Free Range

I suppose we should all cheer the 700 mile fence that Congress is building along our southern border with billions of our taxpayer dollars. After all, it might help keep the 12 million undocumented Mexican-Americans from leaving this country in disgust. I don't know about you, but I have no desire to take up the slack in the hard work of this country that would be left by their departure. Perhaps we should attempt to treat these good people like human beings. That used to be the American way.

William's Whimsical Words:

Building a wall around America makes as much sense as installing a sprinkler system to put out a flood.
