They really seemed like nice people. Raising families, going to George Washington
University, making sexy YouTube videos… who could ask for more from a citizen? So what if they had this problem of being “seeded” here as sleeper spies? We have American citizens building dirty bombs, underwear bombs, shoe bombs, not to mention the wild assortment of criminals, abusers, tax dodgers, and college board cheats. What’s so bad about a few harmless (and ineffectual) spies added into the mix?
I would much prefer those happy-family spies to the Wall Street monsters who almost brought America down every time. I would much prefer a beguiling young female hoping to get a little attention on YouTube to the dirty lobbyists work to subvert every piece of reforming legislation … not to mention the politicians who cynically accept their funds and say that they could NEVER be influenced to do something harmful to their constituents. Really? Some would say that most of them could never be influenced to do something GOOD for their constituents.
It would much better to have the Russian spies back and send the big franchise
carmanufacturers who, in almost 100 years of building cars, have never been able to build a production car the gets over 50 miles per gallon, when back in the 1920′s there were independent cars easily getting that and better.
Russian spies would never pass a law discriminating against foreign residents who are just walking down the street like the Arizona legislature just passed and the Governor just signed. It could be used against them.
Russian spies would never drive drunk as do the 1.5 million Americans who arrested every year (not to mention the carnage these DUIs perpetrate). The Russian spies would never take a chance like that. It would against all of their training.
And, what’s worse? The U.S. just detained a 12th person in the spy case. This one is 23-years-old and (good news) he’s too late for the swap.
So, let’s make a different swap. The Russian spies come back and resume their cover careers, college educations, and make some more YouTube videos and we send all the really, really bad people off in their place. Assuming the Russians would take them.
It could be a little lonely here in America after that swap.
