Re: Patrick Cleburne’s article Border Commission: Rubio Fooled Limbaugh By Lying About Mandate

From: Don Reynolds [Email him]

I appreciate the way Patrick Cleburne called out Rubio on the newest lies.

But Cleburne did not touch on what must be an important point.....Any Commission of the Governors of the Border States to oversee, or comment, or improve border security is simply insane. The first prime example is

• Janet Napolitano, the former governor of Arizona (now Secretary of Homeland Security). When she was governor she vetoed bill after bill passed to deal with illegal immigration.

I am sure you remember and yes, they have a better governor now.

• The former governor of Texas was George W. Bush, who was without a doubt the biggest cheerleader for amnesty for illegal aliens.
• The current governor of Texas, Rick Perry, thinks the rest of us are cruel for not giving preferential treatment to illegal aliens by passing the Dream Act.
• The former governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson, is himself Hispanic and his views on open borders are well known.
• The present governor of New Mexico is Miss Martinez and her Lt. Governor is Mr. Sanchez.
• The governor's office of California is even more Hispanic influenced, currently by moonbeam Jerry Brown and before that Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was himself an immigrant.

Do we want the governors of the Border States to get control of border security? Absolutely NOT. The Hispanic politics of the Border States are too far advanced, and too far gone, to be expected to stop the invasion across the border. If anything, they would only make the situation worse for the other states, by encouraging other states like Alabama, North Carolina, and Iowa to take in more of their unwanted guests to get them off the welfare rolls of the Border States.
