Towards a Fête de la Fédération

Go ahead. Build a fence. Post National Guard troops elbow to elbow along the Mexican border from Texas to California.

Hire more Border Patrol agents and buy them more sensitive electronic gadgets so they can detect every wrinkle of human behavior from Bisbee Junction to Tule Well in the desert west of Ajo.

In Arizona, let's arrest illegal immigrants for trespassing, toss their kids out of school and lock them out of our hospital emergency rooms.

But before we cough up the mega-bucks to make all this happen, let's be honest and acknowledge that none of these tactics will resolve our immigration problems in the long run.

We do not say "might not." We say "will not."

Not a chance.

There's nothing in human history to indicate that people will stay poor, oppressed and miserable for any longer than they have to. They will always find a way to improve the conditions of life. They will seek out political and financial security.

In short, they will go looking for what the rest of us want and have by virtue of where we were born...


Bu$hCo solution: Take away political and financial security for everyone here, too, and leave it for Company members in good standing and appropriate breeding.

Let them eat Krispy Kremes, sez She of the Beautiful Mind.
