Round up all the illegals and promise them citizenship in exchange for service in the military. Then invade Mexico using the same exit strategy we used in Iraq.

Or, you could, you know, just open your labour markets both ways, because that is what this would accomplish. You'd save yourself a war, and this "rounding up to shuttle into bureaucracy" thing.

They must not have met.

Nooblets, DCD. DCD, nooblets. Don't take anything the other says seriously.

Other than that, sounds like a good idea to me.

I went to a bar in Tijuana once.

They had WMDs real cheap.

I seriously don't think that would work very well unless we told them that Chuck Norris would roundhouse kick them out of the U.S.

I get the feeling most Mexican immigrants would rather continue mowing lawns for rich Californians, than trade their fugitive status for a tour of Iraq.

We don't send them to Iraq, we send them to invade Mexico. That's the beauty of this plan.

Well, the pay for mowing the lawns is probably better. No free food and clothing though. No 30 days paid vacation a year, or 20 year retirement. All in all, I would say it would be a coin toss. :eek:

But there is no sharing of urinals or rapings in the arse if you mow the lawns.

...wait, I'm thinking of prison. Nevermind.

Militarism and Racism. Great, that's what we need more of in our world.

The young fit adrenaline junkies would probably go for it. After all, the French Foreign Legion is the same deal, and they turn away 8 out of 9 applicants at the selection centre. There's always takers.

But most illegal immigrants would sooner risk deportation rather than war, either because they know they are not fit for militry service, or because their priority is looking after their family, not obtaining citizenship.

At least they won't have problems learning the local language.

Why is it that I get accused of racism so often lately? I'm just kidding here.

You should be careful...there are so many trolls around, that it's hard to tell the difference between humour and sincerity.

Cool. Then annex Mexico. That way the immigrants won't be illegal anymore.:p

I think this is a cool idea. That way in about 50 years, half the countries would become a state of America.:eek:

The US already offers a fast track to citizenship in exchange for military service.

http://immigration.about.com/od/uscitizenshiprequirements/i/MilitCitizenIss.htm

There are 60,000 immigrants in the U.S. military. They represent two percent of the total service personnel on active duty. About half are noncitizens, with 15,880 in the navy; of those, 5,046 are from the Philippines. More than 6,000 Marines are noncitizens, with the largest group, 1,452, from Mexico.

In 2004, President Bush signed an order allowing all active-duty immigrants serving as of Sept. 11, 2001, to apply for U.S. citizenship without waiting the usual three years, and without having to be physically present in the States in order to apply. Now, immigrants serving in the army, navy, marine corps, air force, coast guard, parts of the national guard and Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve may be eligible to apply for citizenship if they can 1) Demonstrate good moral character/have no criminal record, 2) can speak English, 3) can demonstrate knowledge of U.S. government and history, and take an oath of allegiance to the U.S. Constitution. The applicant must also have served honorably during one year of conflict, have a green card, or have been present in the U.S. at time of enlistment. The application must be filed within six months of discharge.

It's not racism if you do it to the Canadian immigrants too.

Dan Goldwater in Arizona has a better idea: round 'em all up, put 'em in work camps and make them build the border fence.

BTW: don't apologize, Dan!

Actually, it's not a great comment on one's biography. You offer people EU citizenship and a new identity in return for five years of mercenary work, you attract a very specific set of applicants. Currently, the largest contingent is Russian / East European ex-military and former mafia. Most people not sympathetic to the ideal behind it, would view it in the same light as time spent in prison.

Much like Rome did with the slaves(Except for the exit strategy part).
