Why drain the whole swamp when you can just eradicate the giant invasive rats?
Rep. Josh Harder, a California Democrat, brought a dead nutria — commonly referred to as a “swamp rat” — to a congressional hearing this week as he sought support for a bill that would direct $7 million to help eradicate the invasive rodent species from his state.

Eradicating invasive California swamp rats will cost millions, lawmaker says Instead of California paying to set up Illegal Alien invaders in the Life of Luxury while they do nothing, pay a bounty on swamp rats to them and kill two birds with one stone.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just subsidize some Cajuns to temporarily move there and take care of business?
Oh wait, no self respecting Cajun would be caught dead living in California.
Never mind.

Eradicating them in Washington DC will probably cause a Civll War.

No fed dollars should go to this waste of a state until they clean up their own act! Stop the stupid policies that created this mess.

“California swamp rats”, a joke that wrote itself.
I think the priority should be on cleaning up the DC swamp rats.
To: Boomer
Use them to feed the homeless.

Stetson hats were made from their fur in the 40’s I think, maybe even earlier.

Swamp Rat is the Nutria. I remember when raising them, in your garage, for their fur was all the rage back in 1957-1958.
Then like a Ponzi scheme, worm farm, Emu farm, they collapsed and with no market the owners simply released them into the wild.

They either finally found an animal that the Chinese and North Koreans won’t eat, or we need more international marketing people to sell the idea that sweet chili ginger nutria jerky is a non gmo organic free range superfood that can increase the libido, reduce bad cholesterol, and enhance cognitive performance in school children.

My first thought was why not just not allow them to vote?
