Danger in Southern Border:

              The increasing danger in southern border is a big concern today. The toll of American citizen death has been raised and it is absolutely insecure in the southern side of the country. The increasing activity of drug cartels in Mexico and the inability of Mexican government to control them have created an unrest and indefinite violence in bordering city in Mexico. American citizen are followed and targeted as a result of the violence.

             Considering the ongoing violence in Mexico the Texas Department of Public Safety has warned students to avoid Mexico for their spring break. Also the fedral government has put Mexico on the list of danger to travel. The recent attack to US consulate, numerous unresolved cases of attacks to US citizen, confrontation of law enforcement by drug cartels members with automatic weapons and grenades are some recent proof of insecurity. The violence may have started in Mexico but we will ultimately be affected by that down the road. We Texan being the bordering state should be more concerned.

             Rick Perry criticized the federal government heavily, for its lack of concern in the border . He argued that it is not just the matter of immigration policy but it is matter of American life. Perry said he has recently increased the presence of law enforcement officials in the border as a state effort to control the violence and stop it on the other side of border before it gets to Texas. Perry says that’s not enough and we need more help from the federal government to save life of Texan.

             I chose this editorial because I want all the people to be aware of increasing illegal activities in Mexico-Texas border. Perry says it is not a politically charged debate about the finer points of immigration policy but it is about protecting lives. I completely agree with him and I expect all the people to know about it. This article has a lot of credibility .The author has tried to make the people conscious and alert in this matter. He has used logic, facts and statistics to add more value in his article.

Guns to be allowed in National Parks

According to < http://www.statesman.com/news/nation/guns-to-be-allowed-in-national-parks-257888.html?cxtype=rss_nation>our federal government has declared that visitors of the national park could carry guns with proper permits and could pack firearms along with the campaign and picnic gears to most of the 392 parks. National Park Service has said that visitors could be able to carry concealed and loaded guns into the Parks. And Texas law has permitted to carry concealed weapons.

I think the decision of the government allowing guns to national parks is a doubtful and insecure decision. We have seen so many incidents of misusing the gun in the past. I think permitting the guns in the National Parks is inappropriate. I personally do not think there would be necessicity of carrying gun inside a park. I did not find any specific reason why our local government had to permit such law.

I chose this article so that more people would know about the recently implemented law by our government about carrying gun in National park.
