Laredo Mayor Betty Flores also has called for help from both the state and federal governments. "Laredo continues to have to protect its border on its own," Flores said. She criticized the federal Department of Homeland Security for failing to protect her city. "Their intent was to make the border safer, but it's not safer," she said. But Flores isn't inviting the Minutemen. "They're not welcome in Texas," she said. She says the problem needs to be addressed by professional law enforcement, and she worries that outsiders will discriminate against people on the border, most of whom are Hispanic. "It's hard for people from (Arizona) to understand how we feel about the issue," she said.

She won't trust people from Arizona to help solve her problem, but she does trust people from Washington, D.C? What-ever!

Meanwhile, where's President Bush? It's his "home" state. According to the story, kids can't ride their bikes and women can't go out at night. What's up with that? President Bush calls himself a "compassionate" conservative. Right now he's showing compassion for illegal aliens at the expense of law-abiding Americans.

I do believe Mayor Flores is concerned about the safety of these people.

This will draw more attention to the problems along the border. I hope no one gets killed by drug runners.

And I don't for a minute think President Bush is unconcerned about this problem.

Meanwhile, where's President Bush?

He's busy drinking (non-alcoholic) margaritas with Vicente Fox, toasting to the new "North American Union" that Americans don't want.
