A matter of time

The law is a rule socially accepted; when somebody breaks this law the guilty must be punish to make him/her pay and show the people in general what could happen if they do the same, but what happen if we are not able to make the law be fulfilled? What can the government of Texas do by itself if the disease is stronger than the cure? I found this interesting article in the Austin American Statement written by Todd Staples, actual Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Who stated clearly the need of the federal law getting involve in the issues occurring lately in Texan border, consequence of the drug war. It's a fact that the Mexican criminal groups outnumbered and outgunned the Texan law enforcement and border patrol.

Mr. Staples is trying to grab the attention of the Texan people, The federal government and specially the president attention. His main idea is alarm the public in general about something that is already visible in our city and also get some support to work on the searching of solutions to such a big problem growing and becoming right now a trend to the Lone Star State. The article's author, as an agriculture commissioner of Texas, represents a good source of credibility, not only for his tittle but also because he is a current activist on this matter creating last march a web page (ProtectYourTexasBorder.com) to inform the world about the daily issues Texans are going through because of this war. Likewise he used dates an places to support his article point referring to some cases of violent attacks on U.S. citizens few months ago.

I support his point of view 100% we need a more active support from the federal government on the immigration issue the country is facing and particularly Texas. The law should be applied right now, not until things get worst, we can't wait to see the snow ball effect. Finding a solution to such a complicated topic will take time, a lot of effort and maybe some drastic changes. From my side, I would say that one of the vital parts of the organized crime is the drug trafficking; the legalization of marijuana could be a huge strike to the underground business making this war winnable.
