Saudi Arabia, amid heavy fighting with Shi'ite rebels, has begun erecting another security fence along its border with Yemen. Saudi military sources said the Defense Ministry has overseen a fast-track project to construct a barbed wire fence along most of the 1,600-kilometer border with Yemen. The sources said the project reflected an urgent requirement for a physical barrier to block the flow of thousands of Shi'ite rebels and their supporters from Yemen to the Saudi kingdom. "The infiltration has reached massive proportions," a Saudi source said. "Thousands are crossing into the kingdom."

It'd be funny if Israel pointed this out. Perhaps Israel could give the Saudis some pointers on how to build an effective border wall.

But...but, the Yemeni Shiite rebels are only going to Saudi Arabia to do jobs the Saudis won’t do. The Saudis need to bring people out of the shadows, keep families together, and meet the demands for workers that aren’t being met. Saudi Arabia is a rich country and it can afford to provide these undocumented immigrants with a more prosperous life. The fact that these folks might want to, uh, overthrow the Saudi government is not germane to the argument over what to do about them.

It is actually the Egyptians, Lebanese and Indians who come to do the work the Saudi’s Won’t do.

Oh I got your irony, except in their case there is a measure of truth to it. Except of course, the Shia tend not to be big on manual labor.
