(a) Hire liberals to stand at the Mexican border to wave them across - oh, wait a minute - you clowns already do that for the illegals...scratch that one;

(b) Okay, okay, just print 1 million signs along the border saying, "Free butterfly mating classes ahead!" Sure to attract more of 'em to move here!! Also, you can force milk cartons to have pictures of butterflies with the words "Have You Seen This Butterfly?";


(c) Last resort: Force every illegal to bring a butterfly with them when they hop over the border! You dumbasses can count 'em to make sure that at least every illegal has one! Asking your baitor-in-chief for the money to pay for all these options - I'm sure he can threw it into his "Save The Planet From Global Warming...AND Butterfly Propagation Slush Fund."


See - simple solutions. Liberalism is a disease - the only cure is common sense.

I'm not clear on why the focus is strictly on milkweeds as a limiting factor in monarch demise (along with herbicides and pesticides of course). Here on island of Hawaii (in my own back yard in fact) we have lots of monarchs which use several different kinds of plants which the monarchs readily use as hosts for their caterpillar/pupae stages. The one common factor I've seen in these plants is that they seem to have a milky white sap which I suspect is full of the alkaloids also found in milkweed sap and which makes the monarch an undesirable insect to be eaten by birds. Anyway, I've posted two pictures at www.flickr.com/CaptainRBrown showing the 3 life stages of the monarch which I captured on a crown flower tree branch. At times the crown flower tree looks like swiss cheese because there are so many monarch caterpillars eating its leaves. Maybe part of the solution for mainland monarchs is to find more temperate climate desirable garden plants like the crown flower. The problem is exacerbated by the intentional destruction of milk weed as an "undesirable" plant and treatment of all leaf eating caterpillars as pests even though without caterpillars we don't have butterflies which also spread pollen...but there as noted above there are other suitable plants. Again, see my flickr page for macro pictures of this beautiful creature in all 3 life stages.
