I've recently been reading letters in the JM regarding Gary Jacobsen's opinion pieces and most of the letters are rather negative, so this morning I decided to give Jacobsen a chance. Obviously, he is very pro-illegal and writes of poor old Juan Valdez and his arduous journey from his pathetic life in Central America, etc. etc. When, at the end of the article, I read what "Juan" had penned on a piece of paper provided by a police officer, these words, "wet-foot, dry-foot", all I could say was "WHAT THE HELL??" Please, can one of my BB's (Blog Buddies) help me out here? What does this mean? I've never heard the expression, "wet- foot, dry-foot" before, so somebody please enlighten me.

I'm like you yesterday. I don't what I can say that wouldn't get me banned from bvbl. This "no man's land" exists with all neighboring counties. This is good for criminals, I guess. However, it doesn't do one thing good for the law abiding citizens. I'm sick that a girl age 11 would have to have her mother escort to the bathroom. These parents are doing their children NO FAVORS by have unkowns living with them. I wonder if they share houses with strangers in their countries of origin. Anyone know? Where's Social Services in the case of the roach infested house. This unhealthy living conditions for anyone, and certainly for innocent children. I could go on and on, but I will stop for now. Bridget,

I live on the Arlington side - sad but true. The border areas between counties seem to become a sort of no-man's land where each county dumps its unwanted urban blight.
