Some of the Border states are asking from help from the federal government. They are having BIG issues with violence, crime and drugs that are spilling over the border. Some are asking for Drones. Some are asking for the National Guard. But just about all are asking for some kind of federal assistance in dealing with the excelating violence that is hitting border cities. Murder is up. Kidnapping is up.Crime is up. Drug Cartels are to blame for just about all of it. But so far nothing has been done. It seems there is some arguements in Washington about how or if it can be done. We have a "war on drugs" right? LOL. Well then why are we not supporting the border states and helping to keep these drug cartels out of our cities? Some states have been screaming for help sence 2006 with the growing problems with the cartels. That is four years. Why is nothing being done? Is the adminstration and the last one scared that the national guard on the border would upset Mexico? Is that more important than stopping the cartels and the violence? What do you think needs to be done to help the border states battle the Drug Cartels?

People have been screaming for help with this problem for years but our president and congress set in their plush offices and suck their thumbs saying I don't know what to do...... Untiil they close the borders they will have this problem and until the government inforce the laws that are on the books will will continue to have the problem. They think that if we just stupid and if they don't do anything we will stop yelling about it......Face it we have a bunch of do nothings in Washington D.C. but I've got news for them as long as we have freedom of speech I'm going to scream my lungs out 'SEAL THE BORDERS."

I don' know if sealing the borders will help at this point. It has gotten too big. I think the national guard is going to have to be called out.

Don't we have violence in America with or without illegals? Why are we acting like if their the only one's committing these crimes? Why do we keep saying that they don't pay taxes? What states in the Unites States of America does anyone have the privilege of buying anything and not paying taxes? I do agree that something had to be done. But, boy oh boy did they write this law out of anger. Hispanics have become the scapegoat of the economy. Are we really going to blame Hispanics for the economy? I mean lol it is adsorb to say that they are the reason that our economy or our jobs are taken or less, which by the way that's prety sad if you say that you are unemployed because of Hispanics! as most of their jobs are jobs that most american's will never do. Would you take a 6hr job?? Maybe even 5hr? I'm sure many of you will disagree with me, and that is all right. But, attacking one group instead of making it for everyone is ridiculous and in times that we need to be at peace and figure out how to get out of this hole we are in, don't seem like the brightest thing to do to me. My opinion anyways. Good night.
