How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico

[Danno 1,228]

Hmmmm Imagine that;

They were looking for mexicans so they targeted people who LOOKED LIKE mexicans.

What kinda crazy logic is that!

Oh yea, soap box time. You know who has the power to bring back "ballsy" politicians don't you? We do. Or I should say the USC's of this group. We do, but we won't. How many times do you hear just throw the bums out but we don't ever do it. We just vote (if we vote at all) for the clone on the other side. We vote for whomever the media tells us we should vote for. Hardly ever do I hear anyone say they actually researched what the person running stood for and what their views are. It's always "They just seemed better or more honest", Pllllleeeeeaaaasssseeeee!!!!!! If we want better politicians it is up to us to show them that. If we want less influence by lobbyist and big business then it is up to us. WE have the power to do so but the vast majority of us refuse to wield it. Big heavy sigh.

...Shakes his head and walks off in disgust.

yep, i'm all for making it harder on illegal immigrants and the ones that exploit them.

you get caught renting to an illegal-your property is seized & auctioned.

you employ illegals- $10,000 dollars per illegal 1st offence

you employ illegals 2nd offence $20,000 per.

you employ illegals 3rd offence assets business & private seized & auctioned.

how do we pay for it...read above again.

what do we do w/ them. lock'em up & bus them home.(don't wanna hear any BS they broke the law-lock'em up)

path to citizenship w/o doing it the right way- 5 years military service.

you want to be American-prove it!

Agree 100%.

Why is it candidates are not asked who their cabinet will be if they win? Many people forget the president is not the only person who calls the shots.

Also many potential great leaders are blocked out because they have limited or no resources to sponsor a campaign whereas your obamas and his equivalent have millions and millions of dollars behind them. Money to say look at me and my smile rather than what I stand for and how good I will be for the job.

great practical and proven ideas..

People need to forget the republican / democrat divide and start voting people in based on their experience and commitment to their community and the country. And not solely of their stance on trivial issues..
