Border Security

The governors of New Mexico and Arizona have declared a state of emergency on their borders with Mexico. Quoth the Fox:

In Mexico on Tuesday, President Vicente Fox, visiting the state of Sonora across the border from Arizona, urged United States officials to do more than sound alarms about the crime plaguing both sides of the border and to work with Mexican authorities on solutions. Mr. Fox called the crime problem a "shared responsibility for both governments."

"Instead of each of us working on our own sides," he said, "we must work together. That's the only way to win."

"There is organized crime here," Mr. Fox said, "and there is organized crime there. On this side and that side, there is drug consumption. The only solution is to work together."

Oh I see - now "working together" should be taken to mean "publishing guidebooks to help immigrants enter the United States illegally, and steal benefits away from honest American taxpayers".

With friends like that, who needs a foreign invasion?
