Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use. The best way to stop
using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would be
11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down If
you think this is a good solution to both the problems, forward it to your
friends. I just did.

Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch
an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and
some ammo and ship him to Iraq. Tell him if he wants to come to America
then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a soldier's pay while
he's there and tax him on it.

After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he
defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a
legal patriot. This option will probably deter illegal immigration and
provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a
better life for themselves.

If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the
canteen, rifle or ammo. Problem solved.

 

hehehe, in that case... i will not go to US first.

 

Yeah ut u have useful skills this is for people that come here and try to do it illegally which you would not be doing.

 

We just need to have war games on the borders and mandatory 10 year prison sentences for law breaking employers and farmers to stop illegal immigration. Employment laws need to be changed to encourage hiring of youth to replace immigrants at fast food and other service businesses. Prisoners could pick our vegetables. In our political environment, these things will never happen. Someone might be offended.[sm=nothatway.gif]

To save fuel I'm for discontinuing all school buses for kids old enough to get to school on their own. Might also solve the obesity issue.

We also need to remove all bicycle paths on our roads so streets can be widened by one lane. This would move traffic along and reduce a lot of wasted fuel and reduce pollution.

 

Simple economics. With 11 million people gone, there wouldn't be demand as much, but the price wouldn't fall sharply because of the supply curve's elasticity and the control OPEC has.

The only problem with that is you would be paying all those troops and it would get costly. Plus more and more are digging under, going over, around, and just being more sneaky.

 

When i was younger there was no way in hell i was ever going to work in a fast food or a gas station. I would have just not worked and i knew many people that felt the same way.

Might work where u live but i dont think that kids will be walking 5-15 miles to school. In my area if u lived less than a mile and not on a major road that a bus had to travel anyway u did have to walk or find another way to get there.


Doesnt this conflict with the idea of stopping school buses? I like to bicycle paths but think other forms of transportation (skateboards and such should be allowed also) so i kinda like the bike paths but my area doesnt have any. Well u can bike in the national battle fields and along the C&O canal which i enjoy doing. I say take away certain "safety nets of society" and use the money to widen the roads anyway.

Back to Iraq - They owe us big how bout some oil damn it! The world hates us anyway lets just take there damn oil! I waas saying this b4 the war started "Iraq Americas Fuel Station" still sounds good to me!

 

Whew a little harsh, but it might work. But think, I think the illegal immigrants have the car pooling thing down packed way better than the Americans. I've seen them pack into one vehicle like it was the last one on earth, but a trip of 8 in one car is better than 8 cars.

And the getting them into the military sounds like a good idea at first but the problem is that any old body can't just go over there and get the job done. They probably would end up more of an inconvience and an endagerment to the regular soldier's life. And it does no good out there if you can't communicate with them to save people. And then of course the enemy would have more fuel for thier fire and probably call that a brutal way of genocide or something like that and then international relationship will fall lower than they are now. I wouldn't be sursprised if that idea crossed the mind of many politicians. Last thing I would need as a US soldier is to be dug in and the guy next to me don't understand a word I'm saying and get us both blowed up. And by the way, it's two canteens. We are issued two at least.

But actually, many legal immigrants go the military way to get the citizenship and it's not too hard. Enlist, serve, become a citizen. Pretty simple to me, but keep in mind some may not be able to pass the test to get in. But there are other ways that an immigrant can get in legally.
I think in a way we should focus on the buisness that bring them over here in the first place. There are many buisnesses in the US that offer "great pay" (below minimum by the US standards) to illegal immigrants to save money. That's who we should be focus on. Shut them down, no questions asked. And that would deter the employment of illegal. They would have no reason to cross over. Not to mention send the ones caught back across.
I have nothing against immigrants and I didn't blame them for trying to put food on the table and such and have a better life but, there are ways of doing it. There are millions of immigrants that get in legally and are okay. I'm sorry but rules are rules and no matter what , as long as there are rules there are people that break them.
I mean, buisnesses that hire immigrants should help out the millions of youth that need jobs and experience. Suck it up, and pay that minimum wage instead of trying to take advantage of someone. There is no reason that a buisness should be able to or should even think about hiring an illegal immigrant with as many Americans that need jobs and are out there starving because they can't find work. But they would rather fatten thier own pockets instead of throwing thier own people a bone? Geesh.


And since the obesity issue has been mentioned. As far as kids being obese, look at the parents. Who responsible for raising the kids? Did something change since I grew up or something? Last time I checked, the parent was ultimately responsible for the well being and health of the child. Back in my day, let me sit around and eat up all the snack food. Man, there was conciquences seriously. They wasn't having it. Why do kids sit around all day and play video games and stuff and eat what ever they want? Because thier parents allows them too. Can a seven year old get a job to buy that PS3? The tv? The snack food? The fast food? I believe the parent mostly buy it. I'm not saying that a kid should be depraved of those enjoyments but there have to be limits, structure and discipline. Too bad too many parents I noticed get those three words confued with being a dictator and taking the joy out of growing up and or they let the kids run all over them and too embarressed to admit it and blame anything but themselves. I remember that if my parents noticed that we was sitting around doing nothing all day, especially summer vacations, she told us to go outside. There was no sitting around watching tv all day and night playing video games. Hell, she even would say and would invite people over to play outside or take us somewhere to be active every now and then. There was no protesting, we did what we told , she had power and respect and she demanded it and if we showed lack of, something will happen and it's more than being depraved of one cookie for the day or two minute time out. Even the food she cooked, the meals was wholesome and good and had variety. McDonalds? Once maybe every three months if even that.
I think parents are having kids sometimes when they can't really give them the parenting they require. They have them now because the neighbor have them and they want to fit in or or don't want to look like an empty nester, or weird, or they just let the nanny raise them. I say if your kids are obese, unless they have some uncontrollable health issue that cause them to gain weight, which do happen and is omitted from what I said, then the reason and fault of the child being obese falls on the parents. Just as if that child breaks the neighbor's window, who pays for it, the parent. The kid gets in trouble with the law who pays the fees, the parent. But a child will do what he sees and if the parent is not practicing good habits of health, what is there for the child to go by? Obesity is becoming too much of a common place and people are pointing fingers everywhere but the right place. You have to take responibilty for your own actions. Unless someone holds a gun to your head and threaten to kill you if you don't get the Super size McDonalds meal three times a day, then the choice is yours. Advertising or not, better grow some ***** and stand up to your kids.

 

Damn strait I was an only child and spoiled to say the least. But i still didnt sit around and do nothing. I remember we a woodstove to heat the house and that 3/4ton Dodge truck would get loaded with wood by my dad and i and when we got home i unloaded most of it. just an example. When we put in the basement bathroon and sauna. I was only 11 but i helped worked on cars. However i got things that most children didnt i had a 4-wheeler at age 10, 600 dollar bicycles, gold watches at age 15, Mercedes as first car so i had it decent. And like you most know i am only 21 so some parents are still doing it right. I never played video games but that was my choice i know if i wanted them i could have had them. I enjoyed/ still enjoy being outside. I thnk alot of parents see the PS3 or other things as a way to keep the children out of there hair. Well if u want them out of ur hair then y did u have them?

 

Exactly.

 

I am being partially facetious. I DO think Iraq should be out of OPEC and sell us oil on the cheap... To PAY for our contribution to THEIR society, such as it is.
