That was, ostensibly, the aim of the post, to get this particular local opinion piece out there, and see what others thought.

What do you mean "the fence works in San Diego"? No illegal immigration issues whatsoever, then?

The gist of the article was that the fence is all for show and that it doesn't actually stop anyone at all. And that to extend an ineffective fence along a 1,950 mile long border is ludicrous.

I am okay with ID ideas, but I am skeptical of putting the enforcement burden on business owners (at the risk of their businesses).

So, overall, I am at a loss.
