...Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. Over the past three years, the number of illegals streaming across the border has remained constant. They come from Mexico, where a third of the people live on $2 a day or less, and from other countries where poverty, national disasters and political upheaval unleash an exodus of refugees. Since the early 1990s, the border patrol has partly sealed the California frontier with its operations "Hold the Line" and "Gatekeeper."

...conflict, martial lightning bolts--actually oxygen-iodine lasers--will blow the missiles from the sky before they ever get close to their targets. The Air Force wants to outfit a fleet of 747s with lasers. These "Warbirds" could explode enemy missiles shortly after launch, well before they could unleash their batches of warheads on American soldiers or local civilians.
