Something about a Fence

The reaction on the right to Bush's speech last night seems to be that he was equivocal on building an actual fence along the southern border. If he wasn't, Julie Myers sure was.

Why do so many people think a fence will solve the problem? It obviously won't completely, but it would be a statement that we're serious about securing our borders. It also tells those who come to it that they are not welcome to come across without a valid visa and going through customs. Sure, there are ways to beat a fence, but they're all more work than what faces illegals now.
