George Carlin’s Solution to Save Gasoline

[via e-mail]

Note: I’ve received a couple of comments stating that this was not actually written by George Carlin. That said, I’m a little surprised. The fellow who sent it along is positively anal about researching the accuracy of this kind of thing before he sends it along. When I get some time, I’ll look into this further myself. I don’t rely on snopes.com to be the end-all of correctness. Sorry, guys.

Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use. The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down.

Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq. Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a soldier’s pay while he’s there and tax him on it.

After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot. This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo. Problem solved.
