A former civics teacher now working as a paid goon helped to draw attention to an issue of which the Beagletorial staff was previously unaware. Tom Tancredo, of the Know Nothing Party (see Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York), is being replaced, so to speak, with a younger, livelier hotshot from the rocky mountain west (presumably with some support from the appalachian mountain west) who wants to round up all the undocumenteds and put them in tents surrounded by barbed wire (bob wire to you).
He tried to say this was the same as what the Western Governors Association came up with, but Bill Richardson and Janet Napolitano weren't the only ones to take offense. His old boss -- Jon Huntsman Junior -- also said that wasn't what he had in mind. The Deseret News helpfully explained that it wasn't the kind of tents you get at Cabela's, but more sturdy, industrial strength-type institutional tents, apparently suitable for desert living in Utah behind bob wire.
"These tents are being used in Idaho, Florida, Texas, Hawaii and even in Washington County," Jason Chaffetz said (to the Deseret News). "I keep getting tripped up by the word 'tent.' I could do better if I called them eco-friendly, highly portable, innovative structures."
Apparently that clarification was sufficient for him to pick up all the green voters in his district.
