Farmers Branch, TX & other immigration issues thread.
Time
Well all, it seems that this exceedingly terrible piece of legislation has failed. Now hopefully we can move on and only hope that the politicians on Capitol Hill have seen that most Americans only want our current laws enforced and the border completely secured. Being on the frontline of the fight, I see everyday how badly this illegal immigration is destroying America. Here is a list of my recommendations to fix this problem.

1. Build a huge wall.
Why is this such an issue, China built a very large and amazingly secure wall centuries ago. Why in this supposedly advanced age of technology and machines can we not build something similar, but on a much smaller scale. Starting from the Gulf of Mexico and ending at the Pacific Ocean there should a stone wall measuring at least 20 foot high and 16 fet wide. Put a walking area atop it with stations for Border Patrol officers. Also place several Unmanned Aerial Vehicles along with portions of electronics surveillance systems and several brigades of National Guard Troops on call all along to thing and our border would be pretty damn secure. Also give more funding to the borders Law Enforcement Agencies, there are several Sheriff's along the border who could do a hell of job enforcing the nations laws if given the power, people, and funding to do so.

2. Deport whenever possible.
I am not saying we should start raiding parties and go door to door demanding papers. However, if any illegal alien is legally detained by any police officer in the United States, the police officer should be allowed to determine residency status and then place the subject in custody for deportation. Now if you begin deporting some here and there, many will go back willingly after the heads of families are deported. You do not have to deport all 20 million illegals here, just only about 25% would actually have to be deported. Also, if an officer pulls an Illegal over who has no drivers license, insurance, or proof of residency, the officer should be allowed to seize the vehicle and have the illegal deported. You do that a few times and I promise, illegals would be running for the border.

3. Make it harder for them to be here. This entails many things that needs to be done.
(a) Enforce criminal penalties on those who willingly hire illegals. Not so hard to understand, is it.
(b) Healthcare restrictions. I am not for not taking care of people whenever they needs it, but right now we have whole hospitals shutting down and filing bankruptcy because they take care of illegals who have no insurance and never pay their bills. Let's restrict when and how the illegals can be treated. First, nothing outside of life threatening should be treated at all. If an illegal walks into an E.R. with a cut thumb, they should be given a pamphlet instructing them how what to buy at Wal-mart in order to take care of it themselves. Also, if they walk in with something that is necessary to treat and is deemed potentially life threatening (i.e. fever, severe illness, what have you) then all money they have on their persons should be taken as payment along with extensive identifying marks, features, addresses, water bills, etc.
(c) NO WELFARE OR W.I.C. Plain and simple isn't it. If you are not a United States Citizen, then you are not entitled to any welfare or women with infant children (W.I.C.) assistance. I used to work in a supermarket about 10 years ago and I could not tell you how many times I had to take illegals around to store to show them what they could get under W.I.C. or how many times illegals would walk up with a Lone Star Card (Texas Welfare Credit Card) and buy $2000 worth of groceries. Then after buying all the free welfare food, the illegal men would pull a wad of money out of his pockets and buy $150-$200 worth of beer. Huge amount of money in their pocket and they use welfare, sad.
(d) Charge illegals for schooling. Right now the school systems are being ripped apart at the seams here in Texas. If any illegals want their children to be educated, they have to pay fees and penalties. If a child's residency cannot be established, the school should then demand that payment be made (somewhere around $2000-$3000) for each kid admitted into the school for each school year. I know here in Texas, we already have to pay fees if we sends our kids to districts where we have no residency (i.e. Dallas kid wants to go to Fort Worth ISD, parents pay fees upwards to $2000 to F.W.I.S.D. and kid goes to Fort Worth) Why can't we do the same for illegals regardless of residency within a school district, but based upon citizenship.

There are many details to hash out, but for the most part if you were to invoke any of the ideas listed above, many illegals would just go back because living here would no longer be the great joyride it is today for most of them such as free education, medical coverage, welfare, lack of deportation risks. Maybe some of my ideas my seem extreme, but if you put the pen to paper and realize the finanical impact these illegals could cause us over the course of the next 25 years, funding for these projects would be so much cheaper by far.

star trek XI J.J. Abrams

I might have said this before on here, but I'd love to see a Trek series focus on Earth for a time. I've always loved the Star Trek episodes that go back to Mother Earth for whatever reason or another. Just to see the ideas of how the ideal Trek society would function and all. That would be interesting and good if pulled off correctly.

Well, aside from the lame ass "giant robot, probably made in Japan" line, I don't see much of a problem with either one of them. I'm reserving judgment though. I don't think it's going to be nearly as bad as people are making out. They've got the original voice of Optimus Prime and the Transformers "sound". So aside from making some of the characters different vehicles or items, I think it might actually be pretty good.

You can't realistically make Megatron a handgun. He'd be a 12" (at best) tall robot that any kid could destroy.


I think they should have made Megatron a tank.

Am I the only one who thinks that the inclusion of Hugh Hefner in a list of 'greatest Americans' is pretty funny too? Does he really rank in the same catagory as FDR, Reagan, of JFK?


Maybe Larry Flynt could be added as well, after all, he did have the freedom of the press and of speech question definitively answered by the supreme court. He also continues to this day to keep the politicians on their guard. He, yet again, posted a 1,000,000 reward for any evidence of any Washington politicians involved in sex scandels.

I left because I wanted to, because back then I was getting a management position that didn't allow me time to breath, let alone post in forums, and due to the increasing trolling and decreasing quality. It must have been through some divine intervention I've comen back and seen this...

I don't even NEED to reply to that moronic trolling bullshit, I'll let my reply be my absence from this forum.


Well, this is now a Dogs in Wigs thread, so just post a picture and smile!

I've been going to car shows ever since I could crawl. I know quite a bit about them.

That's something I wish I could've done, too, but circumstances didn't allow it.

One disappointment at the second last big car show I went to (International Auto Show in Toronto) was that that Ford 49 I mentioned earlier was going to be there...the day after I went. I was so excited to see the signs for it and so sad knowing I wouldn't get to see it. Did get to see the Ford Explorer woody, though. That thing was great!


Yeah, they did give me some great memories. There used to be this old style drive-in in north Dallas called Fenders, every Saturday nights they would have a really cool car show type thing, but really informal. My Dad and brothers would run up there and hang out for hours, on into at least 1-2 in the mornings. They would play 50's music and had neons everywhere. Those guys would roll through the lot in their cars, some would park. It was constantly rotating, cause some would leave and some would show up. That place closed down after only about 3-4 years of business, as I recall the only thing they did wrong was charge way too much for burgers and shakes, so they didn't sell much.

An interesting read, though as you and Tip point out lots of opinion and speculation. I think we (the U.S.) tend to very much underestimate the military capabilities of Russia, China, Syria, and Iran. Not a good thing.


I don't know if we (as in the government) necessarily underestimate them, but yes we (as in the people) do underestimate them quite a bit. I'm sure there is a secret base somewhere where some U.S. scientists have already devised a preventative measure for these things, if they are real. Thing is, you never know what the government may know, and the fact they keep it from us just to keep our spirits up. I was watching the History Channel a few weeks back and they were interviewing a former NSA or CIA agent, he stated something to the effect of that in his 32 years of service he personally knew of at least 10 instances where America was in direct and imminent danger of some sort of attack on a grand scale. However, somehow by either the skill of the agents involved or by luck, the events were derailed and everybody saved. He said if the public was made aware of those events at the time they were occurring, there would have been complete madness in the streets. Unfortunately, I cannot recall what show that was, cause I like to cite my references, but I can't remember what even the program was about, that statement just really stuck in my head.
