Cape Cod is about as far from the Rio Grande as you can get, but Camp Edwards, the national guard base in Bourne, has become an unlikely flashpoint in the national debate over illegal immigration. That’s due to a proposal that the base host some of the immigrant children now crossing over the U.S.-Mexican border.
