If Congress passes comprehensive immigration reform, it will depend on the Obama administration to enforce the law. How might that work? A glimpse of the future came recently, when the House Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security held a little- noticed hearing titled “Measuring Out- comes to Understand the State of Border Security.” Immigration reform depends on a secure border. Nearly every lawmaker pushing reform, and certainly every Republican, stresses that the border must be proved secure before millions of currently illegal immigrants can be placed on a path to citizenship. But how do you measure border securi- ty? For years, the government estimated the number of miles of the border that were under “operational control” and came up with various ways to define what that meant. Then the Department of Homeland Secu- rity threw out the concept of operational Public Forum control, which Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano called “archa- ic.” The administration How about a vote Our country and Constitution sion. one is required, by law, to look at promised to create some- were established by men of The following is what it says the cross or to pay it homage. thing called the Border on Mingus cross? strong religious and moral about freedom of religion: On the other hand, if our local beliefs.

I pack lunches every morning for three teenagers and my husband. More often then not, I’d get started and discover that the chips and snacks had already been eaten. So, I started packing “starter” lunch bags. When grocery shopping, LUANN I purchase enough chips, drink boxes and snacks for two weeks worth of lunch- es. I line all my lunch bags up on the counter and drop a drink box, chip bag and snack into each. I put one week of lunch bags in a box in my pantry and the sec- ond week’s bags in an extra closet. To pack a lunch, I pull out the number of bags I need and add fruit and a GRIZZWELLS sandwich to each. This has saved me a lot of time, money and frus- tration. My costs go down because the food is actual- ly eaten for lunches, and I am saved the frustration of trying to come up with lunch ingredients or the expense of giving everyone lunch money. — Evelyn, Colorado LESS PUMP, MORE SOAP.

The Miami Heat, not so been nearly much. unstoppable Those Lakers of 1971-72 won 17 games for Miami during that streak by 15 points or more. The Heat take more of a grind- it-out approach, often getting into trouble before flipping a switch and pulling away. “We’re going to get everybody’s best shot because of the streak,” Heat guard Mario Chalmers said. That’s why instead of savoring the 27 in a row they’ve already won, the Heat are bracing for perhaps one of the biggest road tests so far in their pursuit of those Lakers. Miami plays at Chicago tonight, a renewal of a rivalry that, on paper, certainly has lost some of the sparkle it had a year or two ago. The Bulls still don’t have injured point guard Derrick Rose back in the lineup and have lost 13 of their last 22 games. Still, the Heat expect a playoff-type, rough-and-tumble meeting. “Our historic run is about winning championships,”Heat star LeBron James said. “That’s what we want to be known for. It’s part of a process. Whatever comes in between that, we can be excited about it. We didn’t have a goal in mind to say, ‘Let’s go on a
