...tried once more to show that compassion and conservatism can speak the same language, as he reopened the debate over immigration reform. First he had to reassure conservatives that he's still the sheriff, and so his trip to the Yuma, Ariz., borderlands included a dedication of a new border-patrol station and an inspection of the Predator, an unmanned plane used to track incursions. Deterrence is working, he said; arrests are down 68% here, which must mean people have given up trying...
...indeed, the South looks North and sees the U.S. growling: the Wall rises in Arizona. Eagle Pass, Texas, adopts a zero-tolerance policy called Operation Streamline, in which border agents stop sending migrants home and send them to jail instead.

If that so then I should be offended that when I go into a building-I have to sign in-or when I attend many athletics events-I have to go through magnetometer-or when I go to airports-I have to go through numerous layers of security and prove who I am with a photo identification. We ask that of our own citizens, it is not unreasonable that...
