I stand in awe of the visionary solution to the imminent threat of invasion by millions of disenfranchised Mexican pouring over our borders on a daily basis (whew, what a mouthful) Seriously, how original, how blindingly simple, let's build a 700 mile long wall to keep the immigrants on their side and the prisoners on our side.

Brilliant, but I would like to offer a solution to the obvious questions that will go begging in the wake of this gigantic building program. Who will build it? I suggest that we round up the illegal immigrants and put them to work on their wall, poetic, no? We get all the illegally imported Mexicans to stay on their side of the wall to build it, we pay them minimum wages and make sure that after working on the damn thing for several years they are aware of the Wall and its purpose, plus, they'll be on the other side of the wall when it's finished, neat and clean.

I already hear your objections, what about our side? Who will build our side of the wall to ensure the quality and esthetic criteria that such a monumentally ridiculous task will entail? Simple, we round up the other group of illegal immigrants, those that failed to qualify for H1B visas, the doctors and nurses from abroad who are cleaning homes, the nannies from India and the refugees who are under employed according to their education, the software engineers working at Frys or the entire Wal Mart customer service department. Let's not forget the Tien Amin square PRC refugees who will have a very important role to play.

Oh yes, the PRC, the People's Republic of China immigrants will have a very special task. Historically, they are the progeny of the people who still hold the international wall building record, over four thousand miles of wall! Awesome, inspirational, totally Texan in outlook when mine has to bigger than yours. Better than the East Germans, longer than the Israelis, stronger than the Roman Hadrian wall in the UK. Yes the Chinese will be the designers and task masters of this wonderful project. They have the history, they have the numbers and they certainly have the drive to get it done. Who knows, they may even ask Halliburton to come in as consultants, and it will avoid having to outsource because the outsource is already here. In-house outsourcing, a new concept in urban planning and renewal that so far was only available to the upper crust in need of nannies, gardeners and chefs.

You have to admire our present administration, the great wall of Mexico (named after the builders, not the designers) will turn our economy around, protect us from Mexican terrorist gardeners and provide work for every failed H1B applicant for years to come.

Once the Southern wall is complete, there is an even longer border to the North, after all we need to protect our great democracy from returning Viet Nam era draft dodgers and Bush era national guardsmen yearning to be free. The only problem with the Canadian wall is that it will soon have to designed to keep our no longer free citizens on our side of the border, but it is more than a thousand miles longer than that puny Chinese effort. So finally, our wall will be bigger than their wall.

Who knows, Canada might even be tempted to pay Halliburton to build it.

Dick, Dick, the phone is ringing!!
