I didn't get the sense that this article was exactly advocating for a fence.

I'm not suggesting that we should have 'open' borders, but I still wait, patiently, for someone, anyone to come up with a reasonable solution to the TOTALITY of this issue.

Absolutely. The issues are so complex that a simple fence or "kill em all" mentality isn't addressing economics, cultural factors, etc.
I am all over the place on this issue, and every side of it has very valid points. I, too, await some real, creative attention on this issue.

One thing this article reports spot on is the fact that those who live far from the border have no real idea what they're talking about when it comes to issues of immigration or other border region issues, but it too misses the mark. As do so many.

It may have missed, but it's a lot closer than what seems to come out of Washington. It's rare any Senator bothers to actually come out here and spends a week, talking and listening. They obviously don't have a clue what's really happening.
Honestly, it's a hair away from becoming a sniper zone, people are so frustrated and angry.
