LETTER: Advice for new president

Dear Editor:
I would like to offer a little advice to the next leader of our nation.

No matter that many said it was logistically impossible for the illegal population to diminish and most return home, it has happened. Since our economy has had a slowdown most of the “cash only” jobs which free people from the chains of tax withholdings are gone. With that disappearance, we have seen a drastic decrease in possible illegal aliens.

Now the advice to go with the observation.

Since Mr. Obama wants to enact the New Deal, Old Deal, Resurrected Deal, I hope he revives the CCC first. The Civilian Conservation Corps could readily build the fence needed along our Southern border. This would provide better security, slow down drug trafficking and provide a means for well meaning immigrants to come here legally.

I bet the CCC camps could build the fence better, quicker, and cheaper than any other agency or contractor hired by the government.

We’ve got four years we might as well get the best out of them.

Maybe we can actually channel some energy to accomplish good and not completely bankrupt the future for our kids.

Just a thought (some may say very little thought.)

Sincerely,
Mike Stowers
Nicholson
