The Fence: That ever encroaching cross between the Berlin Wall and Christo's Gates (Artist: Michael Chertoff, secretary of homeland security, with funding provided by the United States of America).
Dan Barry reporting on the Fence that the U.S. is erecting in an effort to deter illegal immigration from Mexico in this morning's New York Times.
The piece, A Natural Treasure That May End Up Without a Country, reports on how the Fence may well cut off the 550 acre Sabal Palm Aububon Center on U.S. soil in Brownsville, Texas from U.S. visitors.
Nevermind the fact that Michael Chertoff has never, apparently, heard of the Maginot Line.
