What To Do With an Annoying Neighbor

What To Do With an Annoying Neighbor

What do you do with an annoying neighbor? Ignore them, of course, insofar as you can.

But, what do you do with a neighbor who isn’t just annoying but who climbs over your fence? Well, ignore them the first time and after that speak sternly to them.

Yeah, fine, but what do you do if they persistently climb over your fence and poison your dog, steal your garden tools, threaten your family, and generally wreak havoc in the neighborhood? Well, short of shooting them on the spot, you could call the cops and you might consider visiting the neighbor and laying down the law.

Republican Texas Governor Rick Perry has one of those havoc-wreaking neighbors. We all do. The neighbor is Mexico where the government has demonstrated that not only can it not control its criminal elements but actually encourages its citizens to continue trespassing on our turf but provides maps, sustenance, and tips for those millions of invaders on how to evade capture by those gringos to its north.

Governor Perry wants to pay neighboring Mexico a visit–via the United States’ militar, although he couches his suggestion in politician-ese, saying on MSNBC, “I think we have to use every aspect of law enforcement that we have, including the military. I think you have the same situation as you had in Colombia.”

Then comes the politician-ese, “Obviously, Mexico has to approve any type of assistance that we can give them” and offers his rationale: “But the fact of the matter is, these are people who are highly motivated with money. They are vicious. They are armed to the teeth. I want to see them defeated. And any means that we can to run these people off our border and to save Americans’ lives we need to be engaged in.”
