So at work I noticed that some of the main power transformers were being invaded by fire ants.I know this can be a big problem, so I had to report it, specially since these power transformers feed our data center and a couple other main buildings.Facilities said they can't schedule a power outage until Nov. But they went ahead and poisoned the fire ants to stop them before more problems were created. They will clean the rest of the nest out when they have their outage.The immigration problem is like this.All this talk about amnesty or no amnesty seems to be the politicians way of distracting us from the main issue. If you don't stop the fire ants today, there could be even more problems later. If the fire ants are cleaned out later, but not stopped, they will just populate the power transformers once again.So stop them now, worry about the clean-up later when it can be done. See how they are just crossing the border at will. Making a home in the power transformer.They are even using more than one spot, I guess to make sure they can make it across safely. 4951

@FoFa, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. 4951

@FoFa: I bet those dam fire ants did not learn electrical either.

@FullMoon:
 
So sorry I was speaking above your intelligence level. So I guess you do not think we should secure the border before moving on to other things, just like the fire ants. I'll try not to speak past a 2nd grade level in the future.
Once again, I apologize for making you feel small and not understanding.

No, Slick, it's just that your "analogy" makes zero sense. You see for these things to make sense, there must be context. Comparing immigration to an ant bed or a mosquito in your house is probably a teeeeeeeeeny bit of an over-simplification, eh? Sorry that you've been thinking about that one for a couple of days and you thought it was profound, but it's trash.I must admit, I've read posts on this site for over a year now...many dumb ones...and your post is the first one that has actually been bad enough to entice me to actually sign up and reply. My God.."If we don't _____, then that could lead to bad things in the future." Groundbreaking insight!! Thank God your work's yard guy fell asleep on the job for our education's sake!  Just...wow. Great job, Nietzsche... 4951

@FoFaWow. I saw no problem in this post. Makes perfect sense with America these days.Person sees problem.Person reports problem.Problem gets muted to a more convenient time.Problem really becomes a problem.....Discussions on how to handle problem.Problem eventually ****s everything up in the end. Emoticonoison & prevention (big friggin border fences and stricter immigration) will keep the unwanted away. Doesn't Lowe's or Home Depot have a special going on? Emoticon.S. @FullMoon  It does make perfect sense when you really look into it. Also, if you really want to see how big a fire ant hill can be..check out this video. This just might show you how BIG the problem can be. Emoticon

@FullMoon:
 
Wow, so you've been trolling the site for a year and the first thing you do as a contributor is to bash someone else. Gee, we're just so happy you decided to grace us with your presence! If this is how you introduce yourself, perhaps you would do better to just continuing trolling?
 
Perhaps you think this is an over-simplification of a huge issue, but I would argue that perhaps our politicians and media are trying to overly complicate the issue. Most other countries take people sneaking across their borders very seriously, why shouldn't we? We could debate the why's and how's and the what if's until the cows come home, but it doesn't solve anything. So how about we do what desperately needs to be done now (secure the borders), and then try to figure out what to do with the illegals who are already here. What is so difficult about that? At least by securing our borders you stop adding to the problem. It's a whole lot easiers to deal with 12 million illegals than 20 or 30 million.

When it comes to fire ants I pour boiling water on the hill.
Just inside the hole right at the barriers of the hill is the eggs. Incubating in the warmth of the warm dirt.
 
The reaction is any surviving ants get to work getting the dead out. Eggs and ants are piled in a heap in a dumping ground outside the fire ant hill.
 
I'll be boiling some in a bit. I'll show you the pics.
 
Btw there are 5 hills. Each roughly 3 feet apart straight up the yard perfectly in a row. 4951
