those guns.

I recently watched a program on the military channel about motion-sensing machine guns.
Compared to their certainty...... Land mines are mere child's play.

Ergo...... Scratch my prior land mine thought.

But over any wall or walls or lethal guantlet......
I still prefer cash and/or citizenship bounties.

IMNHO......
The "problem" would evaporate like a drunk urinating in a mild wind.

they use USAR and USANG... they are there for more than to just "watch" things
