Solving the Illegal Alien Problem

We’re talking hundreds of thousands of troops/guards here with an enormous cost to the government. Not something that we really want to consider in my opinion.

The Ultimate Solution

That brings us to the third and only real solution to stopping illegal aliens from sneaking into our country. And that ultimate solution is simple — shorten the borders. Instead of protecting 6,635 miles, how about we just worry about 225 miles? [Again, I'm rounding things off, so don't get down on me for being twenty-six point three inches off in my estimate.]

First, we bring Guatemala into the union as the 51st state. Being surrounded, Mexico’s individual states will then join us as our 52nd through 82nd states. Finally, we bring in Canada’s 10 provinces and 3 territories as the 83rd through 95th states making us the United States of North America, consisting of 95 states. Our only international border is between our state of Guatemala and the Central American nation of Honduras.

Just for the heck of it let’s cut a new canal connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans — we already gave away the Panama Canal and, as the largest country in the world, we really should have our own. Yes, it’s almost ten times as long as the Panama Canal, but with our modern technology, it should only take a few years to do it. The bonus is that the canal will provide a very positive border that can be monitored with only cameras. At 225 miles, that’s 1,188,000 feet and should need only 1,980 cameras at, once again $800 each, for a total of $1,584,000 plus installation and wiring. There will be the same need for monitoring stations with the associated increase in budget for DHS. A benefit, though, is we won’t need the seismic monitors because there is no way someone will dig underneath it.

And that’s all it will take. Think of the obvious benefits. We can now control our one little border very easily. The democrats in congress will be in heaven as we’ll have a hundred and thirty some million new citizens that congress can tax. Of those there will probably be close to a hundred million that will need health care, social security, and welfare — again, something on which democrats love to spend our tax dollars.
