My syndicated column today follows up on my blog post yesterday about the bipartisan border fence-gutting. The episode, I note, is an
object lesson in gesture politics and homeland insecurity. It’s a tale of hollow rhetoric, meaningless legislation and
bipartisan betrayal. And in the run-up to the Iowa caucuses, it’s a helpful learning tool as you assess the promises
of immigration enforcement converts now running for president.
Next time you hear a leading presidential candidate try to woo you with
his nine-point immigration enforcement plan or his secure ID plan or his Secure Borders platform, point to the Incredible
Disappearing Border Fence. Poof! That is what happens to election-season homeland security promises.
Why would theirs be any different?
