Illegal immigrants should be shipped to war zones

May 11, 2005

The illegal immigrants are cunning enough to get into our United States and take up jobs. It would be good to pass a law that would require them to be constructive, since they wanted to be here so bad.

The men from age 18 to 40 should be required to do 10 years in our military. They should be exclusively in the infantry, with no possibility of any promotion until they have 10 years of service time. They should be trained for combat and immediately sent to any war zone, in the very most dangerous area.

They should be kept in that area, for as long as it is troubled, and definitely kept in the most dangerous area. This can have a twofold purpose.

1. We can utilize the fact that they are here in our country, thereby taking pressure away from our young men (citizens) who are in our military.

2. It will help the other ones who are thinking about sneaking into our nation to evaluate whether this is really what they want.

Also, make sure they are taxed for everything that is taxable. Definitely refuse to give them any assistance.

HA! That's a novel idea. Can those shipments start today?

Great IDEA, Give them weapons and then tell them they are on our side.

Speaking as a retired ol' NCO, "Hell no!"

That job is hard enough without adding to the mix:

1) Someone who doesn't want to be there
2) Can't speak the language
3) Would not be fighting for *his* country

You do a serious disservice to even suggest foisting this upon the heroic volunteers of our country who now serve with pride and honor.

Just send 'em home and let 'em wait in line like they should have done in the first place.

Well Said Rarius

Send 'em home with a Happy Meal and as for "waiting in line".....I think we'll close the door and do away with the line or any need to wait for it.

We've got more people than our nation can feed, clothe, educate, employ, and heal.....

Until everyone has a job, an education, savings, retirement, good health....we don't need any more people coming into the United States.

It's time to FOCUS everything on Americans.....to make us the strongest, happiest, best educated, wealthiest people on Earth....

THEN, if others haven't had the sense to follow our example.....MAYBE, we'll fly down and give them some lessons there in their own country.

I mean afterall.....charity begins at home does it not?

Well Said Rarius. I, as a retired officer, would not want a disjointed unit full of people not dedicated to this nation. On the other hand, as 11B's , they would have a very short life expectancy.
