There are tens of millions of white people closer to Mexico you could start with. I suggest emptying Texas first and working your way through the Deep South.

It would be easier to build the wall north of Texas.

Just putting it out there ...

Please send us your nation of legal residence so that we may schedule our invasion.  We will show you what is the greatest country!

I've never understood why Americans are so insecure about their national prestige and have a tendency to only think in terms of military might. It's a sign of a young culture.

The whole concept of greatest needs to be applied to something. Greatest military might? Sure, we'll give you that. Doesn't mean much when it ends up getting bogged down in wars that it cannot win and fights against enemy soldiers that may be less well equipped but are much more used to harsh conditions. Greatest place to live? There are plenty of other countries with higher quality of life. Greatest economy? Sure maybe, but how equal is the wealth divided? Greatest civilisation? Not if you judge it by how it treats its most vulnerable members of society and the bigotry and prejudice that gets given free reign.

It's like debating who is the best guitarist. You can't come up with an answer because you need to figure out how to qualify 'best' or 'greatest'.

So yes, nation of legal residence is Scotland. Are you going to invade now?

No. Thought not.

Don't forget the mine fields.

Or better yet, do forget them, after they've been placed.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

How come he was able to get an AK-47?  Oh, right.  Gun Nuts like you.


Black markets exist you know. If America became a "gun free country", criminals would still be able to get their hands on them. Same kinda shit happens over here in the UK.
