We need to build a giant dome over the mainland U.S.
It's too easy for illegal immigrants to climb over walls, so a dome is the only solution.

1. Great idea
It will cut down on global warming and create a lot of jobs, too!

3. And then we could attach giant swings to the ceiling
and just swing from one side of the country to the other.

6. It needs to have spikes.
Sharp ones with infectious agents attached to them.

It is too easy to drill through a dome without spikes.

12. The world outside the US is such a threat
The Mexicans willing to do the low paid work, the French with their fries, the swarms of Uzbekistanians just waiting to drill the oil - they are all out to get us!

An invisible, impenetrable force field, just like on star trek.

18. And We could have Giant GE Reveal Lightbulbs for Light
And a giant airconditioner by Trane. And we could use kool-aid for rain, pumped through giant plumbing installed on the roof.
