At the moment, our security at the border often amounts to little more than
a few strands of barbed wire with no government personnel within miles to
guard it. I remember standing at just such a wire on the Arizona-Mexico
border a couple of hours before daylight on Sept. 11, 2001. I had been
riding with a heavily armed retired Border Patrol all night, had seen just
how little effort our government was making to close down what was known
then as Cocaine Alley, and was feeling a little vulnerable. Then, I got
angry. I turned to my guide and spouted a bunch of rhetoric about how our
government's refusal to protect American workers from illegal labor had also
left us totally open to all kinds of terrorism. The American people would be
shocked to see how cavalier our government treats their safety.
