OT: New border wall idea...

OT: New border wall idea...

Wouldn't even take a wall, just beef up the ICE check-points on I40 and I8, and give special attention to California-licensed vehicles, like a full strip-search.

Could strangle southern California in short order >:-} ...Jim Thompson

How about minefields and motion activated 50-cal machine gun emplacements?

I think it's a great idea and AZ should commit at least 10 billion of their resident's tax dollars to the project immediately.

Glad we can all agree on something.

ICE is _Federal_ Dum Dum.

Wouldn't actually take any extra money anyway... just strip-search all cars with California plates... the traffic back-up at Yuma could extend all the way to El Centro ;-)

And from Needles back to Barstow ;-)

And Blythe to Indio on I10-) ...Jim Thompson

ICE isn't in the construction business. If you show up at a construction site in AZ wearing an International Construction Equipment T-shirt you'll probably scare some people, though.

Sounds like you're fixing to take on the trucking industry by proxy. God bless.

You have no real knowledge of the physical setup... I go thru the Yuma ICE check-point every month or so (part of our family is there... you remember, "Here comes the judge" ;-). Heavy trucks pretty much get a free pass.

(Nasty terrain, pretty much no way to avoid that check-point. I'll take a photo next trip.)

The slow-down would impede car traffic and send a clear message to Californicans that they need to fix their government, or pay a price for their ignorance.

Perhaps we should slow down traffic _into_ Californica as well... see how Disney likes kissing-up to Jerry Brown and losing money because of it ;-) ...Jim Thompson

How long will it take for the trucks to get to the checkpoint if traffic is regularly backed up that far? Some fashion of ghost-truck which can pass thru other matter?

Ignorance is bliss... so blissful I don't think you know that ignorance means "without knowledge".

There is a truck (only) lane.

Most of the rest of the world isn't as f***ed-up as Massa2shits. ...Jim Thompson

Yeah, a human rights rollback that prevents interstate passage and institutes maybe an internal passport, in contradcition of the 'full faith and credit' provisions of the constitution.

You want to put sides of beef into an ICE office or outbuilding?

The checkpointmobile will be in your neighborhood for a random cavity search. Sanitize your random cavities, citizen!

Like "three strikes" incarcration-for-life, the vague discontent tht drives this kind of 'policy recommendation' is just a little bit... insane.

Nothing new, of course: Swift's "A Modest Proposal" was the progenitor of this genre.

Won't work. Sweden can't keep immigrants out either.
