Halt, Illegal Immigrant!
What’s the answer to our woefully porous southern border. A fence? More border guards?
Feh. We don’t need any of that rubbish. We’re going to get a super-dee-duper new virtual fence!
Color me significantly less than excited. I’m not exactly a novice when it comes to security matters so I know that a bunch of new cameras looking out over wide open desert is not exactly a security system. As see-dubya notes, one good sneaky person with a high-powered rifle can start plinking cameras pretty much with inpugnity. Technology also has a nasty way of failing when you most need it to work and the newer the tech, the twitchier it tends to be (isn’t that right, users of Microsoft Vista or you folks who bought that iPhone the first week it came out?). I like techy gewgaws as much as the next geek, but when it comes to security, there is no substitute at all for a decent wall and trained people to watch the perimeter.
That’s why all the places we really want to make sure are secure – you know, the White House, military bases, Fort Knox, nuclear power plants – have a wall and trained people to watch the perimeter.

Obviously the US Government doesn't want to make sure our national borders are secure. We, the People, do! But we count little to the Elite outside of Flyover Country who bear the burden of the illegal invasion.
Sheesh!
But benning. Look! Cameras!
Don't you feel better? Now in the approximate words of our presidential candidates, go back to eating your pork rinds and drinking your warm domestic beer in your squalid hate-filled hovel and let those poor, innocent, Hispanic folks live in peace and harmony.

See-dubya, I'm just trying to keep up with you! I read your posts and I see how far behind you and folks like Allah and Ace's crew I am in bringing the funny and hip stuff into blog posts.
"inpugnity"
impunity?

I thought you played some musical instrument for a living? I'm not being snarky– I just don't know your whole scene.
I'm studying for my music degree so that I can be a choral teacher. But for a living, I'm a police dispatcher. I've been doing that for almost 20 years.
