This is a clearing house for good ideas.\u00a0 For example, why not charge for immigration<\/strong><\/em>?\u00a0 We have citizenship and residency that we can sell<\/strong>, and in the mean time Mexican coyotes and human smugglers are cleaning up getting money that could go to the public. We can make money on our borders instead of spending billions on walls and police actions against our neighbors.\u00a0 If someone is here illegally let them pay a fine or leave, their choice<\/strong>.\u00a0 If you don’t know about our present immigration law, well, shame on you.\u00a0 Everyone knows the system is broken and will not be fixed by deporting 11 million people.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prohibit tax dollars to be used to educate the public.\u00a0 Ban\u00a0Public Service Announcements paid by taxpayers.<\/strong>\u00a0 If the law is so stupid that people don’t know\u00a0what is or is not\u00a0illegal, and a sign isn’t good enough, then simplify or repeal the damn law.\u00a0 Let our Justice System work.\u00a0 We should defend against stupid law by the simple fact that they are stupid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We all distrust all our politicians and we do not doubt there are thousands of laws that are just stupid and never can be or should be enforced.\u00a0 Repeal all laws that have not been invoked in\u00a0 the last three years<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 We all know about stupid laws that only serve to make tax payers pay more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And why not make money on drugs like we do with alcohol and gambling?\u00a0 Tax drugs<\/strong>.\u00a0 And prostitution is the silliest thing to regulate.\u00a0 We are free to have sex with whomever we want so long as no money changes hands.\u00a0 Regulating, sanctioning and making sex difficult is a good thing.\u00a0 But does anyone think that making a law against sex will stop sex?\u00a0 We should not\u00a0legislate against the\u00a0 impossible.\u00a0 We won’t stop immigration, sex, drugs or gambling but we try and spend lots of money trying.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Instead of thinking we can stop a thing by making it\u00a0illegal instead tax it, regulate it, make people think twice about it, but prohibiting it is just stupid.\u00a0 Like we want to slow down the generation of greenhouse gasses, so we talk about taxing those who use them.\u00a0 It is a good idea, but not popular because we all want to burn fuels in\u00a0our automobiles, stoves, refrigerators, air conditioners…\u00a0 We cannot and should not prohibit green house gasses.\u00a0 And the approach we use to keep them down should be the same approach we use to curb sex, drugs, immigration, and gambling.\u00a0 Let’s top fooling ourselves into thinking we don’t have prostitution, gambling, drugs or people crossing our borders.\u00a0 Let’s stop deluding ourselves that we can stop those things.\u00a0 The best way to handle it is to slow it, to regulate, to tax it, to help those who get in trouble with sex, drugs, gambling and immigration\u00a0with the money from those who can pay for sex, drugs, gamgling and immigration.<\/p>\n

How long is our border fence now?\u00a0 The border is nearly 2000 miles.\u00a0 The Berlin Wall was about 87 miles.\u00a0 The Great Wall of China is over 5000 miles long, but was begun in 223 BC and took nearly 2000 years to complete.\u00a0 Although it had its uses in history it is now a useless, though marvelous, relic.\u00a0 People on both sides of the wall are in the same nation.\u00a0 We have militarized a peaceful border using tax dollars that are not designated for the military.\u00a0 How is Homeland Security not Military?\u00a0 Only in politics.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So why do we think it is a good idea to militarize our border with Mexico?\u00a0 Because people might cross it illegally.\u00a0 Ha.\u00a0 You probably think you can stop drugs, sex, gambling and rap music as well.<\/p>\n
