Thread: Letters To The NCT : A WIN-WIN SITUATION

LETTERS: NCT, Sept. 1, 2010

A win-win solution

Everyone, everywhere is talking about the problems we are having in this country lately — illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida, just to name a few. A lot of talk, but nothing changes.

I have a solution for all of the above, and it's a win-win situation:

-- Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.

-- Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levees.

-- Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.

-- Use prisoners to do the work — don't have to pay them because they already get free room and board.

This makes all the sense in the world to me. Why can't the "bigwigs," the ones in charge, see this?

Wilma, I am afraid you simply do not understand how the US government and our society deal with problems. While your suggestion sounds almost reasonable at first blush, let me point out several fatal flaws:

1. You cannot use prisoners to dig the moat. You must use union labor.
2. You cannot fill the moat with water and use alligators to deter illegal immigration. Alligators are meat eaters. As soon as the ACLU, MALDEF, LaRaza, et al find this out they will file suit against the project claiming the alligators are profiling because the gators will ignore beer cans, tequila bottles, discarded coyote and drug smuggler gear (AK 47's, hand grenades, knives, machetes, etc.). and only eat people. Moreover, Obama will also have Holder file suit and report the whole project to the UN Human Rights Council, which will immediately condemn the project while 75% of its members adopt in whole for their own countries.
3. You cannot transport the dirt from the southern border to New Orleans. For one, environmentalists will surely find some microbe or other microscopic organism that may be threatened by changing its environment . Also, the dirt must be approved by the Army Corps of Engineers. Using high quality material such as dirt from the sourthern border would be extremely challenging for them since they are accustomed to using only ground up issues of the New Orleans Times Picayune for levee construction.

Not to mention I hope the gators have good lawyers

Lots of human rights suits coming

Not if the Gov. leased it out as an alligator meat farm. So what if it just happens to be 1,800 miles long.
