MICKEY KAUS ON THE BORDER:

The logic seems inescapable. The U.S., in this sense, is an attractive nuisance like a swimming pool. If you want to keep neighborhood children from using the pool, and possibly drowning, you don’t partially fence it in. You completely fence it in. … Full funding for full fencing! … P.S.: Sure, Bush has said “it’s impractical to fence off the border.” But earlier this week he wasn’t willing to flatly endorse even the 320 miles the Senate supported. Today he was. Give him time. He’s caving fast!

Mexican immigrants are adults, though, not children.
