Quote of the week
“This is a horrible reaction by interior America and their legislators. They want to see a fence. Well, put a freaking fence in their back yard. Why should we pay the price because they’re overreacting?”
Brownsville Mayor Patricio Ahumada, quoted in the Austin American-Statesman on plans to build 70 miles of 16-foot high “aesthetically pleasing” fence along the Rio Grande. “Freaking” might not have been the word I’d use, though my word would sound close.
