Midday Open Thread: Getting Medieval On Immigration |
 |
So…what's worse than a huge, expensive wall on the border that doesn't actually work? What about a moat:
Faced with high-levels of crime and illegal immigration, authorities in Yuma are reaching back to a technique as old as a medieval castle to dig out a "security channel" on a crime-ridden stretch of the border and fill it with water.
"The moats that I've seen circled the castle and allowed you to protect yourself, and that's kind of what we're looking at here," said Yuma County Sheriff Ralph Ogden, who is backing the project.
I hope they fill it with alligators. And pour boiling oil on the immigrants trying to swim across. Perhaps the immigrants will bring their catapults and siege engines to the party.
Seriously folks, we're regressing. Torture and now this? Let's just reinstate rule by divine right and fuedalism and call it a day.
What's on your mind? This is an open thread.
I, and Alex T., still say corrupt politicians should be tarred and feathered.
