Five mexican general plan

Kinky Friedman, candidate for Governor of Texas, has proposed a solution to the immigration problem on the U.S./Mexico border.

Under Friedman's plan the border with Mexico would be divided into five sections with one Mexican general responsible for each section. A $1 million trust fund would be created and held in a bank for each general.

“When I talk about the five Mexican generals, people think I’m joking but I’m dead serious,” said Friedman. “I will divide the border into five jurisdictions, assigning one Mexican general to each and providing a trust fund for that general. Every time a person crosses illegally, we subtract $5,000 from the trust fund.” - Kinky Friedman

Friedman's plan is intended not only to save money, but to place the responsibility of securing the border on the Mexican government rather than the U.S. government - by incenting Mexican military leaders monetarily.
