Well put Tommy.
Unfortunately, the immigration problem is tied to the global economy, not just here in the United States.
Speaking for this country alone, there is a way to not only put a STOP to illegal immigration, but to put us back on an even playing field as far as our economy goes.
I don't think this will ever happen, but it would certainly be a solid way of going back to what we once had.
By the way, these are DRASTIC STEPS, but drastic times call for drastic measures.
Some of these points I have made in other threads dealing with illegal immigration, with the same response, "it will never happen".
First step is to Nationalize this country.
What that means is to go back to when we were an America for America.
No global economy to drive us to the poor house.
Everything in the country is produced in the country, for the country.
No imports at all, no outsourcing of labor to countries like India
Wages and prices drop back to what they were in the early sixties, with no exceptions.
No high cost fuel imported from the middle east or, latin america.
Use what we have in our own country.
As for illegal immigration (which by the way is far more prevelant on our southern border than northern) a very simple solution.
For every quarter mile, for the entire legnth of the southern border, large billboards need to be erected, facing the mexico side, stating in big red letters, in spanish, "IF YOU ENTER THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT PROPER DOCUMENTATION, YOU WILL BE SHOT ON THE SPOT, AND GO HOME IN A BODY BAG...NO EXCEPTIONS."
Naturally this would be backed up by a large national guard presence.
Shoot enough of these lowlifes, and the rest would get the message.
Just like cocroaches, kill enough of them, and the rest get the message to stay away.
That would put an end to the illegal immigration problem, once and for all.
As for the nationalizing of the country, it is the surest way to make sure America is for Americans, and no one else.
We, and only we would be responsible for our needs, and the people to bring about those needs.
Could you imagine for just one tiny second, what it would be like to have no imported cars, imported, (tainted food), unregulated perscription medications comming in from china?
No more NewYork stock market contingent on a world economy?
This is but a small list of what things could be like if Americans would think about America for a change.
Sure it sounds like some sort of Shangrila, a place that could never be, but thankfully I am old enough to remember when things in this country were as I described here.
It was a great time to live in this country.
I am talking about the 50's and early 60's
Ithink then, all our oil came from our own land, and gas was a whopping 15cents a gallon.
Of cource, wages were very low, but so were goods and services.
Just a thought, and it would be nice.
Bob.
