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.

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

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.

hmm, then I wouldn't mind moving to Israel then.....

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.

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

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 · 10-17-06, 08:04 PM

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

Yahoshua · 10-17-06, 08:07 PM

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

ASWnut101 · 10-17-06, 08:11 PM

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.

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, 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!"
