"Anyone who does not like virtual fences should try to get into Area 51 which has 300 miles of rather effective virtual fence around it."
Interesting comment.
Uhhhh Area 51 gets maybe a dozen moonbats a year trying to get in and does not share a border with a poor corrupt nation.
But nice try though ;^)

That's a good point, but that virtual fence is backed up by the very real likelihood of lethal force deployment. Just a note.
Personally I'm happy with this step. I'm not vindictive towards W at all about the border. Like the Meier (sp?) nomination, sometimes W is not 100% right on something. When he later takes a better course, it's fair and helpful to give him kudos. After all, if W gets flak from the border-hawks *regardless* of what he does, he's going to ignore them; nobody wants to bother trying to please the unpleasable.
It's perfectly OK, of course, to praise him today and tomorrow go back to the table and say "now, let's go further and do X Y or Z more." That's how to get results. Digging in one's heels and saying "Do it exactly my way or I'll scream" is a trick best left to Pelosi and Dean and that ilk.
Well, sure, because the aliens will zap you if you get too close! : )
