New Mexico's governor Bill Richardson declared a state of emergency due to the lack of border control. Richardson claims there are drugs being smuggled in, cattle being attacked and crimes being committed due to illegal immigration.
Props to Richardson for taking this bold step. I say bold not because the people reject this plan but because his party and liberal base do not support closing the border. Of course the majority of Americans and especially us living in the border states completely support this move and welcome the rest of the border state governors to do the same.
This came after a huge battle in SoCal over illegal immigration. Unfortunately the hispanic left came out to call everyone who supports sensible border measures a racist. As an American of Mexican descent it embarrasses me to no end to see the hispanic left. Void of any arguments and reduced solely to name calling. I believe the majority of clear thinking hispanics want sensible border policies. Illegal immigration hurts Mexicans more than anyother group of people. This is because the legal immigrants must compete directly with illegal immigrants.
Anyone that lives in a state consumed by illegal immigration realizes that the illegal immigrants are taking jobs that Americans due want such as construction,
painting and landscaping.
Republicans should beware of the democrats outflanking them on immigration thereby taking many voters who care deeply about this issue.
