There are a shit-load (official unit of southern measurement) of proposals on how to stem the tide of illegal aliens flooding across our borders. One of the latest is to abolish the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution or at the very least amending the amendment. Abolishment isn't such a good idea because there are five sections to this amendment and only Section 1 could be applicable to illegal immigration. That's the section that deals with the "baby dropping" issue.
The Right Reverend Billy Bob of Billy Bob's Baptist Beer Emporium (see: Religious Hypocrisy: Christians v. Muslims) suggested bringing all of our troops home (I agree with this part, period) and lining them up along our borders and shooting anybody who tries to cross without proper documentation. The good Reverend did clarify that we would have to be more careful along the Canadian border since a lot of them look a lot like us.
I don't envision Reverend Billy Bob's suggestion to be a viable one since world opinion would more than likely turn against us. To which the Right Reverend replied, "The Holy Bible specifically states in there somewheres that God has anointed us patriotic Americans as His chosen people, so screw world opinion."
Be that as it may, since there are patriotic Americans amongst us who want to muck around with the Constitution why has no one looked at the 13th Amendment? Abolish or re-word that one and I think our illegal alien problem would be solved. What's the 13th Amendment you may ask? Well, look it up. All patriotic Americans have a copy of the Constitution. They must have because one or the other of them regularly screams "Read the Constitution!" at any and all who suggests that they are idiots.
The bottom line: Without that annoying 13th Amendment, an illegal alien caught crossing the border could become indentured for life. There you have it...a solution to illegal border crossings and, as a bonus, free manual labor.
What really scares the bejesus out of me is the Palins, Becks and Limbaughs of this country who insist that we need to second guess the founding fathers and Bible-ize the Constitution would probably think this is a grand idea.
I think I need a beer and a couple of aspirins.
You need more than a beer and an aspirin. LOL.
