A BOUNTY for each illegal turned in of say 100 dollars and everything the illegal owns would be a fine incentive. We need to denounce our enemies and those who employ them.
Report any companies you know employ illegals to the IRA and DHS at the same time and cc them so each will know the other has been informed.
The Berlin Wall kept millions of people from crossing a border, and so does the Korean DMZ. The Morice Line in Algeria was reasonably effective.
The WILL to close the US border is the problem, not the ability to post pickets and man it with modern systems. Give the job to the military, since this is defense against a demographic enemy and not police work.
I can shoot someone breaking into my house, and should damn well be able to shoot someone breaking into MY country. They have to CHOICE to stay home.
"If a portion of the money ($1 billion for 53 miles) was used to create jobs in Mexico, it would likely do far more to stop the tide."
That would go as well as the Iraq development funding. Mexico is a failed state, which is why the population is storming our borders.
A simple defensive MANNED line would work, and need not be densely manned. The Morice Line in Algeria was reasonably effective.
Just because an inept and corrupt (in the sense of buying expensive solutions from its "friends" in business) US government is seduced by technology doesn't mean that a high degree of border closure is not practical.
Border closure is national defense, should use military personnel and methods, and should be enforced by violence. This country belongs to its citizens, no one else should matter.
If we want a Welfare State as do most Slashdotters, we cannot afford to include outsiders or we will wreck our economy. Its a choice between us and them, so fuck them and let them overthrow their corrupt government. Mexico needs a revolution, a takeover by a dictator who can massacre the drug lords and impose order, then a gradual drawdown over decades. It needs a Mexican "Francisco Franco".
By the way, dear readers, ALL the current tech advantages we have cannot be presumed permanent.
Fiber flight control cables etc are much less vulnerable than copper wiring to EMP, and weigh less. Soon everyone will have UAVs and otherwise catch up with our current tech, and it is naive to think nation-state wars are over as it was to believe the League of Nations would bring peace to Europe.
The company doesn't deserve to live, so don't be helpful. Working extra hours can be compensated for by stretching the work to fill the time instead of doing more work.
There is no moral duty to stupid people. Fuck 'em.
Look for another gig and bail, or ride to the crash and collect unemployment if you don't have high overhead.
While the court must presume innocence, the rest of us have no such requirement. I have no moral obligation to pretend he didn't do what he did. I'm not in his fan club.
That, and they can all run at once. I run Epiphany (meh, but it's fast), Opera, Firefox (my main browser because of the add-ons), and Chrome on my Ubuntu box. Try em all. Disk space and memory are stoopid cheap.
I run a 32-bit kernel with PAE, and like the fact that limits Firefox runaway to only 4GB RAM.:)
Then go read the UCMJ and see for yourself. He continues to draw pay and allowances, BTW.
He knew the rules, broke them with premeditation, and can still luxuriate in comparatively cozy military confinement. I'd prefer that to a civilian jail any day.
Nonsense. Honesty in any generation is adorable in OTHER people, but doesn't confer a competitive advantage.
Our elite masters are rich and corrupt, our leaders are SELECTED for dishonesty because they must pander to a large spectrum of often-conflicting voter desires in order to be elected, and our co-workers are often corrupt ass-kissers who knob their way up the chain.
It's logical to avoid getting caught by being reasonably honest, that is all.
Corporations in charge of important personal data should choose security over convenience, should not use Windows, should not WANT to use Windows, and should lock down their systems.
IMO they should restrict uses to thin clients at the their brick-and-mortar locations. No laptops, no mobility, tough shit.
An institution that serves the military should have a military chain of command, give orders not requests, and crush anyone who doesn't obey them.

Why even make full CDs?
The CD is obsolete, so produce singles from one-hit-wonder bands and don't bother with filler, at all, ever.
You are competing for money. Either do what will pay best or leave for greener pastures.
...long term pain. This is epic stupidity.
"The rest of us still have some self-respect left."
We get properly drunk before lowering our standards!
"Probably for a fleshlight."
You HAD to go there! :)
"I like paying taxes. With them I buy civilization."
So why do you not give ALL your money for government redistribution, and advocate a government that owns all wealth in behalf of the people?

According to reliable slashfic he's quite attached to Robin.
Before slagging Singapore for taking measures to be orderly and prosperous, data from nearby countries for comparison is needed.
Given the history of toxic behaviors by humans when packed in large populations, adaptations to those conditions are worthy of study.

Freedom of choice includes the burden of making wise choices.

"Get the fuckers who arm the drug lords."
That would be the Mexican military and police. Stores in the US don't typically sell grenade launchers. :)
That's a logical benchmark.
