This is a really complicated issue for me. I don't think a wall will work. I think we have the electronic surveillance capability to monitor the borders. We need to beef up the border patrols, almost like a rapid response para-military unit, minus the big artillery, and allow them to do their job.
We've got 12 million illegals in the country (although I'll be there's a lot more). Rounding them all up and deporting them is almost logistically impossible, so I really don't know what to do except deport them as you find them... and make sure that you photograph, fingerprint and microchip them on the way out, also make sure that they know that if they come back illegally, the punishment will be severe. We also need to streamline(and take the lawyers out of the process) the immigration process, how may are here illegally because their applications are in process. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (703) 220-2835 http://www.sstwebworks.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/sstwebworks -----Original Message----- From: Tony [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 12:06 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Gas Station Jihad? the more and more i think about it, the more and more im in favor of a wall being built on our borders, cruise missiles and other defense mechanisms around our waterways, and lets use this nation to make everything we need and become self-contained. it sucks, but im getting closer to wanting this as the days go on. tw On 8/9/07, Larry Lyons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >am i crazy to think about this... > > Big problem with this is that the more people, the more its likely to be discovered.
