Real danger on southern border

It is so strange to think that our neighboring country could be real danger on southern border harboring such violence. A lot of people think to themselves “I’m glad I’m not in Texas” but what about us who live in Texas. We are right next door to all the chaos in what was one of the most beautiful countries for tourism, not to mention that it is also very close. I agree with the warning the U.S. State Department has issued to the Americans that we should avoid Mexico because of the dangers that it presents to us. We should try to keep to travel to places that we will be comfortable walking around in. Who wants to wait for something bad to happen to them in Mexico. The drug cartels in Mexico are killing people without a care in the world just to protect their trade. It’s like saying “If you’re not with us your against us”. I believe the drug cartels have waged war on anyone who threatens their trading and Americans do just that. At the border itself people are constantly being found murdered and drug cartels are sneaking these killers and drug dealers over into our country and one of the first stops is Texas. Governor Rick Perry is making a good decision in trying to protect American people especially Texans. Why should wait on the federal government when people are already dying and violence is spilling over in our country. As it is said “prevention is better than cure”.
