An Interesting Idea About Immigration… May 28, 2007
Posted by eCommando in : Uncategorized , trackbackToday is Memorial Day.
We had family and friends over, just like millions of other families around the country.
A discussion about politics opened up, which is usually not a good thing as we’re pretty well divided on the issues.
Betty, my step-mom, chimes in. “You now how we solve the immigration issue? Mandatory two year military service in Iraq. If you don’t want to protect the country, get the hell out!”
At first, I thought it was something that really couldn’t be done. But a moment later, I realized how brilliant an idea it was.
If you’re not willing to fight for the country you want to be a member of, whatever the fight might be, you don’t need to be a citizen. If, however, you’re willing to lay your life on the line for the rest of your family, for all the generations to come, then you’re welcome here.
For two years you’d get free food, free housing, training in the worlds most advanced military, in exchange for defending our country, our principals and the liberty we hold so dear. I can hear it now though, “What if you die over there?”
Well.. how about your immediate family gets immediate citizenship? I’d go for that. You lay your life on the line for the country, we’ll lay our country on the line for you and your family.
I personally am against any amnesty for illegal aliens, and they are illegal regardless of their current contribution to the country.
They broke they law when they crossed the border without documentation, so they are criminals. The fact that our government chooses not to enforce the law doesn’t change the fact that it was broken.
What do you think about it?
If you like the idea, contact your senators and congressmen and tell them about it.

I hope you’ll write them about it, as I certainly will tonight.
Happy Memorial Day!
