BORDERS THEN AND NOW

The border dispute goes on and on.  Some want an open border.  Others want to enforce the law (what a unique idea). Some people campaign for a border wall, which was funded once but never finished, while others rave about how we are a caring people and should open our borders to anyone.
You may be surprised to know that in 1918 the mayor of Nogales, Sonora, Felix B. Penaloza, ordered that a wall be built of 6 strands of barbed wire running along the border separating the two Nogales towns to funnel those crossing the border to a single point for better control.
U.S. Troops patrolled one side while Mexican soldiers patrolled the other, much like what was started some forty years later separating the two Koreas (and still going on today).
The reason for the wall then was Poncho Villa and his invasion in 1910.  Today it is because of another invasion---illegals, thousands of them, wanting what we have to give them.  They don't understand it is against the law.......Medicineman!
