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.
