Bush denounced over border violence


SANTA FE, N.M. - New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano accuse the federal government of doing little to find a permanent solution to immigration problems and violence along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The governors complained in a letter sent Tuesday to President Bush that the lawlessness along the border has been punctuated recently with killings that have impacted several Arizona and New Mexico communities, namely Columbus, N.M.
Several people have been killed in recent weeks in the Mexican border town of Palomas, just south of Columbus.
Richardson has sent more state police to the area, and leaders from the Mexican state of Chihuahua have pledged to increase police presence south of the border.
But Richardson and Napolitano, both Democrats, said the federal government is taking "no real action . . . to curb this violent and dangerous situation."
The two also voiced concerns about the number of National Guard troops along the border possibly being reduced this summer.
They said more Border Patrol agents need to be trained and assigned to the region and that legislation authorizing fencing along the border would not have prevented the recent violence.
The governors asked Bush to allocate funding for more border agents and security technology that could be used along the border.
New Mexico U.S. Sens. Pete Domenici, a Republican, and Jeff Bingaman, a Democrat, also spoke with Mexican Ambassador to the United States Arturo Sarukhan on Tuesday about the situation. They were told the Mexican army would move troops and equipment to the Palomas area.

It sure sounds like something out of "The Wizard of Oz" or a bad LSD trip.

Sis, you took the words right out of my mouth. Before I read your posts, I was about to ask the same question.....How could legalizing illegal aliens HELP SOLVE this and other problems?!

What an inept couple of losers those two are.

HOW DID WE GET SUCH A TOTALLY INCOMPETANT GOVERNMENT, I MEAN EVERYONE ( EXCEPT HUNTER AND TANCREDO)IT JUST BAFFLES THE MIND, IF WE JUST HAD A FEW , I JUDT DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, THE HELL WITH IT I'M GOING TO BED!!

2ndamendsis, you need to think like a politician.

Legalize all 33 million (or however many) illegal aliens, and

PRESTO CHANGO!!!

ILLEGAL maniac driver is no longer an ILLEGAL maniac driver!
He (or she) is now a LEGAL maniac driver!

ILLEGAL violent criminal is no longer an ILLEGAL violent criminal!
He (or she) is now a LEGAL violent criminal!

No more ugly statistics about illegal aliens causing accidents, stealing, raping, beating, and killing! Those columns of stats on the illegal alien reports are now all ZEROS! PROBLEM SOLVED! PRESSURE OFF!

NO MORE POLITICAL LIABILITY FOR THE SOCIAL COSTS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS, BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY!

Now why didn't you think of that? You, too, could have been a Washington bureaucrat or even (gasp!) a U.S. Senator!

SILLY ME!!

And I could have had such a fullfilling CAREER in the Hallowed Halls

I truly believe Bush does not care at all about the safety of any American. He is cold hearted and calculating!

Nothing this man says or does has anything to do with truth! Lies, lies and more lies!!!
