While we're at it, let's nuke'em into civilized behavior.

Well, okay, but only when there's a northerly wind . . .

No, no, no. If ever there was an argument for using neutron bombs...

What's standing between Laredo and Mexico City that we should worry about?

[mourningstar]

Maybe they should let the immigrants (who only live 1-5 years in the US) pay more Taxes. the national income should go up by that? Or they should place them in your deserted states. like you did with the natives

Just let them come over and work with temporarily, that way law enforcement can better keep out undesirables, collect taxes and prevent abusive situations from occuring. They are going to come anyway, regardless of the police state tactics the nativists would have us employ

[Lilith]

Now the enforcement of laws (you know- laws that we elect representives to create) by very modest measures is now called 'police state tactics '.

BWV1080 ... are you a representative of the Mexican government? Just wondering.....................

[BWV 1080]

Despite what many would construe as police state tactics, we have been unable to keep cocaine and heroin out of the country despite the threat of long prison sentences. With no real deterrence other than sending them back to Mexico, and a huge demand by poor Mexicans to make a better life for themselves this problem cannot be solved by enforcing the existing laws any more than the drug war can

[Lilith]

What we need most is will and determination to return immigration to legal processes. If we have that, we can stop 98% of illegal immigration. It is defeatists like you, who throw up your arms and accept
the chaos and the law breaking, who impede the solution.

Steve is merely resigned to the inevitable.

The sign of the future will be what happens when and if the dumbasses in Congress vote for an fund static infiltration control, i.e., a fence of some kind. That will show whether they have the stones necessary to regularize immigration. The problem with Democrats is they want those illegal Latino voters; the problem with Republicans is they can't stand to be called "mean" and "racist."

My hunch is it will go something like this: they have already voted for a half of a fence for some inexplicable reason; they will underfund it if they fund it at all; then they will wait a few years to see if the birth rate in Mexico declines, as some have said it will do, thus relieving the pressure on the border; if the latter happens, they will forget the whole thing; if illegal immigration continues as a steady clip, it will be 5-10 years down the road and we will be faced with another monstrous amnesty problem; the specific Hill Rats who voted effectively to do nothing will have left office, with the exception of John Dingle and John Conyers, who will be embalmed in place to carry on their fine 1960s ultraliberal Democratic tradtions.
