Border Violence Results in 21 Dead

By Douglas V. Gibbs

One of the many reasons for sealing the border, enforcing the law, and deporting illegal aliens is that by not doing so we are welcoming violence to our own nation. Yesterday, in a massive dispute between rival drug gangs only 12 miles from the U.S./Mexican border, 21 people were killed in a shootout.

Some of that violence has spilled over the border. Arizona has passed stricter immigration laws to protect themselves. The Federal Government's response has been to chastise Arizona.

Why does the federal government refuse to protect the states? Aside from the law breaking of the illegals by coming into this country illegally, and the terrorists also freely crossing the border, this drug gang violence is on our doorstep. It is only a matter of time before America becomes a war zone just like Mexico - and the only way to protect ourselves from it is to heavily enforce the border, and to make sure our laws are enforced - as Arizona is trying to do.

Gang violence near the Arizona border has become a regular occurrence, and has led to calls from officials in the U.S. state for greater control of the border and is one of the many reasons given for their recent immigration law passed in April requiring Arizona police to ask people about their immigration status in certain situations.

By Obama's Administration taking action against Arizona as it is, the President is basically telling the State "Screw you, we refuse to support your protection."

Perhaps these idiot Democrats should live in a hotel on the border for a while to see what the violence is really like. Maybe then, they will realize the danger our nation is in because of their incompetence, and refusal to enforce the law.
