Government needs to get out of the education business.
Government needs to get out of ALL businesses.
So, government can get out of the road paving business, the snow removal business, the mail delivery business, the police business, the fire fighting business, the national defense business, the food testing business, the drug testing business, the air traffic control business, the border patrol business, the corrections business ... because private industry will do all those things cheaper, and better, right?

the border patrol business,
Well since that is almost non-existent, that would be a big yes.
