South of the Border Down Mexico Way. Steve Miller at the Washington Times reports on the convention of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) which is hosting a number of government officials. David V. Aguilar, chief patrol agent for 281 miles of the Arizona-Mexico border, told the crowd that that the "government has a responsibility to protect Mexican citizens who are illegally crossing into the United States. ... 'We have had 350 rescues since March,' Mr. Aguilar said. 'We now have [emergency rescue] crews in each sector who are trained to deploy in these areas.'

Aside from the usual hand wringing about the illegal immigrants who choose to trek through the Arizona desert, we are told "the Mexican government is building observation towers that will allow the Mexican military, which has posts on the border, to observe illegal immigrants crossing into the United States."

Sounds kind of like bird watching. Of course, if the "undocumented" want a real desert trip, they could try the African route.

Seeing all this reminds me that another reference to "The Camp of the Saints" is in order.
