Immigration

Here's an environmentally-friendly way to keep out the aliens, harking back to the days of medieval castles: build a moat.

That's the proposal for a stretch of the border along Yuma, Arizona. It calls for digging a channel up to 10 feet deep and 60 feet wide through wetlands that have become dry lands, just inside the border. The dirt excavated would be used for some nice landscaping, including an elevated patrol road.

Well, it sounds just lovely, and I very much prefer that to a fence, but WTF? They can’t cross water? Are they aliens or demonic spirits?

(Every time I read an article talking about aliens, my first reaction is that we’re about to discuss beings from another planet. Which, actually, would probably be us. Where else would we get such hairbrained schemes?)


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
