The border of the United States and Mexico is as dramatic a setting as you could ask for in a timely stage drama, particularly as our presidential contenders debate (or ought to be debating) immigration issues.

DUBLIN, NC—When you get a first look at Bladen County, they don't exactly seem to be hurting for space.
