I hate to give extra time to people whose fifteen minutes of fame should’ve ended a long time ago, but there are some whose viewpoints are unrealistic and way off the mark. Come on down “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher:
Wurzelbacher’s weak stab at Occam’s razor to solve the immigration problem is obviously far too simplified and problematic. How will a military already spread thin by conflicts abroad be amassed to commit to such a mass deportation? Not every undocumented immigrant has the same legal status so what criteria will be used to decide who stays and who leaves? Wouldn’t the costs of such an operation be exorbitant and how much money will be lost if the borders are closed?
I could go on and on, but why give attention to such a shortsighted perspective? Because such a view will become more popular as the issue of immigration reform continues to be ignored by the powers that be. As long as politicos keep burying their heads in the sand, insensible opinions like Wurzelbacher’s will sadly thrive.
