Life finds a way ~ that is my favorite line from the movie Jurassic Park ~ turns out border fences don't present much of an obstacle either ~ the wall going up in Naco Arizona is a tightly woven honeycomb structure ~ designed to prevent ‘footholds’ ~ but within days it became an ideal pegboard for screwdrivers ~ which allows ‘handholds’ ~ life found a way ~ I remember the words of a zen master: ‘what’s softest in the world drives what’s hardest’ ~ and when I think about the way water wears down boulders ~ or the way thoughts knock down obstacles ~ the more I'm convinced ~ life finds a way.

Our governor says, "Build a 10 foot fence, and I'll show you an 11 foot ladder." As far as I am concerned it is all busy work and a waste of time and money. It's actually a damn shame we can't come to some reasonable terms with the Mexican government and mount a compromise that would allow both sides to benefit -- if that's possible.
Here in the desert, where it was once Mexico before the US took it over, crossing the border for work is a time honored way of life.
"Build a 10 foot fence, and I'll show you an 11 foot ladder." ~ I like that statement ..was it Arnold ?
I agree with you
