Another way to solve the illegal immigrant problem

[1903Collector]

George Carlin's Solution to Save Gasoline:

Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use. The best way to stop
using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That
would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would
come down. Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When
they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a
canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq. Tell him if he
wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military.
Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it. After
His tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended
this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal
patriot. This option will probably deter illegal immigration and
provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to
make a better life for themselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them
to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo. Problem solved.
If you think this is a good solution to both the problems, pass it around.
I just did.

I do like the idea/sentiments behind it though.

No... at least not yet.

The alleged "quote" reminds me of the Robin Williams one that was floating around the Internet a few years ago and occasionally still pops-up...

FWIW... I think Carlin is a comic genius.

Regardless of who wrote it I think it still is a great idea.
