Exporting democracy… or Democrats?

From friends at the Fence Coalition (fencecoalitio@yahoogroups.com):

Below is a piece from an article in the Rio Grande Guardian about the wall that shows some of the real world impacts for cities along the border:

If DHS builds a border wall in Roma, as local landowners have been told, it would more than likely mean Rep. Ryan Guillen’s district office would end up on the Mexico side.

It is not something Guillen, D-Rio Grande City , is looking forward to. “I would hate to be fenced in like that,” he quipped. “Would Border Patrol give me a key?”

Guillen’s Roma office is located at 301 West Lincoln Avenue. An historic building which used to serve as a jail, the tiny office is situated on top of a bluff overlooking the Rio Grande.

Given that the Department of Homeland Security likes to build a road alongside its border fences, it appears unlikely there would be sufficient space to develop between the river and Guillen’s office.

“There’s not much room for a fence down on the riverbank because the riverbank is never the same. It all depends on how low the water is,” said Roma Alderman Noel Benavides.

“I cannot see how they could build a fence without blocking Representative Guillen’s office in. His office is high up on the bluff. He would be fenced in.”

In Texas, there’s always a way to deal with them danged liberals.
