Let’s say, just for the sake of argument, that we fulfilled the conservative fantasy of erecting a twenty-foot wall on the entirety of our 2,000 mile border with Mexico. And let’s stipulate that we’d create a moat on our side of the wall and fill it with non-indigenous alligators imported from Florida, as presidential candidate Herman Cain advocates. Supposing that this project succeeded is stemming the flow of Latino immigrants, what would conservatives turn their attention to next?
Yeah, it’s a bit absurd to see a black man talking to a group of white Iowan Republicans about keeping the country racially pure.
Hmmm… maybe they’d revert to railing against the Irish and Italians? If the conservative movement really wants turn this country back to the pre-New Deal status quo, they ought to at least be authentic about it.
It a jobs program…
Think of the numbers of brick layers that would be required. And when built, the market for alligator technicians would explode…
They could claim they created a jobs program like they promised…
Then they could devote their attention full time to the destruction of both Medicare and Social Securtiy.
and they could redefine rape so that statutory rape don’t count.
Am I incorrect in assuming that this moat would need to be constantly fed by the Colorado and Red Rivers? Doesn’t that create more desert and less irrigation? How does Mr Cain propose placating all those angry “Lone Star State” republican fisherman whose Mexican border bass lakes are either dry or full of Florida alligators? How does a tropical “gator” survive in an armadillo environment? Can the folks in Arizona get a 30 foot high wall, just in case? Can California dig a 500 foot deep trench for the moat to make tunneling prohibitively expensive? Have Tea Partiers and other tin hatters even considered that Muslims have been training Chicano alligator whisperers since Obama’s Kenyan birth in Indonesia? Inquiring minds want to know. Herman Cain followers want to pet the alligators. 🙂
Tossing non-English speakers into the moat?
he’s a clown.
straight up clown.
he’s stupid and an idiot, and if a Black Democrat said 10% of the shyt he said, folks would be laughing like they should be at Cain.
he’s a fucking clown.
