In English today, Clink put a huge run-on that we had to correct up on the overhead projector. It had something to do with a guy named Slim looking out over a prairie feeling good because in an hour he was going to have reached the Rio Grand. She then chose volunteers to share how they rewrote it. I composed mine and decided to share it with the class. It went something like this:
Slim, a Mexican hoping to illegally cross our border and steal our hard-earned tax dollars, looks across the lonely prairie knowing that within an hour he'll arrive at a sanctuary run by un-American, Liberal extremists. He feels good inside while thousands of sick children all over America can't get efficient service because unlawful immigrants are clogging up our healthcare system.
It was pretty heartily, until Clink decided to point out I focused too much on voice rather than sentence fluency. Whatever!

These are interesting statistics. Where did you find them all? And I was just curious, what do you propose is the solution to the immigration issue? If these statistics are correct, then I can agree that something needs to be done about these immigrants who are eating up our tax dollars. But what?
^^^ "Here are some stats from a 2006 FBI report:" ^^^
Concerning stopping illegal immigration, I'd do two things
Firstly I'd suggest we legalize opium, among other drugs (and that's my only Liberal idea!). If one of the top reasons that illegal immigrants come to America is to smuggle drugs in and make some cash off them, we should take away that opportunity. We place a HUGE tariff on drugs, suck out all their money, and as frank as this may sound, let the druggies sniff themselves to death. The demand for drugs will go down and along with it, their value. They will (theoretically) stop bringing the drugs over if they aren't making money off them any more, the addicts will have kicked the bucket, and the migrants (hopefully) will be discouraged from a lot of the illegal immigration.
Secondly I'd abolish the food stamp and unemployment system. Honestly, I don't agree with Americans using it, so the idea of some foreigners sneaking in to exploit it is completely mind-blowing to me. If that few of them are actually coming here to work and be good, naturalized citizens, why not suppress the onslaught by eliminating it? These welfare benefits are way too much. It just encourages people not to work, and they are going to keep on not working. It takes the hard-earned profits from diligent, industrious, workers and gives it to people who've made poor choices in life and decided they are above being motivated to labor. Welcome to America, the land where people are created equal, but will be judged differently during adulthood by how they've lived their lives. The Founding Fathers intentionally worded it that way. Some people have misinterpreted this to mean that everyone is always equal. No. The priveleges of America are reserved to the people who work hard and contribute to the country. They wrote the Constitution so that only people who owned property could vote. In general, people who owned the land were educated people, and deemed worthy of the right to vote.
"Amended by the Bill of Rights, the Constitution was still a political document, not an act of God... Many modern commentators argue that the Constitution was perfectly realized means of assuring the control of the wealthy over the weak, with enough table scraps for the working and middle classes to assure popular support."

And I won't even start on poverty! 85% of Americans under the poverty line are better off than the entire rest of the world. 89% of the Americans defined as poor in the census had enough food to eat all year and only 2% had regular hunger bouts. The government estimated that less than .3% of Americans are homeless. The vast majo
