Perhaps we should arm the border patrol with rocks so they can return
"fire".
I was a the the Boeing Museum of flight a couple of weeks ago and saw
the first air to air weapons. Bricks cut in half. I think we should
return to these. True skill is required to hit your opponent.

Hmmm,
Jose's Aircraft INC,....come on down and let our dopehead mechs rebuild
the engine on your Cessna! Take a ride with the drunk CFI for the thrill of
your life! Come fly with us as we smuggle terrorists into the country! But
wait ...sorry we can't ...we don't have any work rules and no one has shown
up

If [the SSN is] not valid, the person at the other end tells us that
"This person should contact the Social Security Administration, since
there is something wrong with their number." They don't really care if
it indicates that the person is an illegal alien.

In a perfect world, they would send the gendarmes over to arrest the
illegal...


You mean, the same way it works in the ADIZ if ATC makes a boo-boo?

I'm not in support of illegal aliens, but I disagree that "closing the
borders" will solve any of our problems. I also disagree that zero
tolerance is a good solution for anything, be it drugs, work rules,
terror, or aviation errors.

The illegals around here don't pay into the Social Security system. They

don't
have those types of jobs.

There's also a bunch of people living near the US-Mexico border that collect
SS checks that never paid a dime into the system. They have a PO box in the
town on the US side of the border and check it once a month.

About ten years ago, I worked with a fellow who had immigrated from the old
USSR just a few months earlier. After a couple months he brought his mother
over and within a month she was drawing SS benefits since she was over 63 or
whatever. Yup...just weeks after hitting the US for the first time.

There's a neat trick practiced about coming to the US when 8 1/2 months
pregnant, then having your delivery here. Kid automatically becomes a US
citizen and Mom is entitled to all sorts of goodies.

Very simple.....votes. Upset the Latino community and its all over.


When Arizona passed it's Prop 200, the highest percentage block voting FOR
it (some 75% or so) was the legal/2nd generation Hispanics.

Illegals can't vote.

Only US citizens can.

If the (legal) Latino community gets upset at the suggestion of tougher
border control, they are insulting their own people by implying all, or
most, Latinos are criminals.

Doh!

Listen to the Latino community leaders. You are dead wrong. Every time
talk of closing the border is mentioned they get on the racist band wagon.


That's the "leaders"; listen to the average Joe (or should I say "Jose").
See post about AZ's Prop 200.

Ain't it weird!
We all seem to know where they are but our Homeland Security doesn't?
Around 11 million they say, and can not find them. Hmmm is it just me or
does common sense say if you can't stop illegals at the border or find 11
million already here Osama himself could walk across the border and we

would
never know it..well until something else blows up! Makes all these subway
searches and crap look real stupid in my book.


The illegal aliens must be flying GA aircraft into DCA.

Farmers were upset in Arizona. They did a crack down and there were not
enough laborers to pick the fields. I heard they eased up a bit to help

them
out.

There's plenty of laborers; they get migrant worker (temporary)permits (??)
easily.
