The newspapers from the past few days have more evidence of the remarkable cruelty and sheer idiocy of the nation's immigration policy.
First, the cruelty: word from the LA Times that border officials are attaching razor wire to the border fence.
And then the idiocy: news from Texas that customs officials are insisting on checking for proof of citizenship during emergency evacuations. Having learned nothing from Katrina, federal officials now want to slow evacuations down with red tape.
Incredible.
FYI - the photo is by the exceptional (and Pultizer Prize-winning) Don Bartletti of the LA Times. He and reporter Sonia Nazarro each won Pulitzers for their artful and moving series on immigration, "Enrique's Journey."
