Chuck?

Last week Chuck Norris expressed his, um, dismay about the Customs and Border Protection’s decision to scrap the proposed, 28-mile virtual fence along the Mexico/Arizona border. Check out Chuck’s angry words here.

Some of the highlights of Mr. Norris’ post include:

“Is anyone really shocked by this security fence fiasco? Another government solution bites the dust.”
“How is it that we can militarily overthrow a government like Iraq, yet we can’t militarily keep illegalities from crossing our borders?”
“It is not a matter of if but when America will be attacked again from terrorists who despise our country and us.”
“We need to quit condoning illegal immigration through couching language and compromising justifications.”
“…a friend of mine has a Texas-tough alternative…All we need to do is to post signs and position manned trucks at key points…Warning: Use of deadly force authorized.”

If the virtual fence is not an option, one has to wonder why our government does not construct a virtual Chuck Norris to protect the border. Perhaps this is truly what Mr. Norris had in mind. Obviously, the proposal to use signs stating “Warning: Use of deadly force authorized” at the border was more of a theoretical recommendation than a literal one — because clearly “la advertencia: el uso de la fuerza Chuck Norris autorizada” or “Chuck Norris no le desea aquí” would’ve been better choices.
