My vote would be the Jessica Tarlov thread, but I like this one too.

You're only saying that because you posted both of them.

Oh no! You figured me out!

What the hell is wrong with re-opening Alcatraz? That’s a great idea.

Marc’s suggestion is a good one too as long as it’s “illegal immigrants” and not the legal immigrants who are obviously welcome.

Open both. The escapees can be lunch for sharks, or lunch for alligators.

You're on board with the meat suit idea, too? Nice! I never would've guessed.

Lol no, not on board with any version of turning our national immigration policy into a reality show. Our immigration law has focused on bleeding heart factors like family reunification for too long, a Hunger Games competition would be lots more fun but still isn't aimed at meeting our workforce needs like immigration policy should. We should have a points system like Canada and Australia use, but that'd take bipartisan Congressional action so I'm not holding my breath.

But the Florida AG's idea for a detention facility has potential.

No. We actually need a system like this: If you want to come to this country from another part of the world to live and work, you need to first, pledge allegiance to our country and its laws, second, honor and respect our laws and culture, and third, do what you can to positively contribute to our society while enriching your own life. You can maintain some of the culture from your country of origin and even share it with us. Heck, part of the reason we are who we are is because legal immigrants from around the world over the course of our existence have given us the best of each of their respective cultures for us to integrate into our own. Whether it be cuisine, sports, fashion, or whatever else you can think of, that's been a good thing for us. You could even say a welcome thing.

But there's a problem. A lot of the illegal immigrants in this country aren't here to help make our country better. Some of them are, yes. And they should be given a chance to make amends and be here the right way. Those that aren't, on the other hand, are not here to both enrich themselves and our country. They don't respect our laws, our culture, or our way of life. All jokes aside, we need to reward those who have followed the rules and discipline those who haven't. And really, it shouldn't be easy to get here legally. I'm not saying an immigrant should jump through hoops to be here, but following the rules is one way of showing they're coming here in good faith and is looking to make a positive impact in the part of the country they want to eventually call their home.

And really, when you think about it, illegal immigration is the root cause of a number of problems as well. The Fentanyl epidemic, human trafficking, inner city violence (to some degree, at least), ... the list goes on. Quelling illegal immigration will help alleviate these problems as well. Whether you like the current solutions being tried by Trump, you have to admit this wouldn't be much of an issue if the previous administration had just left the immigration policies from the first Trump Administration in place. (Or at least as much of an issue as it is now.) I'm in favor of people wanting to be here. We're still the greatest civilization in the history of the known universe. But they have to do it the right way. Otherwise, we have every right to send them back. (As we should.)

All due respect.

Frick em.

If they are here illegally cut them off completely and throw them the frick out.

Let them fix their own shiteholes not create shithole colonies here.

2 shifts, breakfast and lunch.

Sunday brunch goes from 10:30-4:00.

All set, let the feast begin. Festivus.


/Pretty sure Trump inquired about this at some point in the last 10 yrs.

About the illegal invaders crossing the Rio Grande. “Can’t we just fill the place with alligators or crocs or something”?

Course that solution would leave a lot of pythons unemployed.

That's the point of "pledge allegiance to our country" upon entering, SK. Integrating yourself into our culture means no colonies. (I thought I was clear on that. lol)
