Anyone who says that a desire to secure our southern border is born of racism is a liar.  This is exactly why we need a fence much like Israel has deployed (and that the new Democratic majority has basically sworn not to fund) that will not only stem the flow of drugs and people but help the border patrol monitor the border more effectively:

 A U.S. Border Patrol entry Identification Team site was overrun Wednesday night along Arizona's border with Mexico.

According to the Border Patrol, an unknown number of gunmen attacked the site in the state's West Desert Region around 11 p.m. The site is manned by National Guardsmen. Those guardsmen were forced to retreat.

It wouldn't be the least bit surprising if some of those gunmen were Mexican federalis escorts.  We are having armed excursions coming across our border from which we are retreating. 

In the meantime, you can do your part by helping Texas monitor their border via the web.  Or even volunteer to be a border observer with the Minutemen Project.
