The only 'security' Vincente Fox is worried about is his job security. What is with this “security of the common” stuff and how would a fence go against it?

I object as I am not willing to sacrifice my hopes that we will return to the values of our founders yet.

If that’s not the definition of “pork”, I don’t know what is. You are right... you don't know what is. Good fences make good neighbors. A popular and well remembered adage because it is true. Everytime a fence is built, it serves it's purpose. When Israel built theirs, the ones crying about it were the ones who couldn't get over or around it, and those who supported the suicide missions that were thwarted. A better definition of "pork" would be a 250 million dollar "bridge to nowhere". IMO. Aye. If that’s not the definition of “pork”, I don’t know what is.

If that's not the definition of "pork", I don't know what is. Why can't we just admit that you can't build a wall long enough and high enough to prevent people with astronomically high economic incentives from circumventing it? Our tremendous natural resources and innovative capitalist economy allowed us to build an extremely wealthy nation relative to the rest of the world. But let's face it, the rest of the world is figuring out the formula and it's only a matter of time before they catch up. The wealth gap is going to decrease. Not even the most insanely isolationist policy is going to make water flow uphill. Why can't we just create an immigration system that rewards people for using the front door? It will make it a heck of a lot easier to spot the ones (terrorists) that know they won't be allowed through the front.
