Environmentalists are proposing a policy shift that would use the Missouri's dams to restore the river's traditional behavior, unleashing a surge of water southward in the spring and allowing the flow to dwindle in summer, as it once did. The plan has triggered a fiery debate, roughly pitting northerners, who benefit from the river's natural attractions, against southerners, ranging from barge haulers to farmers, who benefit from the river's commercial properties.

Politically, the current immigration regime is perceived by Mexicans as brutal, inhumane and an assault on their dignity, and that compounds a profound sense of resentment south of the border. The basic message Fox brought to Washington was that his is a new Mexico...
