Richardson's Border Debacle

What's really going on at the border ? Doesn't our government also have a duty and an obligation to protect American citizens at home and abroad? And, if so, why don't the governors call out the National Guard ?

It would seem Richardson and Napolitano are interested only in the political benefits they might derive from posturing over this travesty.
Richardson won't call out the New Mexico Guard and he's against a wall. Why? Because, "that sends a message that America is not valuing immigrants," he told ABC.

What a crock! First of all, the only people interpreting it that way are those who want the invasion to continue and secondly, what kind of message is Richardson sending to American citizens? The same devisive one he has always sent since he was in the House, talking about illegal immigration being "unfairly attacked". American Patrol has one of his infamous quotes posted.


The Mexican staging area for illegal aliens that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson demanded this week be bulldozed is among hundreds of similar sites along the border sponsored and maintained by the Mexican government.
Many of the sites are marked with blue flags and pennants to signal that water is available. Others, such as the Las Chepas site that Mr. Richardson denounced, are a collection of old, mostly abandoned buildings or ranch houses where illegals gather for water and other supplies -- sometimes bartering with smugglers, or "coyotes," for passage north.
Las Chepas, law-enforcement authorities said, also is a center for drug smugglers looking to move marijuana and cocaine into the United States.
Rafael Laveaga, spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington, yesterday said his government "has a duty and obligation by law to protect Mexican citizens at home and abroad."

Politics suck. Posturing, positioning, lobbying, gambling, drinking, prostitutes. Nasty profession. Someone needs to stand up tall on the border issue before its too late. And I mean TALL!
