What is your view on this immigration crisis on the border?

[Cassius]

Well, in the short term, the key thing is obviously to strengthen the border. You know, build a wall with a succession of forts along the Texas/New Mexico/Arizona/California border. After all, it sort of worked for the Romans, and their illegals had horses and sharp, pointy objects. Think about it, the Texan section of said wall could be labeled 'Rick's Wall'.  But, that won't solve the problem in the long run, since it won't stop (although it might reduce the numbers a bit) a lot of kids from heading north. And no one wants to see piles of dead children next to a putative wall anyway, so, a long term solution is needed in that case.

Of course, the simplest thing would be to establish a succession of military juntas (with lots of aid from the United States of course) in these Central American countries, give them leave to suspend human rights on a temporary basis, and have them butcher as many of these gang members as is humanly possible. However, such a solution would not be well received by a number of people, so, and alternative might be for the United States to do the job of butchering these gangsters itself by sending in ground forces. Perhaps Central America should simply be divided up into a succession of districts administered by an American Viceroy, or some such post, in order to restore order in that particular arena. Once order is restored, migration levels will drop, and the problem will be solved. Who knows?
