Muchas Gracias El Presidente!

Our good buddy Vickie has finally stepped up to the plate in the fight for illegal immigration. El Presidente Fox is poised to sign a bill that would legalize the possession of virtually every recreational drug in Mexico. This can only help in the battle for the border. Bear with me.

When this becomes law, it will be an immediate boon to the Mexican economy. Long haired hippies from the world over (excluding the Netherlands) will now flock to Mexico for their "Drug Vacations." I predict that an entire cottage industry of drug resorts will soon pop up all over Mexico. Scenery is not important as long as there is a steady supply of narcotics and hallucinogens to keep the tourists happy. There is the small detail that the penalties for selling drugs are stiffened in the bill, but that should only serve to enrich the bank accounts of the federales.

Secondly, the improved economy will make it more desirable for Mexicans to stay in Mexico. Maybe now they can send their earnings to relatives in the US and supplement our economy. Our government could even provide tax breaks for the transfer of funds as long as the transfers were recorded as income. The resultant dollars (pesos?) would eventually reduce the welfare rolls and we could collect taxes on the American citizens as income. I see it as a win/win deal.

Lastly, maybe now, this will cause our government to get serious about securing our southern border. Hopefully, serious discussion will now begin on constructing a meaningful wall to more effectively discourage illegal immigration. In the interim, go south hippie boy, go south!

Iran is Feeling Froggy (I don't mean French either)

Iran warned the world today that it would obliterate Israel if the US did anything evil. This just begs for the Dirty Harry response, "Go ahead, make my day." I know that Ronald (The Great One) Reagan said it too but he was quoting the movie. I started wondering what would happen if we put a carrier battle group in the Persian Gulf (if there isn't one there now) and then started doing things to taunt Iran. What sort of evil would it take? Here are some ideas.

10. We have our crack scientists develop a chemical that could be sprayed onto prayer rugs which would permanently infect them with static electricity. Every time the Iranian leaders would pray, their hair would stand on end for hours at a time.

9. We have teams go around the world and tear all of the "Don't remove this tag" tags off of all of the mattresses in the world.

8. Declare all Mexican citizens to be American citizens - taking away their ability to emigrate. Mexico would become the 51st state.

7. Have super secret agents infiltrate the turban material making factories and treat all of the material for turbans with Nair.

6. Send each Iranian citizen a slinky and remind them that some people are like slinkies. They aren't worth much but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

5. We send Ted Kennedy over as a special advisor on driving at night.

4. Send Nancy Pelosi over to stare at them. And smile.

3. Hijack all of their broadcast TV signals and show reruns of Barney.

2. Surround their government buildings with bagpipers.

1. Send Al Gore over to help with their public relations.

Criminals

Okay, it's time to set some things straight. By definition, ILLEGAL immigrants have broken the law. I know that our country is great, that we have opportunities for prosperity that they may never realize in their home country, but their actions are criminal. I do not equate the crime of illegal entry into America with murder but it is a crime.

Yes, many perform jobs that Americans would not do for the same pay. But I do not buy the argument that these jobs would go unfilled. The market would adjust and new employees would be found. It would be painful at first, but it would eventually even out.

What should we do with the illegal persons here now? It's my instinct to pack them up and send all of them back to Mexico to start over. But I don't think that this is the best solution. If they can get a bona fide US citizen to sponsor them, they should be granted a temporary work visa under certain conditions. First, sponsorship should require that the sponsor verify that the head of household has been in this country continuously for a minimum of two years. I think that the head of the household should be able to bring his immediate family. That person should have verifiable employment for the time that they were in the country illegally. Provisions could be made for brief (60 days or less) periods of unemployment during job changes but no more than 60 days in a calendar year. A sponsor should also affirm that the person will be employed for the duration of the visa. If at any time the person is unemployed for more than 60 days in a calendar year, they should be deported with all dependents. Furthermore, a 10% levy should be placed on the worker's pay until $2,500.00 has been collected for each dependent.

Anyone not able to acquire a sponsor or who has been here less than two years should immediately be deported, with their dependents. If at the end of two years, they wish to apply for citizenship, they must pass an english proficiency exam, the normal citizenship test, and agree to be exempt from public assistance for five years. It's just an idea.

First Post

This is the inaugral post to the Neo Con Eagles Wings blog. I will speak about whatever interests me or anything that I find interesting. I tend to be sarcastic and I love satire. Don't necessarily take everything here at face value. Do have a sense of humor. Welcome and here we go.
