How to Solve Illegal Immigration

I found this Youtube video on illegal immigration proposing to solve the "crisis" in a novel way. Watch the video below for their proposed "solution". If you're too lazy to watch the 10 minute video, look below for a synopsis.




To lazy,eh? Well, I for one won't judge you (although God will). Basically, the solution proposed by the creators of the video was for the illegal immigrants to 1) Write a new constitution 2) Declare a new nation in the middle of the old one (i.e. the United States) and 3) Steamroll over anyone who objects. After all, isn't this pretty much what the Americans did?

I guess that the main point that I like from this video is the fact that they highlighted how the "illegal immigration crisis" is really nothing more than an effort by the rich and powerful to scapegoat certain groups to take away emphasis from their own activities. As far as I can tell, illegal immigration has a negligible effect on the U.S. and world economy, either for good or bad, compared to other things that are going on right now -- such as the war in Iraq, the 700 billion dollar bailout of Wall Street, etc. I personally see the huge emphasis that gets placed on illegal immigration as a kind of "smoke screen" to hide much deeper problems that currently exist in the world's economy and social structure.

What are some of your thoughts on the illegal immigration debate? I know that the gentleman blogger from www.whatburnsmybacon.com will say I'm crazy :)

Also, since some of you have observed that I seem to have an unhealthy obsession with putting pictures of young and often scantily clad girls at the end of my posts, I have decided to put some more pictures of animals at the end of the website. While I am sure that they'll get much less traffic from Google Image Search than the pictures of girls do, it's a better way to go.

Don't the pictures of cute kittens just make you all warm and gooey on the inside? I have to keep repeating "cute kittens" and terms that include "cute kittens" for the search engines.

Cute kittens :)

Wikileak Video -- Politically Overblown and Stupid

Here is the "Wikileak" video posted yesterday that shows the "shocking murder" of Iraqi civilians and reporters.

Give me a break.

What I see in this video is a group of armed men assembling in an area where U.S. troops were conducting operations. One of them was also holding something that looked suspiciously like an RPG (to me, and to the Apache as well). Furthermore, it is very clear from the dialogue in the video that the soldiers really believed that the people were militants.

Oh, as for the the "children" in the video riding along in the van, there is no way that you could tell that they are children.

It was a mistake, a tragedy (as all death is), but not a crime.



What do you think of the video? Leave me a comment!
