Border Security a Serious Issue Now

One of the many looming issues beyond health care is immigration. This article describes how Texas is having to expend enormous resources to secure large portions of our international border with Mexico. Though Gov. Perry has publicly denied federal bailout money, he would welcome funding to secure the border, and thus far Congress has not delivered. As we speak, Americans on our side of the Rio Grande are being harassed by Mexicans with ties to violent drug gangs. I hope that once the health care issue is somewhat resolved, Obama turns his attention to this issue that affects so many Americans.
