A fashion shoot on Miami Beach was interrupted when a boat pulled up to the beach, and nine or so men abandoned the ship and scattered. The New Times Broward-Palm Beach reports that Russian photographer Ekaterina Juskowski hit the beach early at 6 a.m., but had to stop shooting her model friend when a boat arrived nearby. She initially thought the vessel might just be carrying scuba divers, but it came right up to the shore and the passengers jumped off.
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

I think our country is being invaded and we are worried about the Middle East. We need troops on the beaches.

Why stop at troops? Why not build a 50 ft wall all along each coast, just at the shoreline? That would make sense, wouldn't it? Then we would need the same wall on our land boarders with Canada...then another in Alaska since Russia is so close......

Just curious do you live in America and if you do are you full blooded American Indian? If you aren't then maybe think how you would feel if your ancestors who were immigrants were shot at and killed trying to seek a better life?? Most of us wouldn't be here that's for sure. Not saying the system isn't broken....just maybe a remedy that isn't so crazy and far fetched.
hopefully we can get back to a system that allows for welcoming legal immigrants to our great country.

There is no difference. Ask all the American Indians if the original colonists were legally coming to this country...If they weren't all killed off I'm sure they would call us the illegal immigrants. Heck maybe we can go to the few Indian reservations around in the US and conduct a poll. The only people who considered it "legal" as you say were the ones flocking to America. While I understand hyperbole and appreciate it more than the next man, there is also a real conversation that needs to be had. This country was made great by it's millions of legal immigrants....hopefully we can get back to a system that allows for welcoming legal immigrants to our great country.
