Minutemaids

When just yesterday I said that the Minutemen would do a better job at border control than the government…I was right—but only just:

It was supposed to be 14 feet high and topped with razor wire. It was also supposed to send a message to Washington that if the government wouldn’t seal off the southern border, volunteers could.

Almost two years later, the reality is a five-strand barbed-wire barrier that ranchers dismiss as a mere cattle fence.

I think these guys are great, but I used to climb through barbed wire fences like this as a kid without a second thought. Unless we’re trying to give illegals tetanus from rusty barbs (thereby burdening our health care system), this is really quite sad.
