And Now, the US of A Fence

If you didn't know, the United States is fencing in (or out) its border with Mexico. Too many illegal Mexicans and others coming through.

The New York Times doesn't like it and one of its reasons is:-

Lie No. 2: A fence will help.

A 700-mile fence, if it works, will only drive immigrants to other parts of the 2,000-mile border. In parts of the trackless Southwest, building the fence will require building new roads. Who uses roads? Immigrants and smugglers. And no fence will do anything about the roughly 40 percent of illegal immigrants who enter legally and overstay their visas.


Sound familiar to those who opposed Israel's security barrier?
