If a state has a problem enforcing laws and keeping itself safe then it has the right to act on its own just as the rest of us do if police aren't helping. Arizona is doing what they need to do to shore up the border because the federal government sure is not doing anything at all.
Louisiana didn't wait for Obama and company to help them out, they went right to work on their beaches and enabled fishermen to use their boats to help with containment and cleanup. Had they waited for the feds to step in they would have been up to their neck in oil and in an even worse situation than they already were.
Tom, your mindset is that of we should look up to the federal government and let them do what they want because they know what's best. You would rather wait for a handout and hope things don't get worse rather than take matters into your own hands. If where you live was being threatened by lawlessness would you not want your state to act if the federal government wasn't doing anything about it?
This isn't about politics. This is about retaining our sovereignty, securing our country and potentially saving American lives on our very own soil.
