#2 Will the illegals stop coming when we run out of money and jobs for them? Or will SCOTUS order us to employ so many illegals because it's Constitutional (sarc)--in other words buying things/services we don't want? Obamacare has set the model for this.

#3 Instapundit links to a The Hill report on the spike in border crossings. From the bit he quotes, this caught my attention:

The spokesman said the increase was unusual because the number of unaccompanied minors who cross the border usually falls in August due to extreme heat.

The trail of bodies must be horrendous. How is it that there is no reporting on this in the Mexican-and-points-south press? That parents would encourage their children to brave this unaccompanied makes no sense, unless almost all of them are at the high end of the "child" age range, actually functionally adults making their own way in the world.

#4 I expect most of these 'children' are in their late teens, early twenties.

You mean... there's NO GLOBAL WARMING?!?

#6 ^ Nonsense. NOAA data (with adjustments for norming) says the average temperature was 145 degrees

#9 The barking and shrieking and terror
Has echoed down many an era,
And land-sharks still follow
(to find flesh to swallow!)
The smugglers' routes on la Frontera.

#10 Brits hungered for desolate places,
Importing their procreant races:
"We're full! Chicken tikka,
And no dogs to lick the
Mohammedan egg off our faces."
