Border Town

New Mexico and, well the Old Mexico have agreed to raze all the buildings in a Mexican town that has become home to drug smugglers and illegal immigrant runners. I'm sure this makes everyone feel good in New Mexico, but how could it possibly make any difference? Okay, so now the town won't exist... and? Aren't migrants, by definition, completely unreliant on fixed addresses or buildings? Is it me, or is this war on illegal immigration already lost? Also, how can we spent so much money to build up our own border and protect ourselves from the "threat" that a bunch of Mexicans will become landscapers in the US, but we can't secure the borders to Iraq and protect our troops from people who actually want to kill them?
