Senator John Cornyn of Texas says, "The time to act is now. These cartels already have a known presence in 48 states and the District of Columbia. Until Washington restores its credibility on border security more states will be forced to act much like Arizona did. Washington needs a sense of urgency, or many American families will lose their sense of security.
Border security isn’t just a border state problem, it’s a United States problem."
Today at the coffee shop I chatted with a woman from a beautiful ocean/lake/river area of Florida. She's lived there about 30 years, but originally came from this area of Ohio. In the last five years, she said, there's been a huge influx of crime from the Mexican drug cartels. She's very sympathetic with the Arizonans and believes there will be more laws like this if the federal government doesn't step up and do its job. Another customer chimed in about his area--Atlanta. It's not just Arizona's problem, folks, and we should thank Governor Brewer for bringing it to our attention.

Because the problem reaches as far as bucolic little towns in the PNW, I thank Gov. Brewer for having the courage to stand up to the bully in the White House. As per usual, when 1 person finally stands up a bully, others finally get some backbone, too. I know he expected her to back down - she showed other conservatives how they should have been behaving all along to the just-short-of-dictatorial actions of D.C.
