Glad to see ninth graders getting involved in governmental issues. I am sure you were happy to find an article that validated your position.
Thanks, I will file that one away with "suicide bombers and nuclear terrorist attacks in the USA are inevitable".
During WW2, gas was rationed and factories worked round the clock in three shifts to make more than enough aircraft carriers, tanks, battleships to win a two front war against fanatical enemies. Now folks are complaining that deporting illegals is "too expensive" and "impractical". Oh plu-eeze quit whining.
War is an inherently impractical activity, but a lot more practical than surrendering freedom and values that you inherited from better generations who fought and sacrificed to keep it alive.
Time to get real about this war.
Lets see, the government fails, or wont stop the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens entering our country on a routine basis, and now it's not PRACTICAL to deport all these thousands and millions of illegal aliens. It's just not practical!
So I guess we all just sit on the porch and watch our country just get completely, 100% over-run and taken over by millions of illegal aliens.
You're right. That's why a much simpler proposal was passed by the voters of California.
This simple proposal denied the public infrastucture (the free ride at the taxpayers expense) to illegals. Without these services it was predicted that illegal entry would be attractive only to working age males who would return home when the harvest season was over. The additional benefit was that even if they stayed they would not gut the public infrastruture.
The legislation was neutered by the 9th Circuit so today California has a giant mess and it's getting worse geometrically.
We could close the borders, we have done it before. A lot of people do not realize we did once have a, more or less, closed border.
You eat an elephant one bite at a time and we need to start seriously working on that elephant.
Actually, starting the process and making it very public would act as a big deterrent.
Fining the greedy employers, from those to hire them to cut the grass to the ones who hire them on constructions, agribusiness, or in the banks. It can be done.
This country did not get where it is today by saying it can't be done. We just did it! And this is very doable.
According to articles I have read, this is the largest migration of people in recent history.
No it is feasible, we just must have leadership and people with the courage (like a 9th grader) to support it.
We have more than enough man power and money to kick illegal aliens out and make sure they NEVER return!
Very true. It's all being spent to pay the federalized army of illiterate rent-a-cops strip searching toddlers and little old white ladies at airports.
Maybe, just maybe, if they stopped spending time, money and resources going after legal citizens for the possession and/or use of marijuana, they would be able to accomplish this goal.
It ISN'T practical to round up and deport all the illegal aliens. We don't have enough manpower or money to do it. I am not in shock...that seems to me to be an obvious statement of fact.
The unimaginative and the worshippers of the status quo are forever being surprised when someone else redefines for them what is and is not "practical". We have, in fact, more than enough manpower and money to do it. We could do it immediately, if we had the political will. Will is the only thing lacking.
I guarantee you that if we declared war on Mexico, all illegal migrants would be rounded up within a matter of months, if not weeks. Don't tell us what is and is not "practical": what you really mean to say is that is is not politically acceptable. Like most of the status quo worshippers and Bush-bots, you are content to let the Left define what is politically acceptable, and to play the political game by the Left's rules.
Ninth-grader slams Bush on amnesties!! Not a thing to be proud of, I suppose.
Good issue, Registered.
Eisenhower had the guts to round up Mexican illegals - Bush is a wimp.
Any other laws you know of that are impractical to enforce?
With un-employment high right now we can put some folks to work looking for and assisting in deportation. This will stimulate the economy, generate some tax income and rid U.S. of billions of dollars in extra baggage.
Once they are gone you throw a few hundred million at better protecting the borders and improving the process for legal entrance and citizenship. And we still take money to the bank.
