Latest Immigration News: Group Calls For Border Obstacle Course To Determine Immigration Status

A new group, known as the Border Obstacle Course Proposal Committee, has unveiled a radical idea to deal with illegal immigration from Mexico into the United States. The group says the United States should build an obstacle course that would allow immigrants to demonstrate their worthiness to become U.S. citizens.

The proposal, known as the Border Obstacle Proposal says that a 2,000 mile border obstacle course should be built on the border of Mexico and the United States in order to both lessen the impact of illegal immigration as well as make the system more efficient.

The proposal calls for immigrants to be put to the test with a series of grueling challenges. If they make it through to the other side of the border, they get in, simple as that. The advantage for immigrants is that they would no longer have to pay expensive "coyotes" to transfer them to the United States and they wouldn't have to go through a lengthy process to become citizens.

As for the immigrants who cannot successfully complete the Border Obstacle Course, they will not become citizens. According to the Committee, this would ensure that only the best and brightest immigrants become citizens, ensuring that the American workforce remains vibrant by only having the best available workers.

It certainly is the most radical immigration proposal ever.
