Solution to the problem of finding 6,000 border guards

[LiberalEsto]

As Rachel Maddow pointed out on her show yesterday, the National Guard has severe recruiting problems. Where on earth is ** going to find 6,000 National Guard members who aren't busy serving in Iraq, recovering from injuries in Iraq, or helping flood victims in New England?

Simple: Hire illegal immigrants to police the border!
:sarcasm: :sarcasm: warning!

The Misadministration could pay them each $10 a day, slightly relieving the huge federal deficit. The National Guard would be free to invade Iran, Venezuela, Syria and whatever country is on this month's enemies list.

When people try to cross the border, the new Illegal Alien Border Guard would stop them, and hire them to HELP patrol the border.

Pretty soon there would be MORE than enough border guards to REALLY guard that entire border. And they would be able to communicate with the folks crossing the border - no language barrier!

But the border might get a bit crowded, so maybe there needs to be a sort of Demilitarized Zone -- a border zone that's 25 or 50 miles wide. Or 100 miles. Put in some nice bunkhouses, some stores, casinos and other stuff to keep the Illegal Alien Border Patrol folks happy. Add another 5 miles now and then.

Maybe open some factories making cheap goods like the ones made by slave workers in China. It would save WalWart some shipping costs.

If it really gets too crowded, pick a bunch and ship them off to Iraq or the War du Jour. If they come back, give them a break and let them become citizens.

:sarcasm: off.

1. Or, we could deputize the Minutemen.

Give them an appropriate 2-4 week training course and turn'em loose.

2. I was thinking they could go to Syria instead nt

3. I wasn't aware that Syria had an immigration problem?

5. No, to fight Al Kayda and capture #2, #2 and #2

Naturally!

4. and what would we do after the first day?

When they all get scared and run away?

6. They could hire back 2/3 of the border patrol positions they cut
