Border fence causes flooding

No matter what you believe about immigration, one thing is clear: The new border fence is a disaster.

The government's fence along the Mexican border will cost millions and is expected to last less than 30 years. Now an incident in Arizona proves how out of control this project is.

Last month, debris and water backed up along the fence during a storm - blocking the entrance to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. It turned out that the reason for the flood was that Department of Homeland Suckyurity Director Michael Chertoff opted to disobey environmental laws to speed up the fence's construction.

Now the fence will cost even more, because of flood cleanup.

Many of the areas where the fence is being built don't even want the fence! Here's hoping that these communities send law enforcement in to remove their respective portions of the fence. It would serve Michael Jerkoff right - especially after he decided environmental laws were just "damn pieces of paper" (to borrow Bush's phrase).
