Governators to Protect the Borders

Yes, that's Ahnuld posing in Terminator gear along with some of the governors of US-Mexican border states including, but not all pictured: New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Baja California, Sonora, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas, who met at the 26th Annual Border Governors Conference.

The governors have joined forces to find solutions to the problems that plague the border states and to have an "efficient border," says Schwarznegger. The top priority is to stave off organized crime, which in turn runs the drugs through Mexico to the United States, Mexico's biggest concern according to Nuevo León governor, Natividad González. Schwarzenegger blames the federal government and says they must have help to stop the human and weapons trafficking. All those involved are hoping that their united determination to control the borders of their own states will decrease the crime that passes through them. Every year, 250 million people cross the US-Mexico border. This makes it the busiest international border in the world.

I wonder if the Terminator stood at San Diego border and greeted would-be traffickers if that would help?
