Do I think the fence will be 100 percent effective? No. Do I think the fence will make a difference? Yes.

I don't hate the idea of a fence. I support it, in fact. But I share your belief in the principle of telling the government of Mexico to piss off. I understand that the government of Mexico can't completely prevent its citizens from illegally crossing the border any more than our government can prevent American college students from going to Mexico and getting drunk. But I think it's fair to say that Mexico hasn't exactly been discouraging illegal immigration...
