Thanks for the ping.

I well imagine that a guest worker program will allow for better tracking than what we have now.

[Marine Inspector]

Nope. I we can't track then now, we won't be able to track then in next 4 years.

Short of implanting a GPS type chip, we'll never be able to track then.

[Cultural Jihad]

No, not to the millimeter, and my meaning of the word "tracking" did not involve GPS implants (not to say it generally wouldn't be a great idea if it were technically feasible). But having a name, a photo, a fingerprint, a destination, and any other data is a lot more than what we would have otherwise.

"If the State Police stopped one driving down the highway with a load of dope in the back end who had hijacked the car back in Orange, TX and beat somebody up and taken the automobile and he gets arrested and put in the Calcasieu Parish Jail, if he could find a bondsman or someone to post his bond then he walked it didn't matter if it was a violent crime or not. If he hadn't been convicted yet, he walked.

At least the Humane Society spays + neuters strays before adopting them out . . .

We do that now, and can't keep track on them. Once they are in, they are free to disappear off the radar.

I seriously proposed this a few years ago only to be heckled down as being barbarous and inhumane. I want to correct that by proposing the chips be deeply implanted into the femur (where infection would be a serious risk if removed in squalid conditions) and that a non-obvious permanent marking (in the scalp?) be imprinted upon every invader where law enforcement personnel would know where to look.

See folks; I've become much more civilized compared to when I wanted their faces branded like pre-Colonial horse thiefs ("H" on one cheek and "T" on the other). Kinder and gentler...
