Funny but interesting email about how to save on gas.

[jsarno]

President Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use....


The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport the 11 million illegal immigrants!


That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down.....


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..... .


This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves.



....


If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo.....




Problem solved.....

well, that's already an option, but you get training and educational benefits, and no one in the military gets taxed in theatre... usually you get a lot of extra cash there (hostile fire, hazardous area, etc).

Wow...I know it is just an e-mail but it is so simple minded. There are holes to be poked aplenty.

Is it supposed to be a joke, or actually someone's serious idea?

Sometimes I don't think there's a difference between the two.

One man's political ideals are another man's joke.

Take Barack Obama for instance...

I keed, I keed!

LOL!!!! Good one! I seriously doubt there is any way we as citizens can deter the price of fuel besides voting for someone who's going to seriously work to get the prices down, or just walking to work...LOL!

It just reminds me of the South Park episode....."They're taking errrr jobs."

I think it's intent was a little of both.
It points at the serious issue of illegal immigrants, but uses some humor at how to handle it. I doubt it's meant to be taken extremely literally.
For all of you that live in areas with a massive amount of illegal aliens like I do, you might find it funny and serious at the same time.

Illegal immigrants cause problems, but they also provide society with a great number of benefits. Moreover, many of the problems associated with illegals (e.g., uninsured drivers, failure to pay taxes) can be cured by liberalizing immigration policies.

The Lou Dobbs of the world are making a killing by telling the public, "Our country is coming to an end because too many brownies are coming across our borders." We've seen losers like Dobbs throughout history. It's pretty pathetic IMO.
