Why is it that great ideas come in the middle of the night? I mean I need my beauty sleep just like everyone else (actually if the truth were known, I probably need it MORE than many people — why else do you think I don’t post photos of myself??), but noooooo, my wonderful ideas come at 2:00 am and wake me up.

If I’m puzzling over the answer to a coding problem at work DING! 2:00am and the eyes pop open and the brain goes “BINGO! EUREKA! PROBLEM SOLVED!!“. Of course, if I don’t get up right away to write the idea or answer down, it’s often gone into the murky mists of brain fog by morning, so I’ve learned to get up and go handle it right then or risk that elusive thought’s evaporation. Hence the loss of beauty sleep in a rather big way.

So, with this country’s woes on my mind, I drift off to sleep last night and voila! At 2:00 am here it comes — the solution to the problem.

Only it’s not the solution to the economic problem.

It’s the solution to Immigraton. And it’s such an EASY solution that solves many problems besides immigration…don’t laugh now. I’m serious about this — it would truly solve lots of problems!

We need to annex Mexico.

Yep — that would do it. Annex Mexico, make it another state (heck we already have states as big as Mexico, so why not another one??). Felipe can be governor. All the people would be given US Citizenship and that way they would all automatically become taxpayers (which would increase our tax base) and that would eliminate the 7 million illegal immigrants we’re currently dealing with — or most of them anyway. The current states in Mexico would become counties. No problem right? I’m sure the Mexican people would be thrilled. It would give us a supply of cheap labor and we wouldn’t be sending jobs out of the country any more when they went to Mexico and we could stop building the wall. We would have more tourist spots to charge a luxury tax on (more tax revenues!) and most of them know some English, so language isn’t that big of a problem, either.

Yep — it’s perfect….

Well, now that I’ve solved that problem, I need to go back to bed.

Who knows what other problems I can solve given enough sleep.
