I have to say that I am loving my
special project so far! I have learned a lot over the past few weeks although
not all of it has been useful knowledge. Today when I was scrolling through CNN’s
website I caught up with world events, but I also saw some stories that were
pretty “out there.” I saw Shetland ponies that received hand-knitted sweaters
to attract tourists and a young school teacher who posted pictures of herself
doing drugs on her twitter account. All I have to say is that there are some
crazy people out there!
One story that was really
interesting to me though, was on a man in Arizona whose ranch lies on the
Mexican/American border. He said he doubts that a day has gone by where illegal
immigrants haven’t crossed his land,
which was a scary thought to me. The story also showed the fences along the
border- which are probably 10 feet high in some places and then small barbwire annoyances
in other places. The reported said that the high fences are very effective at
keeping out immigrants but the large barbwire sections definitely aren’t. I
know it would be impossible to create huge barriers along the entire border,
but I definitely think we can do better than barbwire.
