A storm is gathering on the Mexican/American border, and it has the potential to make Hurricane Katrina seem tame by comparison. As it becomes clear to the residents of Arizona and Texas that Obama and the Democrats care less about the security of Americans than they do about getting votes from new immigrants, local residents are getting ready for war.
If you think that using the word "war" is hyperbole, take a look at this recent episode of Nightlline:

Focusing on one small town in Texas, Ft. Hancock, about 50 miles South of El Paso, the piece illustrates the frustrations, and anger, of the locals. They are getting fed up with violence, drugs, and heavily armed Mexican cartel members who are, quite literally, in their back yards. And they are not going to take it much longer.
With thousands of violent murders occurring within earshot of them, these people have just about had it. Worse, the citizens of Texas and other boarder states have seen that the Federal government is AWOL - and now that the Obama administration has decided to sue the State of Arizona (for doing what the the Feds won't do), they realize that it will be up to them to protect themselves.
Kudos to Nightline for doing what the Obama-run mainstream media won't do in illuminating the issue, but when the shooting starts, don't be surprised to see MSNBC and others try to paint the hardworking people who live on the boarder as "vigilantes" or "right-wing militia" members.
But this is war. And I have friends in both Arizona and Texas, and for most of them, war is
something they know more than a little about - Vietnam combat veterans,
former RECON Marines, and a few Special Forces types thrown in for good
measure. Today they are just farmers, ranchers, and business owners, but
they haven't forgotten how to fight.
Their view can best be summed up by a friend of mine who only a few
weeks ago said "When I joined the Marines I took an oath to protect and
defend this country...and I don't recall that it had an expiration
date..."
