Way Down South of El Paso...

I hate to harp on this point so much, but it's thrown in my face every night when our Mexican janitorial crew shows up for work, and I see the faces of those who were demoted out of similar positions to make way for these people.

I have been giving a lot of thought to how Immigration should handle the problem of illegal immigrants. So I have outlined a few contermeasures that I think would be effective, at least against the Mexican Invasion.

1. Treat all illegal immigrants as criminals. Prove their illegal status, and deport them.
2. Change the law regarding citizenship as birthright. Too many illegal aliens come here to have children, hoping that fact will keep them from being deported. Change the law to read that all children born to non-citizens in this country have conditional citizenship--that is, upon their eighteenth birthday, if they choose to become full citizens, they will have to show a knowledge of the laws, history, and language of the United States. They will have to pledge allegiance, in writing, to the United States. If their parents are illegal aliens, and are deported, then they, too, will be sent to their parents' country of origin. This will not, however, change their conditional citizenship status. They will have until the age of nineteen to claim their citizenship, or have its status revoked.
3. Impose stiffer penalties on employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. Mandatory prison time would suffice, in addition to higher fines and/or seizure of their assets.
4. Impose stiff penalties on American citizens who knowingly harbor illegal aliens. Mandatory prison time and high fines would suffice.
5. Mandatory deportation for all illegal aliens, regardless of their marital, familial, or employment status.
6. Economic sanctions against any government knowingly aiding or abetting the illegal immigration of their citizens.
7. Do not assign 'employment numbers' to non-citizens, unless they have a work visa.
8. Do not allow the children of illegal immigrants entrance into our schools. Public schools are for tax paying citizens.
9. Do not allow illegal immigrants access to medical facilities, social welfare programs, or any other publicly funded programs.

That would take care of a lot of the problems.

Now, for a solution to the border problem. Since the majority of illegal aliens in this country come from south of the border, the following steps should be taken.

1. Round up as many able-bodied illegals as possible, and put them to work, paid in pesos, digging a twenty foot wide, twenty foot deep trench along the entire border between here and Mexico. When the trench is completed, give them the opportunity to cross it into their native country before it is filled.
2. Pump as much water from the New Orleans area into the trench as possible. Use the earth removed from the trench to then raise the New Orleans area above sea level (again, use as much illegal alien labor as possible.)
3. Build two bridges, centrally located, across the trench: one for vehicular (truck) traffic, and one for train traffic. Place guard posts at both ends of the bridge, and thoroughly search everything that moves in either direction.
4. Build an Immigration office at the southern end of the vehicle bridge. Allow any who want to apply for legal immigration and citizenship to apply, and have their applications speedily processed.
5. Seed the water filled trench with piranha and other freshwater denizens who like to eat fresh meat. Place signs every fifty feet on the southern side of the trench warning illegal immigrants, in English, of the hazard of entering the water. Couple this with coils of concertine barbed wire on the entire northern face of the trench. At the top of the northern side, place guard emplacements every 100 yards with fully armed and ready to shoot border guards. Standing orders will be "shoot to kill".
6. Man the southern border trench with National Guardsmen, on a six-month rotation. This will keep enough active guards along the border to effectively patrol it, while also maintaining minimal disruption in the employment and familial status of the Guardsmen.

This may sound harsh, but we need to deal with a 12 million strong population of criminals in an immediate fashion, showing strength and conviction.

And so it goes...

I concur with everything you have said. When they can arrest a U. S. Citizen because he has too much cash in his possession and confiscate it, then why let the REAL CRIMINALS ( a number of whom sit the hallowd halls of the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches of our government albeit not necessarily Mexican) be punished in the HARSHEST manner possible. If a few of them had the piranha experience others would not be so willing to cross over. Unforunately, the mind set in Washington as in local goverments largely seems to be aiding and abetting know criminals for teh sake of economic and political gain. The most anti American movement in this country is seated in our nations capital, and state houses around the nation. I further think that companies that "outsource" their jobs should be brought to justice as criminals with intent to undermind the economy of this nation. This in effect is tantamount to a form of treason. If we add millions more of uneducated, illiterate, unskilled, and people of questionable honesty, into this country we will indeed be listed beneath the lowest of the third world nations. In fact, we may even qualify to be considered FOURTH WORLD.

Personally, I've always favored the Marines' unofficial motto: "Kill 'em all--let God sort 'em out."

But your proposal is a lot more humane, workable, and socially acceptable--except to the illegals removed from this country, anyhow.

In certain areas of our nation, most notably Texas and California, there are school districts predominantly populated by illegals of Mexican origin. While I don't begrudge anyone the ability to come to this country, I do want them to come here to be American citizens, not foreign nationals taking us for what we all-too-willingly give.

Good job. Outstanding analysis of the problem, coupled with a workable, albeit politically incorrect solution.
