The only sense in which those who say fences don’t work are right is this: To be of full effect they must be backed up by defense in depth. A national will to shun scofflaw migrants must exist. A healthy nation ought deny them benefits, and encourage, even enforce, their exit.

You know, I never really thought about it like that before. What Mitt Romney does will be very interesting to watch.
