On Tuesday, the Washington Post front-paged its criticism of President Trump’s border wall, quoting Mexican touts saying they are unimpressed with the prototypes. Now it’s true that Mexicans are acknowledged experts in national breaking and entering, but there is more to keeping out moochers and enemies that the story leaves unmentioned — like universal e-Verify to end the jobs magnet.

Still, I appreciated the quote from the insightful anonymous police officer: “What insults me is the government of Mexico, which doesn’t care about its own people. This is an insult. The money being robbed that they are not spending on schools, on science.”

Yes, indeed. Mexico is rich, consistently ranking around #15 in World GDP, so it could easily afford to provide better for its people.

A border wall is needed to block invasive jihadists, who won’t be stopped by universal e-Verify. Remember when filmmaker James O’Keefe crossed the border dressed as Osama bin Laden to illustrate the danger of open borders, shown below.
