Marg Baker (R-Idiot) Has The Solution To Our Immgration Problems!!

[Flummoxed Lummox]

You seriously cannot make this up. Marg Baker, who is running for a seat as a Republican in Florida's 48th District, has the solution to our immigration problems ... INTERNMENTCMPS!!! Yeah, that will do it.  

First, see Keith Olbermann (at about 1:36 into the clip):

Keith Olbermann: "Worst Person In The World" - 08/12/10

Or, read this:

In an interview with Salon today, a Republican candidate for the Florida state Legislature stood by her controversial idea to arrest illegal immigrants and send them to "camps" where they can be held en masse.

"We can ship them out to the middle of the country and put up high walls and leave them there," said Marg Baker, the middle-aged real estate broker vying for the Republican nomination in the state's 48th district, north of Tampa.

Baker was filmed advocating the camps idea at a local meeting of the 9-12 Project, Glenn Beck's activist group, earlier this month (watch the clip below). She told Salon today that she was upset at the way some had misinterpreted her comments. "They're trying to think I want to erect some sort of prison camps like over in Germany" -- which she is not, Baker said.

Asked if what she had in mind was more like the Japanese internment camps of the World War II era, Baker said, "something like that. But unfortunately in the Japanese camps they detaineed American citiziens. The only ones I want to detain are the ones who are illegal."

She added, "You've gotta have places for them to eat and sleep and breathe fresh air. It can be a tent city ... You don't want to make them too comfortable or they'll want to come back."

The AP reports that other Republican candidates for the seat have rejected the idea.

Baker's website lists five "reasons" not to tolerate illegal immigrants, including "prostitution."

Dear Buddha the extremist nuts are running the GOP. Yeah, let's round up 12 MILLION people, build walls around them, and leave them there (think Gitmo times infinity).     I'm not sure what is more appalling, Baker's inane "solution," or the fact that putative rational people actually take this imbecile seriously.

Yeah, I have a problem with this strategy...  It's NOT deportation.

Baker's plan doesn't account for the cost of keeping these folks up in the middle of the country.  That is the major problem we're facing right now with illegals.

Deportation, deportation, deportation.  Say it three times.  Got it.

Then you can orderly reorganize any worker's program you choose.  Have them get in line, apply and pay the fees.  Oh, I also forgot strictly regulate their numbers.  As Zed in Men in Black would say "We're not throwing an intergalactic kegger in here."

So Baker is a student of the greatest democrat(ic) president ever, Roosevelt?

This is a stupid idea. Why can't we just enforce CURRENT federal immigration laws? I wish a candidate would run on this idea. I would also be in favor of adding an addendum that states companies who hire/employ illegal labor will be fined a defined, BIG dollar amount for each day the illegal was used. Just think, illegals would scurry for their homeland and companies would stop the illegal practice. A win/win, simple as that.
