Massachusetts sheriff offers up inmates to build Trump's border wall

FALL RIVER, Mass. (KKTV) - A Massachusetts sheriff believes he has a way to aide President-elect Donald Trump in building a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson has unveiled an initiative he's tabbing Project N.I.C.E., which stands for National Inmates' Community Endeavors.

He says inmates from the Bristol County House of Correction could volunteer to help build the border wall or clean up disaster sites.

In his bio for Bristol County it states Hodgson continues to remain actively involved with other sheriffs throughout the United States to call for careful and thoughtful immigration reform with an initial emphasis on securing our borders and points of entry.

The Republican sheriff often shares his stance against illegal immigration.

Didn’t they try this in “Shawshank Redemption?” Not that it matters to me, but I’ll bet union contractors and laborers would be upset!

He's the GOAT, man. If he tells you a banty rooster can pull a freight train, you should be busy hooking up the harness for him.

“I didn’t know Tom Brady knew anything about masonry”

He sure does. Right down to the secret handshakes.

Put the law and overseers north of the prisoners and if they escape into Mexico, then good for them.

How about we put law abiding Americans to work instead?

How many bricks does it take to earn early parole? If they learn a trade as well as aiding their country, I think a little reward is in order.

*************************************************

The only reform necessary is actual enforcement of the laws.

We haven’t had any in many years.

Bubba Clinton did a better job than either Bush.

Read somewhere that more than 60 million democrats shit a brick when Trump won so all we allegedly need is mortar and day laborers .....

Just stop foreign aid to mexico and use that cash to fund the construction.

Walls can’t be bribed. This is a BIG opportunity. We need to support these kind of offers with extreme gratitude.

This is actually a big deal.

I vote for using unemployed people willing to do a good days work every day, maybe some even have good skills for the job? Then I say hire any other US citizen willing to do a good days work every day.

We want a strong wall that will endure time and not be built with any added tunnels or weak spots that will aide in problems down the road with defending it.

I vote we use low risk inmates in chain gang fashion as sherif Joe used to for some clean up projects etc. Use them to seasonally pick crops maybe too?

Better be careful sending prisoners that close to the border, in the shoot em up horse operas that is where all the outlaws wanted to go!
