And there were no more problems ever again

U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., finally got the Senate to approve his 370 miles of fencing and 461 miles of vehicle barriers on the Mexican border Wednesday. The House already likes the idea.

And a great one it is. For a mere $1.8 billion (or more), we can be assured that no illegal immigrants ever again will climb over the obstacles, or tunnel under them, or go around them, or hide in the back of an inbound truck, or hop aboard an inbound boat or plane, or overstay their visas. Especially not with jobs still readily available on the sly from employers who play the odds that they won't be caught, and that even if they are, they probably won't have to pay too heavy of a financial penalty.
