Alien venomous sea snakes, intent on doing us harm, [are crossing into California](http://ktla.com/2016/01/13/3rd-highly-venomous-yellow-bellied-sea-snake-washes-up-on-socal-beach/). What can be done about this? These serpents have no right to our vermin, much less our ankles. I am as open-minded as the next guy, but I think we should immediately stop allowing any reptiles at all into this country until we can find out WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! ---

We’re being attacked by venomous snakes? I say we build a snake-proof fence and make Australia pay for it. ---

These snakes are deadly. They have venom coming out of their eyes. They have venom coming out of their wherever. ---

I don’t see a problem. As long as they have the proper papers, and pass the security check. ---

As usual, California is on the leading edge—they have earthquakes, forest fires, mud slides, etc., etc. while we here in Florida have to settle for insane and evil Republican politicians, muddled old folks, alligators and the occasional hurricane. I wish we had some poisonous sea snakes; maybe they would bite a few of our politicians but sea snakes are probably too smart for that. ---

Maybe we can train sharks to eat the snake-stuffed bees? After they shoot them down with the lasers? ---
