Borders and boundaries- part I
Borders are a hot topic right now. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) wants them to be controlled. According to a recent GAO report, though, Homeland Security (of which INS is a part) has failed miserably in their mandate to keep this country secure. The report presumably included their poor management of our porous borders. INS mandates not withstanding, farmers and restauranteurs want the borders to be easier to cross, not harder. Apparently crops are rotting in the fields and dishes are going unwashed due to our hardass immigration policies which don’t seem to have had much effect on our security. Then we have the problem of people dying in trucks left locked (with them inside) in the middle of the desert, traffic accidents caused by INS pursuits and children being left permanently at daycares as their parents are deported. So one must ask the question: what is the benefit of this “sound and fury signifying nothing”?
