The "dreamers", the rule of law & the aftermath of Mexico's election

Gov Perry made it clear today that Pres BO's executive decree won't play in Texas:

"Gov. Rick Perry has told state agencies that the Obama administration's new program allowing some illegal immigrants to avoid deportation is "a slap in the face to the rule of law," and clarified that Texas' immigration policies won't change.
In a letter dated Aug. 16 that was addressed and sent Monday to all agency heads individually, as well as to Attorney General Greg Abbott, Perry said he was seeking to "avoid any confusion on the impact of the Obama administration's actions." He added that the federal policy confers "absolutely no legal status whatsoever to any alien who qualifies."  (Perry)

Glad to see Gov Perry stand up for the rule of law.  He is right that Pres BO's executive decree is a slap in the face of the rule of law.

Meanwhile, everything is quiet and tranquil in Mexico after July's elections.  The opposition PRD has accepted results even if its Sr LO is still clinging to some hope that a judge will invalidate the election.

Mexico's new president won't take over until December 1st.  

Let's hope that the new presidents will get together and work on some important issues affecting the US-Mexico relationship.

First, we need to support Mexico's war against the cartels.  Mexico needs weapons and we should continue funding The Merida Plan started by Pres Bush in 2007.

Second, Mexico & the US need to revive the "brasero" program that was so successful in reducing illegal border crossings.   Third, Mexico needs to attract more investment.

Fourth, we in the US have to cut back on our consumption of illegal drugs.  The truth is that we are funding the cartels with our billions of dollars in drug use.
