It seems like there may be a serious alligator problem brewing down in Florida. Back in the 1970's, their population was dwindling, so legislation was enacted to protect them. Now, several decades later, their population is booming. So much so, that it would almost seem competition for food sources is driving them to attack humans.

What can be done about this? Well, another issue at the front of the news cycle these days is the illegal alien issue. You notice I didn't call them "immigrants"? Immigration is a legal process whereby people are legally admitted to our country. They've bypassed that and crossed the border illegally. They aren't immigrants, they are criminals.

Anyway, so the Senate has voted to build a wall to keep some of them out. A rather short wall. At 370 feet, it's a bit shy of covering the nearly 2000-mile border. But I have an alternate solution. The 6000 National Guard troops are a good start, but far short of the number we really need. So how about augmenting them with, oh, say about 6000 alligators? Catch them in Florida, and release them in the Rio Grande.

We'll save $3 million dollars per mile for the length of the river, since we won't need the wall there, save money on National Guard/Border Patrol agents manning that area, and provide a new food source for the alligators all at the same time. The alligators might not like Mexican food at first, but I'm sure they would acquire the taste in short order, even if it is a little greasy.
