The problem with violence down there is 10000% caused by OUR country and it's "War On Drugs" that makes it a gold mine to smuggle drugs into the U.S. Just like alcohol prohibition had the unintended consequence of causing so much gang violence...when prohibition was lifted, the violence stopped.

Anyway, with that said...the Governor of Arizona does have a point. I saw her on the news the day after she met with Obama. She said that day that he promised to get back with her in 2 weeks with a solid plan. She said that she was looking forward to it and was hopeful.

Looks like he never got back with her, and instead had those signs put up. Typical Washingon "do nothing" move.

That's why she's pissed.

If I were all of you, I'd be pissed that since the beginning of this country poor Mexican immigrants crossed our borders and harvested our vegetables and fruit. And now because of our governments INSISTENCE on controlling what you and I can use to party on a weekend...violence has erupted.

And in the end what will happen? They will put TROOPS on OUR border! And build a wall.

Wasn't it just 20 years ago that President Reagan stood in front of the Berlin Wall and demanded it be taken down? I spent my childhood of the 1960's and 1970's in school being taught that it was evil and that people with walls were NOT free!

So now it's all cool? And we build a wall but we are the "good guys"?

I'm sure the Soviets felt that way too.
