That's one way to circumvent the feds...
Well, Democrats, Republicans and the Mexicans are all on board now to protect the US-Mexico border. I sure am sleeping easier tonight. How about everyone else?
Start here.
Indexed.
Ummm...did my governess' comments make any sense? States vs. States? Countries vs. Countries? How about, law-abiding vs. the lawless? Has that crossed your mind, Governor?
I loathe Republicrats.
that trash looks likes parts of Van Nuys
<SARCASM>
I feel safer already.</SARCASM>
nyahhhhhh.. 8-\`
We learned how many RINOs it takes to unscrew a light bulb.
It's disgraceful how Napolitano seems more beholden to Mexico than her own nation. There's no mystery where she stands on Proposition 200. Perhaps the Arizonans should have included a California-style recall measure.
Safer for who, the illegals?
This kind of makes sense. It's better than nothing, and it gets people on both sides of the border talking about security concerns in the USA rather than just one side.
We need to get to the place where everyone understands that Americans have a legitimate issue that needs to be resolved. If good diplomacy helps that, then it's fine with me.
Richardson, former Dept of Energy chief? Wasn't this the guy in charge when China stole all the nuke secrets?
And he wants to make our borders more secure?
...I got a nice bridge to sell ya..."...he, he, he....
They ought to just shoot the sobs for ILLEGALLY ENTERING THIS COUNTRY.
48 hours of that and there would be no Illegal Immigrant issue!
That's the only gang of people they give a crap about.
Note the bios of the "American" governors:
California -- an Austrian
Arizona -- from New York, came to Arizona 20 years ago to be a Federal attorney. Spent most of her time in federal office pursuing any white Anglo-Saxon Protestant she could find to pursue, while ignoring the largest concentration of Al-Qaeda cells in the country. Undoubtedly the first lesbian elected governor of Arizona, or any state for that matter.
New Mexico -- Born in Pasadena, but raised in Mexico City from the time he was one year old. Mother was Mexican. That is the country he's loyal to.
Texas -- Well, almost an American. But then, Mr. Perry did sign the illegal alien tuition bill. As far as I'm concerned, Texas left the Union that day.
The governors of these states have no right to make any international pact. It says so explicitly in Article 12 of the United States Constitution. A lot of them alleged in the fight over 187 that "a state can't make a law about immigration". It appears that they don't quite believe that now. Maybe that's because most of them aren't loyal to the United States, and have no idea what our Constitution says.
It doesn't make any sense at all, considering that a) the governor of Arizona has no right to negotiate anything with regard to U.S. international borders, and b) she has no interest in the United States actually having a border with Mexico. She was elected by Mexicans in Arizona (her slim margin came from Pima County, where illegal voters probably accounted for half that margin), and her campaign manager -- a convicted fraudulent voter from East Los Angeles -- spends most of his time trying to get more Mexicans into the state to vote for her or he's down in Mexico getting orders from her superiors.
Napolitano is a freak show lesbian with a compulsion to control the hated white heterosexual population so that she and her psychotic friends can remove any barriers to their lifestyles. Her best vehicle for accomplishing that is to use the votes of alienated but naturalized Mexicans and illegal voters of the same descent. She's terrified of Arizona Proposition 200 because it cuts at the heart of her strategy by making alien vote fraud infinitely harder in Arizona.
Not one of these governors gives a rat's butt about the border or safety of the United States.
That sure seems to be the way politicians think today.
Thank you for putting things in perspective. She does sound like a new age holdover from a bygone era, one who is clueless about our need to regulate immigration.
If Jihadi NapaloRENO is involved you can bet there's no security and no legality.
Can that be?
Ahnuld is no taller than Rick Perry?
