NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA DECLARE STATE OF EMERGENCY - IS THIS A POLITICAL PLOY ?

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano have declared state of emergencies in their respective states due to the influx of illegal immigrants crossing their borders from Mexico. Since this is a true problem are these two Democrat Chief Executives actually trying to address the problem or make a political move in order to take advantage of a possible Republican weakness. Past records show that the latter may be more true than the former. For instance, Richardson has proposed providing drivers license for illegals and both states are seeking other means of legitimizing the status of the illegals without the first mention or addressing even the remote possibility of deportation for these lawbreakers. Yet both Richardson and Napolitano are now, (after the flood gates have been opened and the illegals are safe in the two states from any legal means to end their illegal entrance into this country), are trying to put this political foot forward and , "protect " their unprotected borders. Richardson has even gone on record as condemning the Minutemen and has stated that he would rather they not guard New Mexico's borders as they did in Arizona. The group plans to be on the New Mexico border soon and have attempted to talk to Richardson who today on the Shaun Hannity program said that he will not meet with them. The border issue is not a political basketball to be bounced around to gain favor with the American people. It is a very serious problem that demands action but not this type. The borders are the most vulnerable national security risk that we face and should be a non-partisan issue and not used for political advantage by either party! I've put a great deal of thought into this and tomorrow will share an idea that I plan to forward to the President, Senate , House and Defense Secretary. I will be interested in your thoughts and input when this idea is introduced in tomorrows post so please comment accordingly. Until tomorrow.
