La Shawn Barber reports Congresswoman Maxine Waters came out with a strong statement in favor of strong border security.

"Why isn't anyone talking about the Mexican Mafia (a gang of illegal Mexicans that controls the California prison system)?" she thundered. "I don’t care if you're pink or purple or white or black or brown, I want you out if you're committing crimes." [The Editors do not recall Ms. Waters making this point during the Los Angeles riots in 1992, but better late than never] "There is no excuse not to control the border," she said. "I'm a liberal with a capital 'L'," she said, "but I’m sick of it." (Source)

Next thing we'll hear, Barbara Boxer will call for oil drilling in ANWR, and Ted Kennedy will announce his support for a ten-percent flat tax.

The Republicans better get in front of the border security issue in a hurry or it could mean serious trouble for them.
