Not only is this administration unwilling to secure our southern border but now we know that they will prevent states from protecting themselves. I am disappointed that the federal government has forced Arizona between a rock and a hard place. 
While the border is the federal governments responsibility its our problem. The 2011 legislative session gives Texas a chance to lead and pass laws that protect our citizens and our economy.
-- Dan Patrick Republican State Senator from Houston commenting on todays Arizon Immigration Law announcement
