Policy proposal regarding Greenland

I had an idea for our use of Greenland once we are given it by Denmark. The other day, the President floated the idea of outsourcing our prisons to other countries. A modern penal colony- but not really. We would still be paying for their upkeep and services, and ultimately we would need to take them back after their sentences.

Instead, I propose a real penal colony- on Greenland. Much of it is uninhabited and under developed, but if we want to extract minerals there is much work to do. I say we send our criminals there, with a generous grant of farm equipment, construction machinery, and livestock. No barbed wire, no guards… those are costly. Just take the prisoners there, and set them free. Obviously we need to control the airports and coasts, but we just uh, let them colonize. There is a reason the brits did this for hundreds of years, its cost effective, forces self reliance, and personal development while also improving foreign realms for later use.

Australia was started this way, and I see no reason we cant make Greenland the Australia of the north Atlantic. I mean sure its cold, but with the liberal’s global warming maybe we too could offer coral reefs and beautiful beaches.

The labor pool would build up to provide labor for mining and oil extraction in the meantime.

Thoughts? How do I get this plan to the Administration?
