Welcome to FR.

The old canon fodder theory.

Sniff?

How many years would it take our population to catch up with China?

(I'm bad at math)

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

There's a better way to do this--annex Mexico.

A thread as your first post and no replies.

You're digging your own hole here.

[SteveMcKing]

We're trying to reduce our national cancer.

Draft all the young latino men. You've got a war with China.

Why would China start a war if we drafted all the young latino men?

Western politicians don't think 15-50 years in the future. I am not so sure Asian ones do either, btw.

Both parties want the Hispanic vote. That is why they will not enforce the law, and why Bush called the Minutemen vigilantes. There is nothing complicated or subtle about it.

Illegal immigration is at an all time high.

Incorrect. We are far from the FY 2000 high.

[MinorityRepublican]

Incorrect. We are far from the FY 2000 high.

Statistics comparing FY 2000 and FY 2005 please?

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

An expansion of the country is long overdue--no new state since 1960.

[Marine Inspector]

As of March 2005, the first half of FY 2005, the BP has apprehended 396,190 illegal aliens.

The FY 2000 total was 1.6 million.

We on track to apprehend lees then 50% of the FY 2000 total.

[Marine Inspector]

Should read; "We are on track to apprehend less then 50% of the FY 2000 total."

I'm tired.

A ground war with China will never happen, simply because China isn't capable of deploying their forces overseas. I don't care how many uniformed soldiers China has, the only way we would have to worry about matching their numbers is if we were invading China. Since that will never happen, we should focus on our trade policies. All it would take to collapse the Chinese economy is to stop all their imports from arriving in our ports. The Chinese are far too invested in our economy to be planning for a future Military conflict. If we cut off their access to our markets, China would look like North Korea within a year

That ok, I tired, too.

Mr. Haas, you're new here, so you may not understand how this madhouse works.

If you don't start responding to the various posts, folks will think you're a troll. Please believe me when I say trolls have no credibility out here at all. If you are thought a troll, any effort you make to analyze the situation, share your thoughts, and have them seriously considered will be a waste of time.

Just trying to help.

China has almost triple our population

China has about 4 times our population.

Maybe you were better at theatre arts.
