A SOCIETY WITHOUT BORDERS

Inside a socialist society there would be no countries, no borders and no concept of "foreigners". Contrast that with the normal day-to-day existence of modern capitalism. "A high-tech "virtual fence" on part of the U.S. border with Mexico is finally ready for service and the technology can fight illegal crossings all along the frontier, the Homeland Security chief said on Friday. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff made the announcement during a review of border-control efforts, at which officials also unveiled higher fines for employers who hire illegal immigrants. ...President George W. Bush asked Congress this month for $775 million to build more fencing along the southern border and install high-tech surveillance equipment and other infrastructure." (Yahoo News, 22 February) RD
