Guess What? A Fence Works!

According to liberals, nothing works. Well, a certain piece of very low tech equipments seems to be working here.

At this fabled border crossing, where the last armed conflict between the United States and Mexico flared, the rancorous debate over the new U.S. anti-immigrant fence has been resolved.

The fence works, residents north and south of it say. At least it works for now on this snippet of the line.

"You hear it all the time: Fences don't work. Fences don't work," said Mark Winder, a transplanted New Englander and part-time deputy sheriff who lives on a small ranch outside Columbus, N.M., where a 3-mile stretch of wall was completed in August. "I live 2½ miles from the border, and the fence is working."

One bit of evidence is that the economy on the Mexican side of the border is in steep decline. Normally, that would bother me. But, as the economy had been based upon drug smuggling, I think that's a good thing.

Seems to me that Israel solved a problem it was having with Palestinian terrorists by walling them out of Israel.

Finish the damned fence! This should be an issue for the 2008 election. Democrats would rather give illegals drivers licenses than tighten border security. Let's use the fence to highlight the contrast.
