I Just Don't Get This

I find the bitchy tone of this Washington Post article just bizarre.

It seems that illegal aliens crossing over from Mexico are being deported!

Heaven forbid, the U.S. enforce its borders.

Excerpt:

The more hospitable border promised last year by President Bush and his Mexican counterpart, Vicente Fox, has not appeared. As Bush pursues the war on terror, the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border instead has become more dangerous and difficult to cross, especially along this desert stretch facing Arizona. Just about every day a Mexican dies trying to cross into the United States.

Umm, not to be too insensitive (well, okay, what the hell) -- but that's why there's a BORDER there.

Right?
