    It’s Only Fair

    Mexico patrols its southern border in the same way it objects to when the U.S. patrols its own. In this installment of “The Border” summer immigration series, we ask, "What does the U.S. owe Mexico and what does Mexico owe the U.S. in dealing with immigration?" Also, New York magazine authors weigh in on NYC etiquette and the quandaries it presents (A pregnant woman, a senior citizen and a handicapped passenger walk onto a full bus...); three resolutions on Iraq and still nothing's resolved and StoryCorps' David Isay drops by with new stories from Brooklyn.
