Feds let "illegals" pile up in state prisons, page 2

That is the worst analogy ever. The people coming over the border pose absolutely no threat to myself or my family.

A better analogy would be a me deciding to exterminate every ant in the grass in my garden because they were "on my property".

Id have to disagree with you there. The swarms of illegals crossing the US Mexican border DO pose a grave threat to the safety of many Americans along those borders. Car Jackings, assaults, rapes, armed robberies, and theft by illegals committed against American citzens is very high. Lets not even mention the Mexican army firing at border agents covering for drug runners slipping over the border, plus drug dealers themselves and the violence they often cause, illegal aliens DO pose a safety risk to the citizens of this country. And there are the even more long term problems: diseases illegals might carry from their own coutnries that turn into small but serious epidemics, illegals themselves getting hit and killed on busy freeways while running across the roads, or causing accidents while doing so.

I do however disagree with Horacid's solution: robot machine guns. Thats just silly, impractical, ineffecient, and dangerous. I do believe that walls and razor wire should be set up along the border, but the best defense I think would be to pull our troops out of foreign countries and use them to guard our own border. Robot machine guns simply are not right. For instance, shooting pregnant women and kids would be wrong, even if they are illegally crossing. Robotic machiens cannot mtell the difference, and would shoot with discrimination. However, human soldiers, armed ones, could make the distinction, and instead of shooting a pregnant woman or kids, they could pursue and capture them. The only people that should be shot are armed drug runners or criiminals who are posing an immediate threat. i also think any Mexican army unit who fires at us should be blasted away with extreme prejudice.

Any illegal seized crossing the border should be caught, entered into a database, rounded up, and sent back uncerimoniously to Mexico. There is NO reason for illegal immigration from Mexico. Visa's. passports, and green cards are so friggin easy to get, and are alot cheaper than the cost to pay human smugglers to sneak you across, that one must question the intent of illegal border crossers.

But Horacids idea is pretty much an insult to efficency, common sense, basic human morality, and efectiveness.
