BORDER SIGN FACES RETIREMENT


California highway signs that warn of illegal aliens crossing the roadway are no longer needed, the Border Patrol says. " A decade ago, the subject of those signs, illegal border crossers from Mexico, used to die by the dozens every year as they crisscrossed the freeways on their northbound treks to Los Angeles and elsewhere," the LA Times reports. " In their decade of existence, the signs--a stark silhouette of a man, a woman and a child running--have evoked more than a simple traffic threat. They have spawned countless souvenirs and artistic interpretations of the country's uneasy relationship with illegal immigration." "[T]hose signs are no longer necessary because of the infrastructure we've built on the border," the San Diego sector chief told the paper, noting the decrease in apprehensions after Operation Gatekeeper.
