This whole subject sounds like it was lifted right out of The Onion.
No, but they might.kcvet said:are the Russians invading us??? guess i missed that one
No, but they might.
<sarcasm> Isn't that the reason that you are all keeping huge private arsenals of pistols, rifles, assault weapons & personal anti aircraft devices? </sarcasm>
Honestly kcvet, do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you suggest that all that you need to do to deal with a flood of juveniles being smuggled across the border is to strafe Mexico, or do you want to declare war on all of Central America? Why not drop a hydrogen bomb or two and destroy both American continents? That should fix it once and for all.
My reference to Russia was the callous indifference they are showing about the lives of civilians, including children and infants. If the US were to do what I think you suggest with that photo then, as a nation, you would be no better than Russia. So much for American exceptionalism.

We've got all of these already with the possible exception of Chikungunya which I've never heard of. We also have Lime disease, Ross River virus and Hendra virus and many other diseases but we do have a good public health system that controls them. They certainly aren't at plague proportions over here. How bad is your plague situation?have ever heard of HIV, Dengue fever, Chikungunya, hepatitis just to name a few. we can arrange to bring these plagues to your shores. that ok??. no??
kcvet, I'm willing to concede that you face different problems to us. For one thing you have land borders with your neighbours. We don't. Our border is the ocean but our northern coastline is not all that far from our closest neighbours, just as Alaska is close to Russia.
Also, the number of people attempting to reach Australia by boat is miniscule to the numbers that you are facing.
But when you suggest by way of a photo of a military aircraft that one airstrike will solve the problem, I don't really feel like reading anything else that you put up. You aren't being serious.
To solve a problem one must first clarify what the problem is, then work out what is causing it. Then you might be ready to explore a number of solutions, none of which, short of a real war, is likely to involve military strike fighters, especially where children are part of the problem.

By the way, you have (bubonic/pneumonic) plague and rabies too. So far we've escaped these and no, you can't ship yours over here. We have pretty strict quarantine rules. We don't lock horses and immigrants away for six months anymore but we'd probably make an exception for these two.

your from Australia. how could you possibly know the problems we face here. also its obvious you decided not to read what I posted.
oh Warrigal tap tap its not just children. its adults to. dangereous criminals. do you understand this or am I not making myself clear??
have ever heard of HIV, Dengue fever, Chikengunya, hepatitis just to name a few. we can arrange to bring these plagues to your shores. that ok??. no??
we just want our border closed to these threats. need I say more, or are you that obuse ???
who said anything about an air strike???
just takes one. Border closed problem solved
This did.

Plus this
If the laws would have been followed, our borders would have been protected, instead of having the border patrol back down to allow all these illegals to infiltrate our country. Today I read that Gov Perry is preparing to deploy the National guard to help solve their problem with dangerous gang members , drug dealers. Human traffickers etc, unless he needs government approval, which will probably not be given.
It's interesting that all these illegals should be welcomed with open arms, but our President won't even go to the border to meet with them. He may be afraid of catching some of these diseases you mentioned, kcvet and bringing them home to his wife and children.
What was I to infer? That you wanted to sell tickets for joy rides?did I say kill anyone with it???

I've never seen one of those before but it didn't look like a passenger plane to me.
One interesting aspect of this situation is that these countries see the U.S. as being weak because of our liberal immigration policy and seek to take advantage of it, whereas the more liberal citizens here see it as being one of our strengths as well as our historical legacy.
Much like a bully picking on a small, quiet person, they might find out to their dismay that the small person might actually be an experienced warrior. In this case that would mean returning all of their children that they thought we would never turn back.
good post Misty. I totally agree. I read a Mexican Helo went across the river and fired on our border patrol. they claim it was accidental but flying 100 yards into US air space is a serious offense.
also Pelosi went down there i think for a photo op. she's in favor of dropping the guard and just let em pour in. but she refuse to touch any of them

Same Warrigal said:Some people seem to begrudge even this basic level of care for the children who make the long journey from Central America and finally make it across the border still alive.
