BORDERS: Protecting them a top priority

Protecting our nation's borders and thus its sovereignty is the main responsibility of the federal government. The federal government has not considered this a priority for the last 25 years. Illegal Mexican nationals are destroying our border states. 

I salute the leadership of the State of Arizona for taking this legal, lawful, and necessary action. President Obama should support and learn from Arizona instead of criticizing them.
