Why should the Minutemice be treated with anything other than disdain? I don’t see you objecting when a Republican like Bush requires people to sign a loyalty oath to their campaign to come into the same hall.
Shit, for $5 a box you can get an awful lot of BBs. Throw handfuls of them all along the border. Not only will it stop illegal entry, the videos of the slipping and falling will be hilarious!
Now, since this will be just as effective at preventing illegal entry as a wall (chain-link, great, or otherwise), I demand that I be taken seriously.
I DEMAND TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!
We should all stop for a moment and reflect on how utterly and amazingly stupid and uninformed Clothahump is.

Okay? Everyone done? Good, you may now resume the thread.
A study by an anti-immigration organization finds that illegal immigration costs money? Shocking!

So if we took everyone on unemployment and had them link arms, we could create a human fence along the southern border?
Red Rover, Red Rover, let Luis come over!
Yes but without the benefit of all that cheap labor.
I don’t know a lot of people that are championing illegal immigration and the econmic impact of illegal immigration is real and significant. as a quick aside, 2010 was the first year when more than half of US households received more in direct payments than they paid in taxes. Now a lot of these are retireees whor eceive social security and medicare but the point remains. This obviously doesn’t argue for adding more illegal aliens to the mix but its something to think about before we protray this cheap labor as parasites on society.
IIRC, its $5/foot because most of the 5 miles of fencings was paid for by the folks that owned the land along the border.
Well fencing does work in diverting illegal crossing to places where there isn’t any fencing. So the answer to that has been “lets fence the entire border” Well that’s where the ladder comes in. Unless you are ready to patrol the entire border, the fence just slows down an individual illegal immigrant, it doesn’t slow down illegal immigration. The only places i know whereh they are able to maintain border integrity with any success is places like the Berlin Wall, North Korea’s northern border with China, the wall around Gaza, the Jewish ghettos, etc. You have to be willing to shoot to kill to deter people from moving cross an imaginary line in the middle of the desert that separates you from the American dream.
Well, we could cut costs on that wall if we got some cheap labor to build it.
Mine too. Plus, we have a very diverse population, with the biggest Afghan population in the US - and some awesome groceries.
This thread would inspire me to donate money to his campaign, except he doesn’t need it. Minutemen are vigilante scum, so no problem there. Making fun of these buffoons is awesome. Too bad some the more polite congressmen didn’t do this kind of stuff to the teabaggers accusing Obama of being socialist and other such shite.
All this and he’s an atheist also. 
I see what you did there.
Contrary to popular belief, the dictionary is not the be-all, end-all of proper English.

It’s not our fault that fucktards misuse the language in pursuit of denigrating an entire class (and let’s face it, race) of people.
There are no trigger-happy yahoos. Stark was just being an asshole with his brain-damaged comments about the Minutemen.
And what does it matter where my ancestors came from? We’re talking about here and now, not 400 years ago.
No, actually, Lobo, you should all stop for a moment and kiss my ass.
I posted a thread about Stark acting like an idiot. It happened. There’s no denying it - he was stupid enough to do it and be videoed while he did it. And I was stupid enough to think that there still might be a few non-brain damaged people left here on the Dope. Boy, was I ever wrong about that, and I’ll freely admit it.
Vigilante groups are that pretty much by definition.
It matters in terms of demonstrating your actual understanding of American values (remember those?). Unfortunately, you have proven that to be as minimal as your understanding of the facts of American history. It might help if you’d turn Hannity off once in a while.
Present the rump. Then based on my assessment of its kissability, I will render my verdict.
Well, in a battle of wits between you and Stark, I’ll take Stark and give you three to one odds.
