U.S. border policy: Long live


balance, not baloney I


WASHING-
TON- George
Washington is
said to have
described
Congress's
functions as
the hot tea of
the House
poured into CLARENCE
the cooling PAGE
saucer of the
Senate. On
the volatile issue of immigra-
tion, a saucer may not be
enough. A chilled dinner plate
sounds more like it.
 A taste of how low the
debate can go spilled out
when Rep. Dana Rohrabacher
(R-California) LI,',_lILd that
we give jobs now held largely
by illegal aliens to convicts. "I
say, let the prisoners pick the
fruits!" he said.
 Ah, yes, involuntary servi-
tude. I think we tried that
once before in America.
Didn't work out.
 Yet, even a remark
as memorably goofy as
Rohrabacher's stumbles onto
a troubling truth: If we did
look to prison workers to save
certain industries, we would
find an unfortunately growing
labor pool.
 America's porous borders
and bulging prisons both stem
from a dirty little open secret:
Our national desire to live life
on the cheap.

CHEAPER YET
 Yes, it's cheaper, at least
in the short run, to lock up
people after they commit
crimes than to invest earlier in
the lives of poor, undereducat-
ed children, long before they
spiral downward into lives of
crime.
 And it's cheaper for con-
sumers to give a wink and a
nod to massive illegal immi-
gration, as long as it helps
them to avoid paying more for
restaurant meals, produce,
home construction and vari-
ous domestic services like


nannies, housekeepers and
gardeners.
 Republicans, notable as
they usually are for lockstep
party discipline, are divided
over immigration because
the country always has been
deeply divided on immigra-
tion. We're a nation of
immigrants, voluntarily or
involuntarily, who never have
been quite sure of how many
new immigrants are enough -
or what kind of immigrants
will make the best Americans.
Even Benjamin Franklin, who
later would enlist German
help with our Revolutionary
War, railed in 1751 against the
,%\\,rm of German immi-
grants he feared would make
Pennsylvania "a Colony of
Aliens."
 In a far more relaxed
time, the 1986 Simpson-
Mazzoli law legalized three
million illegal immigrants in
a mass amnesty, accompanied
by new employer sanctions
and other get-tough measures
that didn't stay tough very
long. Now, 20 years later,
Congress finds itself grappling
with an estimated 11 million
more illegal immigrants and
an unexpected but under-
standable opposition to
President Bush's proposed
plan to allow temporary
gLIL "i Ni,'rkL r, 'to take "jobs
Americans don't want."
Again, we're talking about
cheap. If the president were
being candid, he would say,
"jobs Americans don't want at
the low wages that illegal
workers will eagerly accept."

REVEALING
 In a revealing sign of the
times, Bush's plans have run
into a stalemate in Congress
between its two most powerful
factions: Republicans vs.
Republicans. House
Republicans in December
passed a get-tough bill that,
among other breathtaking

h we all long for them,
 lust after them, women
 hate and fear them,
many of them hate themselves,
but loose women are a perma-
nent part of society.
 Loose women leave their
musk, their perfume and instil
fear in other women, merely
because of their sheer poten-
tial to take away their men
from them, real or imagined.
Loose women are the stuff
that legends are made, they
are the subject of male gossip
and the stories and accom-
plishments last forever.
 "Say what, she could do
what, and for how long, and
-,i l t' c t ''
 Every young lad remem-
bers that special girl from high
school days who left her mark
on him, and others, and oth-
ers, and others. Loose women
are the subject of graffiti, the
poetry of the streets and bath-
rooms.
 "For a really great time,
call Lurline, she can suck a
golf ball through twenty feet of
garden hose."

PURPOSE
 Loose women serve their
purpose and are here to stay.
Even in the Bible loose
women held centercourt, as
when one was about to be
stoned, Jesus rebuked the
mob with the now famous
line, "He who is without sin,
cast the first stone."
 Loose women are the
object of desire of males of all
ages, from young boys just
approaching puberty, to mid-
dling men, single, married or
in between, to the older
males, who now have the
dubious distinction of having
dirty placed before their
names, to wit, Dirty Old Men.
Loose women have them lust-
ing.
 If it wasn't for loose
women, many boys would
never know what it is to expe-
rience sex. Say what you will,
but many fathers still intro-
duce their sons to sex via the
route of loose women. Other
boys get the experience from
girls with a less than
respectable reputation.
 "Hey, just go check Easy
Eloise, she will let off for a
cream.
 Loose women fill a niche.
When a man wants a fling


 with no com-
 mitment, he
 seeks out a
 loose woman.
 SAfter all, a
 good woman
 will want a
 long term
 i t relationship
 TONY with all the
 ROBINSON trappings,
 pitfalls and
 emotional
baggage, things he does not
need. If he did, he'd just stay
with his wife. Loose women
provide a relief with no strings
attached.
 Loose women are more
likely to have one night
stands, although many so
called good women have also
indulged in this practice. The
irony is, usually after a one
night stand, a good woman
instantly becomes a 'loose
woman'. A loose woman does
not care about reputation, and
may even juggle two or three
men at the same time.

GRATIFICATION
 Loose women exist for
instant gratification; loose
women appear in porno
movies and may even become
huge stars. Where would that
industry be without loose
