Dear Editor,

I know how to fix the problem with illegal immigration. Let's annex Mexico - just make it part of the United States. We'll have their oil, and everybody will be nice and legal. Then the new border will be much skinnier and easier to control. Of course we will have to protect the increased amount of coast line, but we'll have plenty of people happy to do the job at minimum wage. We need some new states. This is our big chance.

And while we're at it, we better annex Venezuela too.

Thank you, John Vehon
