"Texas wrote an amicus brief in support of the Arizona law, and the Governor expressed an opinion that the law was not “necessarily right approach for Texas.” That’s not exactly condemnation of the law. As with the Arizona law, few of us know what the “bi-national health care” reference meant. Too many people rely on the media and sound bites rather than looking for original sources. As to the binational health care - it was a study on the feasibility of changing State law to allow private insurance companies to sell policies that would be good on either side of the border for people who move travel back and forth. Unfortunately, it was a study only and the law has never been changed.

For the Americans who live on the border, those with familiy ties on both sides and the “snow birds and seniors who enjoy the warmer weather and cheaper cost of living, the insurance would have been great.

Free-market solutions to a problem are good.

The drug cartels have pretty much killed the trips across the border to visit or shop.

The fence is not the best way to control 1200 milesbof a winding river — especially in the rural farm and ranches. Besides: The land is privately owned on the US side and none of us want the government commandeering our land.

Houses are cut off from the rest of the US, and cattle can’t get to the water or farmers lost their ability to irrigate.

And then, there are these big gaps every so often, with open gates or no gates. Also, the fence is only 10- 12 feet high. Trucks with ladders negate the usefulness.

What is needed are more border patrol personnel, more planes flying over and a stricter policy on meeting violence with the force of a nation that intends to protect its borders.

But, like the poorly designed, spit-and-a-promise fence, the feds and the federal courts prevent local law enforcement from taking up the slack. School districts are forbidden from even identifying the children of illegals in schools. We’ve managed to hold off on Medicaid for illegals, but our ERs pay the price, literally. And now, Obama’s administration has announced they don’t intend to require proof of citizenship for the “public option” of Obamacare.
