Who likes this liberal solution?

Two Proposals Worth Considering...

#1 New Gas Plan- Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use. The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would have to come down as a result.

#2 New Immigration Plan-Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq . Tell him if he wants to come to America , then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it. After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot.

Update:

This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq , and the immigrants trying to make a better life forthemselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo.

Problem solved.

Update 2:

There seems to be some confusion here, seems many people do not understand the difference between liberal and conservative concepts!

Update 3:

it is in a conservative adgenda to keep illegals here! reasoning> more cheap labor!

Update 4:

this does get rid of the illegals, they would not be with our present military (at least not till the serve their duty) and military service is still a way to earn citizenship!

    Only problem is, thats NOT liberal! Libs want to feed, house and give medical care to the wetbacks off the US taxpayer dime, not deport them

    Once upon a time, serving in the US military was a bona fide way of earning your American citizenship.

    I do not agree, however, that deporting 11,000,000 people is the best thing to do. It would cost billions of dollars to simply hunt them down and prosecute them before an immigration court, not to mention housing them in holding cells, and then eventually paying their ticket back to where their native land may be. That is not cost effective. It is sound, though, to increase our border defense and toughen future illegal immigration legislation. We should integrate the current illegal immigrants into our system, through amnesty, and make them part of our country.

    What should have been done yesterday can only be solved tomorrow.

    I'm a "liberal" AMERICAN if I must be categorized. I wouldn't trust a military that was made up of forced foreigners would you? They could easily do harm to our troops from the inside. There would be no brotherhood there. I think that anyone who breaks the law by crossing our border without going through our immigration process should be shot on site. Why do invaders have to wear a uniform to be considered invaders? Just because they quietly slip across our border does not mean we aren't being invaded and occupied by a foreign country.

    Feed them? House them? I don't think so. And while we're stereotyping, leave it to an ignorant republican to assume that liberals would want that.

    Let's simplify your immigration plan, one way ticket, no pay, no tax, no canteen, no gun, no ammo. Instead, give them a shovel, a broom, a hammer and saw.

    I don't really think this is a good idea, but it is an improvement on yours.

    But seriously, we should have a recruiting station at our boarder crossings. All applicants could be fingerprinted, photographed, etc. Successful applicants who serve honorably should be given a clear path to citizenship.

    People who knock at my door are always more welcome than those who try to crawl through the window.

    The biggest problem with your "liberal solution" is that liberals would oppose it.
