hey the answer and the solution for colorado ,and the inmates they can use some work out instead of watching tv all day ,but what about texas?who will do the construction work?should inmates do construction work as well?.reason i ask this because i notices white and black people don't work in construction......

Well.... I tried to comment - but it is "Awaiting Approval".... I guess I will see if it gets "approved".

Chulo - Believe me white and black people USED to do the construction work, until cheap and sometimes inferior labor arrived. When driving through Mississippi and Illinois last summer I noticed in those states that they still do construction work. Here's a real shocker for you....they were also doing landscape work. So it seems that states won't collapse because of the lack of cheap labor.

They have been doing this in Arizona for years, not just with illegals but with all of their inmates. Repeat offenders don't happen much there. After working in 115 degree weather, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for meals, and only being able to watch the food channel on TV, the criminals tend to find a better way to conduct their lives, or leave the state.

I hope Texas is listening!!!

Chulo, I don't know what construction sites you have been to if you think white folks and black folks don't do the work! My husband is in the contruction business, he is white, half his crew is white and 90% of the other crews he works with are an even mix of white and black.

Shell, I think some idiot politicians convinced some other idiot politicians that the Chain Gangs were "cruel and unusual" punishment. I wonder if they ever considered if the victims of these crimes suffered "cruel and unusual" punishment at the hands of the criminals???? Probably not, seems that the criminials have more rights than the victims.

Shell - I'm hanging in there some days are easier than others. Thanks for asking.

ChickenLady - couldn't have said the cruel and unusual punishment thing better.

Maybe they can do trade work for pennies on the dollar and the rest of the money goes to their citizenship! Sounds good to me!!

Already working here, just take 1/2 of the pay away for citizenship and WAA LAA! LEGAL!!!

Nah...new illegals work say 5yrs to pay off citizenship at $5 an hour and old illegals work 10yrs to pay off their citizenship at $5 an hour AND past U.S. government money aquired PLUS pay an additional fine.

I am just sick of people who aren't supposed to be here get more U.S. government help THAN I DO!
I make too much money to apply for housing discounts, too much money for food, too much for financial assistance, too much for medicaid...yet at any given time I could really use ONE of those helps...even if it is for only a to week period. THEY use it for life! Drives me nuts!
Even my tax dollars go to supporting the illegal population! Dang-it...I want my money back...or at least some decent roads to drive on!
