Okay, so first things first. I got a new job, and that is cause for celebration. As such, the Dirty Viking and I split a large bottle of Jagermeister (best alcohol ever) in celebration. And, as the inebriated have a tendency to do, we got to talking. We covered a wide variety of subjects, up to and including our shared fondness of Polynesian women (Asian features + Latin curves= Good Times!) , when we came to the issue of immigration, yet again. The D.V. and I both believe in immigration reform, and we have both worked side-by-side with Mexican laborers, so we have a greater appreciation for what they do than most people. Anyhoo, we were discussing less beauracratic ways for people to gain citizenship, when we hit upon a novel concept: Let them serve in the military to earn their citizenship! Form a separate force of troops composed of foreigners wishing to earn citizenship, without taking the usual route. In the Roman Empire, barbarian peoples served in the
auxilia, or reserves, for twenty years, then were rewarded for their services by being made citizens of the empire. The way I figure it, we could create a rather sizeable force of soldiers by offering immigrants citzenship in exchange for military service. They would be earning the right to become citizens, plus, the draft would become a pointless concept, since the need for more troops could be filled by more potential citizens. The way I see it, it's a win-win situation. And while serving in the military, part of their training would be learning English throughout their service time, so when they are released, they are relatively fluent in the native language. This idea is directed more towards men and women from Latin countries, but it could just as easily apply to any other groups that are interested. Additionally, we should recruit soldiers from Afghanistan and Iraq to serve in specialized units, like the British did with Nepalese Gurkhas. It's a strange thought, I know, but it does merit consideration. Instead of making enemies out of these groups, we should make them allies and friends. It could work, it would just take time. Unfortunately, it will probably never work, because the American public has all the attention span of a retarded fruit fly. If it takes more than ten years to accomplish, we aren't interested.
Hijo de la chingada! Schiesse! Putan pe'ei! And your mothers ass! Dammit. I'm a misunderstood genius and/or sex bomb. Ah, well.
In'sha'allah.Salaam Aleykum, Bitches!
