All you have to do is make it magnetic; reverse the Polarity; and its a green energy solution to deporting crack heads by the hundreds of thousand at a very efficient cost ratio

Amendment Would Allow Illegal Aliens to ‘‘Ride’’ Into U.S. on Giant Conveyor Belts

(WASHINGTON) —With sweeping legislation giving illegal aliens a “pathway to citizenship” about to pass the Senate, a prominent Republican and member of the “Gang of 8” has tacked on one of the most bizarre and controversial amendments to the bill yet.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), introduced an eleventh hour amendment to the bill which would create dozens of giant conveyor belts to shuttle illegal immigrants from Mexico into the U.S. Graham described the conveyor belts as “humanitarian gestures” and “life-saving necessities,” as hundreds of people crossing into the United States die of exhaustion and dehydration every year in the treacherous Mojave Desert or drown in the Rio Grande. The amendment would also forbid any U.S. law enforcement agent of any kind from being at the receiving end of the 20 to 50 miles–long conveyor belts, allowing as many undocumented persons from unknown lands to “convey” themselves into the United States as possible.

“Not only would these conveyor belts save lives; lives of family members of many undocumented immigrants we have living in the shadows today,” said Sen. Graham on the Senate floor, Thursday morning, “but they would be solar-powered, too, thereby helping the environment.”

If the amendment is allowed to remain, about 96 giant conveyor belts, some stretching as long as 100 miles to keep illegals from crossing scorching terrain and dangerous waters, would be built in a joint effort between Mexico and the U.S. They would be peppered throughout the 3,100–mile–wide U.S.–Mexican border, allowing Mexicans and other Latin America peoples (along with a Middle Eastern terrorist or two…but who cares, you know?) to simply hop on and ride their way comfortably to the great American promise land.

Beginning as deep in Mexico as its city of Nuevo Casas Grandes and extending as far into the U.S. as Silver City, TX, the conveyor belts will undoubtedly save many people seeking better lives in the U.S., as well as give them comfortable passage for their journey.
Fellow Republican senator Rand Paul, an outspoken critic of the immigration reform bill, is already expressing his shock and displeasure with the conveyor belt amendment. “So now instead of securing the borders we’re going to allow illegals to literally be shuttled, ‘dumped’ into the country from Mexico, just like they were inanimate objects, like vegetables –potatoes, cabbage? …More like jalapenos.”

Sen. Paul (R-KY) said the idea of conveyor belts shuttling illegal aliens into the U.S. from south of the border was anything than the “tighter border security” many had hoped to get out of the bill, as well as being degrading to those crossing the border, as “a conveyor belt would demean and reduce the dignity of people to that a chattel,” according to the Kentucky senator.

Also and ironically shocked by the conveyor belt proposal was Janet Murguía, President and CEO of La Raza, a prominent pro-amnesty advocacy group. Said Murguía in response to Sen. Graham’s amendment Thursday morning, “We’ve had issues with some of the bill’s provisions, like making undocumented immigrants pay a fine, earn green cards, take citizenship tests, go through background checks, learn English or do anything that in any way contributes to society. But this ‘conveyor belt amendment’ is certainly a sweetening component to a rather disappointing bill.” Immigrant rights groups estimate that the conveyor belts could help an extra 2.5 million undocumented immigrants, mainly from Latin America, come across the border in safety each year, a fact the Senator Graham and other Republicans in the Senate’s notorious “Gang of Eight” see as enduring Hispanics to the GOP eventually, give or take 150 years.

Said Florida Senator Marco Rubio to reporters shortly after Sen. Graham’s proposed amendment, “We (Republicans) have to win over Hispanics if we are to survive as a party. We must make concessions and compromise. That’s why we’ve given illegals living the U.S. a vigorous pathway to citizenship and secured the borders… Why, tell me what’s not secure about 100 giant solar-powered conveyor belts shuttling untold millions of strangers into the United States every year, never to be officially documented or kept track of thereafter? I want to know: what’s not ‘secure’ about that?!”

“I don’t know about the rest of my Republican colleagues,” continued Sen. Rubio, “but I have read the Constitution word-for-word, and nowhere do I see where the Founding Fathers were not
in favor of giant conveyor belts dumping as many illegal immigrants as possible into the country, with no hope for assimilation. …So let’s be clear: to be ‘anti-conveyor’ is to be ‘anti-immigrant’, and immigrants are what build this nation!”
Adding to the reasons others are dissenting from the conveyor belt amendment is who will strangely profit from it —Lamar H. Singleton, a college roommate of Sen. Graham’s from the University of South Carolina and brother in his fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi. If the bill eventually becomes law Singleton, 58, and his company, Crazy for Conveyors, Inc., stand to make over 289 million dollars. Singleton’s brother-in-law, Mark Dermont, CEO of Southwest Solar, the company that has agreed to power the conveyor belts stands to earn around 410 million dollars in government subsidies if the conveyor amendment rides itself through with the rest of the immigration bill. Such blaringly close ties to Senator Graham’s “conveyor amendment” have voices of both parties crying corruption. “As usual,” said Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), “Republicans are all for immigration reform and conveyor belts…but only when it only financially benefits them and their cronies.”

John Stossel, a libertarian columnist, reporter, and regular Fox News contributor slammed the “conveyor amendment” on his Facebook page Thursday afternoon. “Liberals want open borders and illegal immigration for so-called humanitarian reasons and perceived sins of the past, White guilt, etc., while conservatives want illegals just as much, but for cheap labor. Either way it puts our country on nothing but one big conveyor belt to increased poverty, balkanization, and the loss of societal cohesion the cacophony of over-diversification has always brought to nations that have tried it.”

Despite those opposing Lindsey Graham’s conveyor belt proposal, it seems that if the Senate’s immigration reform bill passes and is approved by the House of Representatives, roughly 100 giant conveyor belts can be expected connecting the U.S. and Mexico by 2015, all moving in one direction: north.


Senator Ted Cruz, who has been one of the most outspoken opponents of immigration reform, has kept oddly silent on the conveyor belt proposal thus far. Instead of verbal railing, the Texas Republican has proposed a similar amendment, allowing conveyor belts to be built around the shore lines of America, leading miles out into the ocean, so decent, law-abiding Americans can ride out, drop off, and drown themselves rather than live in a nation that both parties now seem hell-bent on turning into anything but the one in which they grew up.
