"Fox Fans" explain how THEY would keep illegals out of the U.S.
America's Immigration Problem

Ever wish you could whisper in the president's ear? Give him advice on issues plaguing the nation? Well, here's your chance to tell the world what you would do if you were president of the United States. Twice weekly, we'll ask our readers a question about an issue facing the nation and post your responses here.

Today's question:

If you were president, what would YOU do to keep immigrants from entering the United States illegally? And what would you do about the illegal immigrants already in our country?


http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,195646,00.html

"I would build an electric fence on the border. Then I would put troops (tanks and helicopters) on the border to stop anyone that would try come in the country illegally. What Bush is proposing is not going to do anything to stop the flow of illegal aliens. I would build tent cities in the desert, just like Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona. There, I would have the illegal aliens processed and checked to see if they are terrorists, and if they are clean, I would have the border patrol deport them back to their native country." — Carlos

"Mr. President, if I were you I would pack up Laura and the two dogs in the SUV and head back to Crawford. Because it doesn't matter what you might try to get accomplished concerning illegal immigration — with senators like Durbin and Pelosky, your damned if you do and damned if you don't." — Jack (Bullard, TX)

"I would require an ID from any immigrant, legal or illegal, in order to purchase a money order to send money back to Mexico. If they don't register, they can't support their families back home. I would also banish all foreign language usage except English." — Paul

"I would first offer to the people of Mexico the opportunity to become the 51st state in our union. If not, I would put a secure wall on our Mexican borders. I would only allow for a few immigration stations to be set up. People would be allowed to enter, but only after being held in this station for three months. During that time, they would work to pay for the care provided for them. They would work for the government, much like prisoners do. While in holding, they would have a background check. They would be 'processed' (i.e. finger printed, DNA samples taken, etc.) and watched." — Stan (Atlanta, GA)

12. You may be wrong
Exit polls of Latinos in the last election showed a trend to vote for Bush, based on his opposition to abortion and homosexuality.

7. It's a fine line between FreeRepublic and The Onion...
I guess in their own little insulated world, these things make sense to the average freep and freep-ette.

:shrug:

Good thing that wasn't done when my Italian grandmother lived on this earth. She never learned English after she came here from Naples.

I would like to ban all bigots from freeperville also.

9. What's messed up is that we've veered so far to the Right
that while saying "I would also banish all foreign language usage except English" makes you conservative, adding the words "in the United States" is sufficient to make you a "moderate".

11. DAMN THAT LIBERAL CONGRESS!
Liberals control everything!

Ain't it funny how so many want to turn our border with Mexico into the new Berlin wall?

What, no holding employers responsible? Just the brown ones, I guess.
