Humor doesn't get much more dark or cynical then that folks!



It's one idea, with the illegal aliens. Rather than shipping them off to Iraq to die for Republican corporatism and oil companies, I'd rather put them to work for the ACE (Army Corps of Engineers). There are so many projects that need work if our bloody Congress would just fund them (instead of shipping $10 billion off to their own state pork projects).

California needs a string of nuclear desalination plants so they'd stop sucking water from the Colorado. All the Bible Belt states need levees and wetlands worked on along the Mississippi. We need to expand our railways instead of using semi-trucks. There is plenty of cleanup to do in Florida and Mississippi, as well as Louisiana, from the past 4 hurricanes that have come through there. The Mississippi delta needs dredging and water-breaks installed at various points. Plenty of areas with ground-water arsenic deposits and other contaminants that need to be evaulated and a solution (to clean drinking water) found.

Roosevelt called it the "CCC". We need another CCC, and I'd like to make it a part of border security. Secure the borders, give the illegals 6 months to register (fingerprints, photos, retinal and iris scans, DNA samples, matching against criminal database), and have them work for the CCC and spanish language classes as visiting native speakers (especially in our high-schools, but colleges, too).
