I really liked the idea about putting the prisoners to work. It is high time that we reinstated chain gangs. Huge numbers of our prisoners are nonviolent drug offenders. It would do them a world of good to learn how to work hard and earn a living without selling drugs. Plus they would be paying restitution and a portion of their cost of incarceration.
Great idea!

If we had a decent border fence, it would be much cheaper to dump them on the other side. Unskilled chain gang labor is not worth much compared to the cost of incarceration.
