[extropy-chat] Nuke the Great Satan

[Samantha Atkins]

crossing a border illegally = murder?  If we kept all illegal aliens  
out the economies of several states would probably be threatened.  A  
lot of cheap onsite labor would no longer be available.   Would it be  
better to regularize the process?  Sure.   But shooting people isn't  
the way to get there.
