The land of good intentions

Hooray. The liberals have finally found a way to be partriotic without even realizing it. Due to their constant chattering and admonishment of U.S. soldiers in Iraq they've created a negative and distorted image, which has penetrated across the globe as a pretty nasty urban legend. In the case of law-breaking illegals crossing the Mexican border, that myth is actually coming in handy:

"Some migrants have told me they heard about the troops on television and, because the U.S. Army doesn't have a very good reputation, they prefer not to cross," Loureiro said, referring to reports of abuse in Iraq.

Of course, whenever those lefties realize their comments have backfired resulting in less illegal immigration, a reduction of trespassing and fewer people dangerously interfering with interstate commerce (hopping freights)...

Migrants in the region walk some 25 miles through the scrub-covered desert with summer temperatures often exceeding 100 degrees, and then hop on cargo trains to reach their destination.

...what will they do? Perhaps they'll start praising the troops and hoping for a reverse backfire effect. And of course, there's always the ole desperation play--just blame everything on Rove.

Such are the daily predicaments faced in the land of good intentions.
