America filling up fast

[STEED]

WOW :huh:

You guys hit the 300 million mark today :o

We're full now, close the gates.

More is usually better, but not in this case...

They will just jump the gate....

I wish i could think of something positive to say. But living in an already crowded part of the country, i only have very negative things to say. Blech.

Maybe in 10 years time will be so packed to the gills, they'll have to adopty china like policies. IE, 1 kid per family, more requires govermental permission. :roll:

More people = more taxpayers. Maybe if enough people pay taxes, we can start to pay less.

[Spoon 11th]

another 40 years and it will be 400 million.

[Yahoshua]

Landmines = $3 per AP mine

$1,000,000,000 (approximate amount of $ to be spent on border LE this year) / 3 = Approximately 3,333,333,333 landmines.

Sounds alot easier to me to just go that route and be done with it. Then We'll add punji pits to the equation.

Maybe, just maybe, people will actually immigrate legally after we start doing that.

More people, more cars, more traffic jams, more *******s to put up with, less housing, higher housing rates, longer lines at the stores, resturants, etc. more more more of everything. BLAH. If i wasnt living in a crowded, overpriced place, where people CONTINUE to move to, every year, making it worse and worse as time goes on, i probably wouldnt have such an assinine view of it.

Unfortunately, more and more people ARE moving to America. hmm. Well yes, this is the land of opportunity and the land of immigrants. It's kind of funny in a way. We've got a lot of people bashing our country, yet they continue to move here in groves. :hmm: :ping: :ping: :ping: :ping: :ping: Get my point? :ping:

[fredbass]

I just realized something. What the heck am I doing? Why am I telling everybody how great a country I live in? Maybe if I stop, they'll stop coming and we won't become overpopulated. I'm sorry. :oops: :know:

[Hylander_1314]

It used to be, send us your sick, your tired masses, and now it reads No Vacancy.

It's all your fault fred. Next time I have to stand in line, or wait in traffic, I'm going to think "friggin fred, it's all his fault".

Ha! I've beaten you to this! :D

What overcrowding? We got all of Alaska to play with. Global warming will take care of the ice and snow and pesky polar bears eventually. ;)

[ASWnut101]

I don't think it will get THAT warm there....

[Torplexed]

That post was mostly tongue in cheek. If it gets that warm the rest of the US will be a parched wasteland. At which point it'll all become Vegas.

[ASWnut101]

hmm, then I wouldn't mind moving to Israel then.....:sunny: =:cool:

you left out the remote controlled M60s and the Hellfire armed drones...and I'm not being facetious!

[Yahoshua]

Nah...too expensive (although MS-13 is really getting High tech now....).

Not that any of it'll happen, but I can dream right?

[ASWnut101]

my dreams include more 'effective' ways to secure our borders, from trip-wire equipped "dasie cutters" to interlocking fire GAU-8's!

[Yahoshua]

Okay, the Daisy cutters are a bit much.....

[ASWnut101]

fine then. use MOAB's.

Wrong! Not enough work to go around here. It will just mean that a bunch more people will be on welfare and the ones who work will be paying for it all.


Some people in the US seem to think money grows on trees. :roll:

We do have a lot of fertilizer here, and not just the politians.

So does America now hang up the "No Vacancy" sign on the statue of Liberty?? I guess they will all head to Canada!

The New Colossus, by Emma Lazarus (http://www.endex.com/gf/buildings/liberty/libertyfacts/EmmaLazarus/emma.htm), 1883

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
with conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame,
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
with silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

I find myself in agreement with you for once.

I think those guys ought to watch the vid from the link Avon Lady posted back on page 1 of this thread.

Or dig a tunnel. Can't fix it until they declare open season on illegal immigrants.

I can only imagine the indigenous people in North America having the same conversation 4 or 5 centuries ago. :lol:

From what i've read they did, except they included in the discussion not only the Europeans and Mexicans and Asians, but the tribe in the next valley as well.

Of course what we call "indigenous peoples" are in reality the latest of several successive waves of imigrants to these shores...

[SkvyWvr]

Not at all, they will cave in all the tunnels.

Interesting, you really passed the 300 million mark?

only 700 million to go, THEN it get's fun!:yep:

Actually its like this. More people - more crap, More Disease and less food and other resources that are necessary to survive.

And here is a another fact. The population doubles every 22 years but that was 30 years ago. As the world population expands it does so GEOMETRICALLY not ARITHMETHCIALLY.

For those that don't understand that concept don't worry. All it means is that we will double in population faster and faster over time.

True that, August. Still I read in the paper (International Herald Tribune FWIW) that a lot of crops like tomatoes are rotting since tougher immigration measures were implemented. One guy complained he could only find 400 workers rather than the 900 he usual had, illegals of course. :roll: Now where are the unemployed Americans to do that work, there are many aren't there?

[ASWnut101]

not really, Unemployment rates are actually at their lowest in some time.

Go go Wallmart and McJobs. If your not one of the two, then your one of those jerk CEO's exporting our jobs so you can keep your fat paycheck. (The in between of CEO and McJobs is what were short on)

Funny, but true. TOO true. (BTW, i dont shop on credit, or at wallmart either, so nay nay! )

I know some people who run into a little bad luck, but there are still plenty of good paying jobs. Just go to school, excel, study, graduate, learn a skill which pays well and has plenty of job openings and you're in. Skipping school and not learning a trade will get you nowhere.

From where I sit everyday, there seems to be a shortage of skilled workers.

Their jobs were outsourced to India. One of the fastest growing areas in IT, also the cheapest in labor costs.
