And,they even tracked her calves to their individual stalls.. But they are unable to locate 125,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each illegal immigrant a cow." Of course the tracking was easy ... each moo had a yellow plakka tag crimped into each lug. These tags have unique ID numbers so that ALL moo movements and locations were logged. Clearly the round-up and subsequent barbie was a cinch to complete. Perhaps we can develop Merlin's suggestion a little further, rather than give each "illegal immigrant" a moo each, why not grab them and tag them in the same way. The cost of the tags versus the cost a moo each, coupled with the inflicting of lug pain during tag crimping would go down well in the Hallways of the Right. I suppose it'll save the cops (and other agents of the State) from demanding (in a German accent) ... "Your papers please!". They'd simply have to hold the person down and check the code number before hauling them off to gaol.
