MySA.com: Metro | State: "LAREDO — In response to the Department of Homeland Security's plans to construct hundreds of miles of fencing along the border with Mexico, the McAllen Chamber of Commerce started a campaign of their own: build a wall around Washington, D.C.
Steve Ahlenius, president and CEO of the chamber, inaugurated the tongue-in-cheek campaign through a news release Tuesday.
'It's frustrating to no end that Washington, which has no idea of what's happening here and along the border with Mexico, is proposing to build a wall,' Ahlenius said by phone. 'My response is: Why don't we just build around Washington, D.C.? It can protect us from some bad characters, some bad legislation and bad ideas.'
Additional materials related to the campaign will be forthcoming, he said."

It never ceases to amaze me that the people screaming loudest for immigration crackdowns and walls along the borders are those who live farthest away from said borders...
