I have solved the immigration problem
Yes, friends, it is true. The solution just occurred to me. It's so...simple.
We take all the money we waste enforcing laws that shouldn't exist (the aforementioned prostitution, anti-drug laws, and so on) and use it to fund our increased security on the borders. I know this sounds like the classic liberal throw-money-at-the-problem mentality, but it's money we're wasting anyway, right?
Anyway, that thought occurred to me while watching CNN tonight. There would obviously be nuances, but I'll just throw it out there. Somehow the briefest, most straightforward posts seem to catalyze the liveliest discussions.
Song lyric of the day:
"I've been waiting all this time
To be something I can't define
So let's cause a scene
Clap our hands and stomp our feet or something
I just gotta get myself over me"

I been on your blog twice. Good piece. I am sure you would love my blog. Very thought provoking. www.juddandjasonspeakout.com
you're a racist man. All about the mexicans aren't ya. First you're gonna keep them out, whats next? Are you gonna send all the blacks back to Africa, all the Asians back to Asia. All the native americans back to native american land? Where does it end?
Actually I like your idea
You know my solution to the problem. I do wonder how much money we'd save if we didn't have to incarcerate/try/arrest everyone who smoked pot... hell, we might even be able to save Social Security while we're at it.
Actually, we'll save Medicaid. Fuck the old people.
wait a sec. WHY were you watching CNN?
It made me feel socially responsible while working out. Why?
dude... CNN's coverage of the immigration issue is so ridiculously biased, it reaches the point of hilarity. They phrase the debate like this: "Should illegal immigrants be allowed to continue invading our country and taking our jobs? More after this." And that's from the supposedly objective ones. Lou Dobbs is even more hilarious.
If it helps, I couldn't hear it because the horribly crappy pop station was blasting behind me.
And CNN's stupid if they think that. Illegal immigrants take the jobs nobody else wants. It still seems to beat the hell out of Mexico.
My own job is not the slightest bit threatened by illegal immigrants. So if anything else, I could see the argument that illegal immigration forces American citizens to work harder to become better educated so they can attain the jobs that illegals can't. Just a thought that suddenly occurred to me.
illegal immigrants could spread dieases that our country isn't prepared for(long shot but) also who gives a damn if they do the jobs noone else will. If they didn't do it then the company would have to pay more thus getting the people to do it. Bam, there is now someone who couldn't make a living because of poor education now able to make a workable salary. Besides, is it fair to the immegrants that came over legally and put in the effort.
Well, it's also not fair to the illegal immigrants who are being exploited so that businesses can maintain their bottom line. You want workers' comp? Other labor laws? Well, I'll just call up my friends at the INS...
So if you made all immigration legal, you level the playing field so that immigrants and native-born can compete equally. And economic studies mostly show that while illegal immigration depresses wages, legal immigration raises them, though I generally don't trust economic studies as far as I can throw them (which isn't very far since I'm a weak bastard).
I have no problem with immigration, as long as everyone who enters this country realizes and acknowledges that English is vastly superior to all other forms of linguistic communication.
fo shizle my nizle preach it
I think Mike included Snoopese in that statement, OWM. And we're a capitalist country - the market will determine linguistic supremacy. Either that or a cage match involving dictionaries.
Eh, it won't matter. If Startrek has shown us anything its that in the future all species in this galaxy will be able to speak the english language, with a perfect american accent as well. So we win. Down with things I don't know.
Now now, Picard's accent was decidedly British. And Kirk, well, if all people from Iowa talk like that, ouch.
Given that the one person I know from Iowa (Joy) could be two paragraphs into a speech by the time William Shatner opened his mouth, I don't know.
I wonder if the Federation had a Klingon illegal immigration problem...
your damn right they did. First it was blacks, then the mexicans, then the goldfish, then the Klingons. Poor, poor goldfish.
