07/24/2007: "Video mocks US border impotence"

Well, the sharp folks behind Grassfire.org, an emerging conservative grassroots organization, are using the geriatric tactic to push for tighter enforcement of the U.S.-Mexico border. The group has produced a video circulating on YouTube in which three elderly women cruising in a vintage car stop along the border.

One woman looks out the passenger window and remarks at the desert view: "It certainly is a big border." The driver chimes in: "A very big border."

An announcer then reminds viewers that Congress authorized 700 miles of fence along the border last year. That prompts the trio to demand: "Where's the fence?" Then the ladies shout the same question at three men, presumably illegal immigrants, scrambling across the road.

It's a perfect Web video: funny, short, catchy and uncomplicated.

Video - Where's the Fence?
