Bush to order troops to the border

Featured Replies

I think this plan is just plain bollocks...

 

 

it'll backfire.. you'll see. We didn't have enough National Gaurdsmen after Katrina... for 2 states worth.. but we have 6000 extra just floating around to patrol the borders... nice.

 

How are National Guardsmen supposed to help after a hurricane?

 

EDIT: I mean...like how is that any different than volunteer workers? And plus, it's a state thing...not a national thing.

Some kid at my school had a very funny solution: Take all the illegal immigrants in the U.S. and send them over to Iraq to fight. If you survive, then you gain citizenship.

ever heard of Marshall Law? Do you know what its like to be stuck in a disaster area for weeks on end with no power, not knowing when you'll get food, or better yet.... waiting in the hot sun on a long ass line, for a gallon of water that comes from a truck??? Accepting food and clothes from the Red Cross... ?? People get restless and greedy... you saw what happened in New Orleans... I lived thru that.. with Hurricane Andrew.. and believe me.. the National Guard responded much faster then than it did for Katrina.. why? Because they were available and not off in the Middle East-- they are there to protect and guide the citizens of their state and ensure that order is kept. Something volunteer workers can't handle.... the National Guard patrols and keeps the order..

this is the most fucked up comment I have heard yet....... my Father faught in Vietnam... he wasn't a citizen then... but he did his duty because he was drafted... He didn't become a citizen until he was 44.

 

 

 

not funny at all... given the number of soldiers who have died...

It is....nothing wrong with the goverment inforcing its laws and immagration laws....there is NOTHING uncivil about it at all.

 

 

whats uncivil is the fact that you just so nonchalantly say..... "we can pick who stays and who goes.." like they are beneath you or something.. I don't know if your comment was meant as a joke.. but it was distasteful if it was...

There is nothing uncivil about that. Was not a joke, but its our nation they broke the law and came here illegaly our goverment has a right and a duty to do something about it and if they chose send some back. nothing uncivil or unmoral about that. and i never said anything about them being beneath me, that has nothing to do with it. you always try to turn things around into thing they are not. you have a gift for that.

its how you came across...

 

 

I agree this problem needs to be regulated.. yes. But YOU had previously said.. "we let some stay and send some back".... so how do you justify that??? Based on what??? You can't have a mass deportation back to wherever they came from... thats crazy! Does anyone remember Castro and Mariel???

 

jinkies.. you really talk out of your ass Nick.. talk to me when you actually have voted in an election and know the facts..

 

uncivil and unmoral would be to pick and choose... thats what YOU suggested..

No it wouldnt. there is nothing uncivil or unmoral about picking and choosing.

 

But we shouldnt send them back, we should make as many of them as we can citizens.

who are YOU or 'we' as a nation, to pick and choose or deem who is fit to be here legally and who isn't?? Granted if they are convicted felons or something of that extreme.. maybe I could see them denying their citizenship.. but even then, its a touchy subject...

 

 

by 'us' deeming who is fit topass and who isn't... you're placing 'us' on a higher level..

Not me, not we, but the goverment. it is within their right and duty to be able to do so.

Just curious, if the US actually makes all the illegal immigrants leave, who's going to take their place in the workforce? And better yet, who will work for that low of a wage?

ok basically the problem with illegal immigrants is that the only thing they do is dub down our social services. If they go to a hospital and are hurt, the hospital doesnt turn th em away, it just comes out in our taxes. So basically we have to pay for them when they have a baby in a hospital or something. Corporations like to hire illegals because they will work for 3 dollars an hour. The average American doesnt mind working, he just wants to be paid his fair minimum wage. and so with no jobs for average americans unemployment goes up. also illegals dont pay income tax so yea....

 

a fair solution to all of this is......PUNISH THE PEOPLE WHO HIRE ILLEGALS!!!! if you throw a buisiness owner in jail for a month per illegal, or fine him 100,000$ per illegal hired, i GARUNTEE YOU illegal workers being hired will drop to NONE. And with no jobs here, they will either be forced to go through a naturalization process like all the other aliens (legal ones) or be forced to leave.

newsflash bucko.... the government is suppose to work for US!!!!! It doesn't have a mind of its own.... WE choose the politicians to represent us.. ergo the 'WE' in my statement.... sure elections could be rigged as we saw in 2000, but thats neither here nor there.. the fact is.. the government works for US! So no, it doesn't give them the right.....

But it does. the goverment has the right to pick and choose what illegal immagrants it wants to stay or go. it is within its powers as it should be.

I dont think we should kick them out, BUT there are americans here that will do the work.

what gives the government the right????

Because they are the goverment. what gives them the right to arrest me if i commit a crime? what gives them the right to tax me?

apparently you weren't paying attention in Social Studies lol -taxes are stupid.. What gives local government the right to arrest you if you commit a crime? Exactly that... you commited a crime.... it isn't the same as giving them the power to pick and choose who they see fit to stay? Not that that the government would ever do that shite... but just to prove the point.

They wouldnt, but they still have the right to do if they wished to.

again I ask... why? What gives them the right? Simply because they are the government??

oh for chrissakes lol

 

 

this isn't the topic we were discussing... lol you said they could pick and choose... to become a citizen you have to apply, then take a test.... and interview... then you get picked.... then you get sworn in. We're talking about thousands upon thousands of people who would be affected....... you can't just choose.

It would be unwise to do that, but they can if they wish to do so. thats what i am saying, if the goverment wanted to it could, and do so legally.
