Schwarzenegger: Send prisoners to Mexico

Bad idea, leave it to a politician to think of a new way to send money south. What are we getting return for all the millions we send for them to fight the drug cartel?

Good point. Build a prison in Mexico and Mexicans will probably get all the money for it and a little extra besides for the general rot.

Remo and AG, that was my first thought also. Next thing they'll want is us to pay for their police, then firefighter, then schools and on and on. Mexico is not a poor country, they're just a very corrupt country.

I'd be happy to donate for the tents. Then dye the outfits pink. Love it!

The more I think about this the worse it gets.
1. We send money south to build a prison in Mexico, Mexico owns it.

2. The people who will build it will be Mexicans so we are out sourcing the labor to Mexico while our citizens continue to be unemployed.
3. Will we ship food from Bakersfield, Fresno etc to the prisoners?

Good job Arnie!

Last night I posted an article which stated this idea is dead in the water.
