A Worthy Public Works Project: Ending the Illegal Alien Disaster

By John W. Lillpop

While President-elect Obama schemes to put 2.5 million Americans to work on roads, bridges, schools, electronic medical records, energy and the like, there is an even more urgent project that should be perused for the benefit of our great nation.

The public works initiative that America really needs would save all levels of government hundreds of billions of dollars a year in stolen public services; free up to 30 percent of space taken at federal, state and local prisons and jails; improve education dramatically by reducing class sizes and limiting the number of students who "dumb down" the process because of language and cultural barriers; strengthen homeland security during time of war; significantly reduce the number of people without health insurance; and solve the jobs crisis.

The project: Use unemployed citizens to complete the border fence between the U.S. and Mexico. Allocate additional funds in the Economic Recovery Package to expand the border fence to every place where America shares a border with third-world Mexico.

In addition, needy American citizens should be used to ferret out and physically return to Mexico the 12-38 million invading criminals currently squatting here illegally. With minimal training, citizens could be taught how to find illegal aliens and how to work with law enforcement authorities to immediately deport said criminals.

With escorts from armed authorities, citizens could also be used to drive invading criminals to the Mexican border and oversee the off loading of said criminals on Mexican soil.

Not only would this project put needy Americans to work on a rule of law issue vital to our sovereignty and independence, but deporting illegals who currently hold jobs would free those positions for citizens.

With America committed to spending trillions of dollars of taxpayer money to revive an ailing economy, let us use this opportunity to fix the illegal alien mess, once and for all, by building a viable border fence and by deporting every last invading criminal back to his or her third world nation of origin!
