Local Solution to National Problem

Attempts by Mexican illegals to enter the U S across the Mexico-Arizona border was cut in half (400 to 200 ) do to a grass-roots uprising in Arizona about a week ago. Approximately 1000 civilian volunteers with guns, binoculars and communication devices are helping to spot illegals and report them to the U S Border Patrol for a quick arrest.

Could it be that simple? Local people getting involved to solve a national problem that the politicians in Washigton won't address effectively. Surely Vicente Fox,the president of Mexico, is calling his man in Washington George W Bush about the inconvenience.

All politics are local. Why pay two politicians?One lives in Washigton and the other lives locally.Its time to take back the power of Washington over local affairs.
