Solution to the Alien problem

Everybody who does not want to be suspected of being an alien should forthwith have marked upon their foreheads the number 666.

Those people then would be allowed to go anywhere without suspicion since they have proven they are who they say they are.

The rest of us would be subject to questioning at any time. Small price to pay, eh?

I found the following on the NPR website.

April 6, 2006

As Congress looks to revamp immigration policy, some lawmakers are pushing to extend fencing along the U.S. border with Mexico. Proposals range from beefing up existing fences in Arizona to constructing new fences that would span 700 miles. Those advocating expanded fencing already have a model they can look to: a fence the federal government built more than a decade ago along a 14-mile-stretch in San Diego, Calif., that borders Tijuana, Mexico.

Before the fence was built, all that separated that stretch of Mexico from California was a single strand of cable that demarcated the international border. Back then, Border Patrol agent Jim Henry says he was overwhelmed by the stream of immigrants who crossed into the United States illegally just in that sector. "It was an area that was out of control," Henry says. "There were over 100,000 aliens crossing through this area a year."

Today, Henry is assistant chief of the Border Patrol's San Diego sector. He says apprehensions here are down 95 percent, from 100,000 a year to 5,000 a year, largely because the single strand of cable marking the border was replaced by double — and in some places, triple — fencing.

The first fence, 10 feet high, is made of welded metal panels. The second fence, 15 feet high, consists of steel mesh, and the top is angled inward to make it harder to climb over. Finally, in high-traffic areas, there's also a smaller chain-link fence. In between the two main fences is 150 feet of "no man's land," an area that the Border Patrol sweeps with flood lights and trucks, and soon, surveillance cameras. "Here in San Diego, we have proven that the border infrastructure system does indeed work," Henry says. "It is highly effective."

Rancher Carol Kimsey, who lives in a valley near the Pacific Ocean on the U.S.-side of the fence, says the border barrier has improved the quality of life in the area. "It was pretty seriously bad," she recalls of the prefence days. "They were tearing up everything. They'd just go through fences. They didn't care."

"Tear down this wall" said the Great Republican Ronald Reagan

the people from leaving?

but I did know that.

It would not people leaving Mexico to other countries.

I can't walk across the desert into Mexico. A wall is blocking my path.

Hitler, that's who..

countries and not just to Mexico. To limit it to Mexico and Hispanics is highly racist. Let's permit the world come in at will and when we have a billion people here and America is an economic powerhouse for the elite and environmental disaster for the masses we can compete head to head with the Chinese on a level playing field and at the same wages. We'll have our jobs back and live in our 200sq foot cubicles just as they do in China, and have no open space. Is that what some want?

Those kind of Aliens speak English.

Reticulans don't like being touched very much.

You know, those good old days when people were branded on their foreheads with a 'T' if they were a thief. I suppose we could find some infraction against the law to include every letter in the alphabet. If you were a woman and saw a man with an 'R' branded on his forehead you would know he is a rapist and could run like hell. Wall Street thugs should be branded with 'D' for derivatives crook, etc...

All voluntary of course.

when people obeyed the law. what about the word "illegal" don't you understand? our economy is in chaos, states and municipalities are going bankrupt....and you favor unfettered immigration? we're at the point where citizens will do any job and illegals who work for low wages make it bad for everyone.
local hospitals and schools are in crisis here in florida, it isn't funny. if people aren't employed the economy will continue to spiral downward.
we're broke.

They seem to want to go back to the good old days when women, blacks or minorities couldn't vote or own land. They like the good old days of segregation.

I believe we should go back to the days when businesses were forced to be honest, and the only way that can happen is with increased regulations. And if businesses obeyed the laws then illegal immigration would go down because they wouldn't find places to work. I have always been opposed to illegal immigration and have openly advocated using our military at our border. After 9/11, when Bush promised to defend the US from further attacks, he then sent our military around to world to die in a war based on lies. Bush should have used our military to protect our borders because THAT is what our military is for. But Bush left the borders wide open and he allowed an additional 12 million illegals invade our country. I wonder how many in that 12 million were terrorists from the Middle East who simply flew to Mexico and walked across our border.

Where did I say I am for 'unfettered immigration'? I am for protecting our border, even using our military to do just that. And I am for regulating the hell out of corporations and stopping them from shipping our jobs oversees to use slave labor.

There is too much inequity in this country. We are quickly becoming a country of the super rich and the poor, just as Mexico is. We the people built this country and we should be entitled to the fruits of our labors. We need to go back to a pre-Reagan tax rate so that the tax burdens on the middle class and the poor are reduced. Remember those days? Before Reagan you could go to a state or national park for free or a nominal fee. Other fees and taxes on a local level were a lot less. But when Reagan got his big tax cut for the super rich it led to shortfalls in states all across the country. I still remember my Dad complaining how the cost of his car license tag went from $15 to $60 in one year under Reagan. When Reagan's big tax break for the rich was passed the middle class and poor had to make up for the shortfall. We subsidized the rich. It was the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of the world at the time, and the money went from those at the bottom of the economic ladder to the top. And conservatives believe the rich should be allowed to amass even more money, while we are left with the bills for building our infrastructure, schools, paying teachers, etc...

Conservatism is a threat to the survival of our country.

the US is really in crisis and i don't know how we fix it. the inequalities are approaching third world status. the middle class is shrinking, there are more poor people and a tiny elite class.unless something is done to address the inequality, we won't survive. my husband and i are babyboomers and were fortunate to be able to retire early. i can't imagine what young families are going through.

keep being human.

THAT would keep the aliens away. Alien problem solved.
