Alphecca: Compromise on Border

May 19, 2006

Compromise on Border

In an effort to find middle ground in the debate over illegal immigration, President George Bush followed last night’s nationally-televised speech with an announcement this morning that the U.S.-Mexican border would be moved up to Missouri.

Under the president’s plan, the new southern boundary of the United States roughly follows the path of Interstate 70, which in Missouri runs from Kansas City to St. Louis. The new line extends to the east through the middle of Washington D.C., and meets the Pacific coast just north of San Francisco.

An unnamed White House spokesman said the plan will relieve the pressure along the current 2,000 mile Mexican border by adding another thousand miles to it.

Heh! to Scott Ott.

I believed it for about a tenth of a second.

Sounds like a good analogy for some of the proposed solutions, though.

Not necessarily the Presidentially-proposed solutions, but some of the ones that have been floating around.

That's cutting it close... I live about 3 miles north of I-70 in MO.

No, thanks, I'd have to move to S Dakota.

Just BUILD THE (BLANKING) WALL!

How about giving them NYC and California; that way they can have plenty of jobs in California, and all sorts of diversity in NYC.

Since I live in Arizona, that would mean...Ooooo, noooooo!

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
