anyone looking for a really big fence?

As some of you may know, I majored in Anthropology in college. I intend to go into a PhD program when I finish with the Peace Corps. I am especially interested in Border culture and issues of security, identity and nationalism at international borders. So when I find interesting things having to do with borders I will post it. Here’s article from the BBC in regards to a US Representative trying to erect a fence across the whole Mexican-US border. In case you’re interested, and you too want to have a 2000 mile fence, it’s only $8 million. If you’ve ever had neighbors like my family has, you would not think that’s such a bad price…
