I Think I Have The Perfect Solution To Our Border Problem !!!

[WillyT]

Mexican Border of course... :sarcasm:

And I have to give credit to the rePukes (not easily done for this happy camper) who want to end the Constitutional provision that says that if you are born in this country, you are automatically a citizen of this country.

Here's my proposal...

As an ex-8th Grade U.S. History\Literature Teacher, I and others of similar nerdliness, will develop an exam (100 questions) that will determine who gets to stay in this country, and who does not. In other words, just WHO is worthy of U.S. citizenship. The questions will be a mixture of true/false, multiple choice, and essay. And... I'm sorry to say, there will be an anti-affirmative provision in this test of citizenry. In other words... the test will be weighted favorably\unfavorably towards a certain segment, depending on one's point of view... or education...

If... you have managed to save up over many months and years the little pittance you are paid (when you are paid), managed to learn and speak at least a couple dozen words of a foreign language, been able to travel hundreds of miles in dangerous conditions with life threatening risks all about you, cross a heavily guarded border being monitored by the most sophisticated intelligence apparatus in the history of mankind, read maps, make acquaintances, and find steady employment...

...you only have to score 50% to become a U.S. Citizen (and frankly I think that is too high).

But If... you have been taught in public schools in the 'greatest' country in the world on our tax dollars, and have had your life enhanced by the progressive movement, New Deal, GI Bill, Voting Rights Act, etc. only to shit all over it, and have become a total American Idiot Dumb-Ass...

You have to score 90%, and accept a kick in the ass to remain a U.S. Citizen... and frankly, that's too low.

Bless yo mommy's loins.

8. Does this help?

[tyedyeto]

4. Give that same test to high school graduates

and see what the outcome is. More than likely, those who desire to become an American citizen will score much higher than those who have been eduacted in this country all their lives.

5. Yep...

7. The Boss on Illegal Immigration

Matamoros Banks by Bruce Springsteen.


Each year many die crossing the deserts, mountains, and rivers of our southern border in search of a better life. Here I follow the journey backwards, from the body at the river bottom, to the man walking across the desert towards the banks of the Rio Grande.

For two days the river keeps you down
Then you rise to the light without a sound
Past the playgrounds and empty switching yards
The turtles eat the skin from your eyes, so they lay open to the stars

Your clothes give way to the current and river stone
'Till every trace of who you ever were is gone
And the things of the earth they make their claim
That the things of heaven may do the same
Goodbye, my darling, for your love I give God thanks,
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros banks

Over rivers of stone and ancient ocean beds
I walk on sandals of twine and tire tread
My pockets full of dust, my mouth filled with cool stone
The pale moon opens the earth to its bones
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks
The touch of your loving fingertips
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros banks

Your sweet memory comes on the evenin' wind
I sleep and dream of holding you in my arms again
The lights of Brownsville, across the river shine
A shout rings out and into the silty red river I dive
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks
A touch of your loving fingertips
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros banks

Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros banks

9. How about enforcing the laws we have already?!

Instead of making more laws, lets enforce the ones already there.
