Ask Pepino

When Pepino speaks Spanish, Grandpappy Amos McCoy says “Talk United States. I don’t understand that lingo.”

The United States is undertaking a large project to build a fence along large segments of the US-Mexico border in an attempt to keep illegal immigrants out... A bill passed Thursday in the Senate would build a triple-layer border fence along 370 miles and add U.S. Border Patrol agents, while giving millions of illegal immigrants a means of earning citizenship. A bill previously passed in the House has no citizenship provision and makes it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally. But there's a monkey-wrench that's been thrown in the works: "the Mexican consultation requirement" aka the "Ask Pepino Provision." Given public sentiment on this issue, it's difficult to describe the Senate's actions as anything short of a legislative form of tyranny.

Israeli advice on the Mexico fence: be ruthless!
