_Click here: Fortress America Divides Sleepy Border Town | Immigration |
AlterNet_ (http://www.alternet.org/blogs/immigration/96207/)
Wingnuts never think through the consequences of their actions. To _wit_
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/23/AR2008082300816.ht
ml?hpid=moreheadlines) :
DERBY LINE, Vt. -- The changes started coming slowly to this small town
where the U.S. border with Canada runs across sleepy streets, through houses
and
families, and smack down the middle of the shared local library.
First was the white, painted lettering on the pavement on three little side
streets -- "Canada" on one side, "U.S.A." on the other. Then came the white
pylons denoting which side of the border was which. After that, signboards
were erected on some streets, ordering drivers to turn back and use an
officially designated entry point.
And along with the signposts came an influx of American Border Patrol
agents, cruising through the town in their green-and-white sport-utility
vehicles
with sirens, chasing down cars and mopeds that ignored the posted warnings.
For longtime residents accustomed to a simpler life that flowed freely
across a largely invisible border, the final shock -- and what made most
people
really take notice -- was a proposal by the border agents last year to erect
fences on the small streets to officially barricade the United States from
Canada, and neighbor from neighbor.
All this supposedly so we can stem the flow of Islamofascists and Canadian
migrant workers through the sidestreets of Derby Line, Vermont.
