Someone asked me what I think should be done

to stop illegal immigration and I replied that creating a 100 yard free fire zone at the border would certainly do the trick.

If you want to look at the Big Picture it is probably the kindest solution to the illegal immigrant situation.

The process is simple, really. You simply announce that as of such and such a date and time anyone found in the zone will be shot.

Of course there will be a few hardy souls that will test the waters and will find themselves waking up in a casket but in the big picture that's a small price to pay.

First of all, such a move will stop illegals from entering the country illegally. This will save us billions. It will also reduce narcotics, human trafficking and make it harder for terrorists and gang bangers to enter the country.

Now lets look at the humanitarian side of things. What will it do for those people south of the border.

First of all they will stop coming right now. 

They will stop being used as drug mules. They will not get sucked into human trafficking schemes. The coyotes that rob and cheat these people along the way will have to simply have to find another line of work.

President Trump said in his address that one in three women passing through Mexico en route to the States are sexually assaulted. Other sources say it is closer to twice that. This will stop simply because the Central and South Americans will stay out of Mexico. They will not even attempt to enter the States. This will also make life a lot easier for Mexico.

Over the years I have posted that the best way to remove a band aid is to simply give the damned thing a yank and get it done and over with. I have also said that the best way to deal with a hostage situation is to simply shoot the hostage.

What I actually mean by shoot the hostage is to simply ignore the threats of the hostage taker and simply go in and take him out regardless of what happens to the hapless soul that has had the misfortune to be used as a bargaining chip. 

The Russians do this as a matter of course. The key end result is that hostage situations in Russia are very rare and as a result if you look at the Big Picture lives are saved. You don't hear of hostage situations in Russia very often because it never works for the hostage takers. The Russians charge in and deal with it, hostages or not. They simply refuse to deal with these criminals and terrorists.

I read a while ago where a couple of Russian policemen attended some sort of police seminar in this country. The subject of car chases was brought up and the Russian officers looked confused. They said that car chases never happen in Russia.

The instructor asked why chases never occur in Russia and one of the Russian officers spoke up. "Have RPG in car," he said in the simple Russian version of English. His tone of voice carried contempt for the American system of letting things slide. We too often let these people get away with it, fearful of collateral damage.

In short car chases don't occur very often in Russia because the Russians simply do not tolerate it.  

Of course, we Americans would go stark staring bonkers if the powers that be tried declaring the border a free fire zone. Amnesty International would go wild demanding heads of the government officials that ordered it.

Much of this is probably out and out hate for Trump.  A lot more is because the Democrats want illegals into the country so they can illegally vote which is utter crap. A lot of Republicans want them in here as a source of cheap labor. More crap.

Let's face it, our elected officials talk a lot but very few of them give a damn about honestly trying to save the country from collapsing nor do they care a whit about the human suffering. An awful lot of our uncaring and/or unthinking congress critters should probably be tarred and feathered.
