First thought for the blog:
When I was in middle school I remember going over to a friend's house next door. I was over for a while until we noticed that the MPs had detained a bunch of people behind my house. I think somewhere between twenty or thirty. For years I used to think that the 'stupid illegals' couldn't understand enough English to avoid the signs that prominently say every 30 meters "U.S. Army Installation Patrolled by Dogs". Only recently did it occur to me that they were in dire straights and wanted to be found. It's the desert. No food and no water for miles. I don't know what I think about that.
