The Urine Test

I have finally found a way to satisfy and resolve some of our tax issues as well as help ease the burden of our illegal immigration issue. It is simple. The Urine Test.

All persons requesting free medical aid, government subsidies, food, and all other "handouts" should be required to pass a simple urine test. No drugs or diseases- your okay and get in line. You got issues, well then partner find another way to get free stuff . Immigrants show up w/o proper documentation, test them. If they can pass the test, get them their short term needs, but detain them until the proper credentials are filled out. Simple easy and cheap. Testing can be done on the spot without expensive labs and can save the government money.

I got this idea this week, as I dealt with a job in Montgomery with the State. All employees of the state are subjected to random urine testing and will have their paycheck withheld for failure to comply with the test, and I found that there are restrictions, including termination, if one doesn't pass. What a great system. expand it and start the unemployed on the road back to being non drug dependent, and toward finding a job. The state could hire many of these people in the newly expanded business of manufacturing urine testing cups and equipment.

I am always looking for new and improved ways to help the less fortunate.

Reid, you're a regular humanitarian.

Well Reid, I guess you are happy about the Senate vote today. By the time the next bill comes around, there will be another 3-4 million illegal immigrants in the country. This bill was not perfect, but it was a step in the right direction.

Urinalyses is funny but what is your serious solution for the people who are already here and contributing to our society...massive deportation?

It is an extremely unfortunate position for this country to be in. We must make a decision and move somewhere on it quickly.

I guess that I must go back to the days of Teddy Roosevelt. His comments on immigration were on target and apt then as well as now. We need to find a way to Americanize all of our guests (legal and illegal). The true solution probably lies somewhere between the ideologies that are bein pushed. It sems a bit on the wacky side to expect deportation of all immigrants living here illegally, but at the same time something must be done to help ease the taxpayer burdens they are helping create. The only thing I think that is reasonable is to start with the criminals of the bunch and give them the heave-ho. Don't jail 'em, get rid of 'em. Cheaper and safer. Helps ease the already overcrowded prisons, and eliminates the riff-raff from the group. Next we look at ways to aid these illegals into becoming legal immigrants. Once that is done they will weed themselves out by the work theory. Those that work stay, those worthless drains on sociaety are sent home to be worthless drains on society elsewhere. Lastly, we do our best to streamline the immigration process, but at the same time we have strict guidelines that must be followed or expulsion is the answer. There must be one system and it must be simple and have little wiggle room. No grey areas. Black and white. Obey or good bye. Give these immigrants a time table to atain certain goals toward becoming a citizen and then stay on top of those in the process. If one falls short witih his allotted time he is allowed to laeve or we will escort himm from our property.

All we ever needed was John Wayne anyway. Unfortunately now we redside in a B movie . With Ted Kennedy, Hillary RC, George Bush, and there cohorts at the helm, we seem to sail always sail in cirles going nowhere fast but spending alot of money all along the way.

Well, well, that bit was rather Fascist in styling. I certainly hope for the sake of what freedoms we have left, this "grand" idea of yours doesn't come to fruition.
