Another good piece on the worthlessness of the border fence. The fence itself just forces people desperate to cross into more dangerous and life-threatening situations. Undocumented immigration has declined the.
I find the somewhat silly controversy of MSNBC insinuating that Mitt Romney stole the phrase "Keep America American" from the second Ku Klux Klan interesting for a few reasons. 1..
