Too many illegals+not enough soldiers=......?
I hope it's the joint I smoked that made me haul out the tinfoil beanie and this is not the start of a fiendish plan.

I suddenly connected the above with the giant detention contract given to KBR in January.

"The contract -- announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR -- calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster."
http://news.newamericamedia.org/news/view_article.html?article_id=eed74d9d44c30493706fe03f4c9b3a77

Support the RAPID DEVELOPMENT of new programs! Does this mean they will pursue, capture and detain illegals? Offer the young men citizenship for themselves and their families if they sign up? Is this too twisted a thought?

Please tell me it's only cos I'm stoned.

3. That same thought crossed my mind
when I saw the demonstrations. I think they were getting the camps ready for that law they wanted to pass making felons out of not only illegals, but anyone who helped them

4. = making them an offer they can't refuse?
Yes, I could easily see this administration attempting to coerce illegal aliens into joining the next wave of cannon fodder for its war without end.

5. Hadn't thought of that. Especially since * is the pres who made
a law that traded military service for citizenship.

6. I've wondered the same thing.
It would work out pretty well for Bushco. They could have their wars without a draft and most of America wouldn't care so much about immigrants getting killed.

7. Just like the Irish during the Civil War.........
as soon as they got off the boats they were pressed into service for the Union Army. They were handed rifles and sworn to defend the Union. A great many immigrants died without ever unpacking their belongings. I can see the same thing happening here. I'm sure they'll be heavily recruited at best. An extra 2 weeks in boot camp to "learn" English and off they go, defending their new homeland.
