Speaker of the House John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, has been adamant in the past about such reform bills, and he hasn't changed his mind. He's always talking about stopping the violence on our borders, and U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, a Texas Democrat recently took exeception to Boehner's rhetoric in a manner that reminds me of what we've all been talking about lately in Rocky Point.
He said, "As his office asserts that Congress cannot consider reforming our broken immigration system until border violence is under control, the fact remains that the six largest cities of Ohio all have higher rates of violence and crime than every major city along the U.S.-Mexico border."
According to data released by Reyes' office, Dayton's homicides -- city population 141,527 -- totaled 35 in 2010. Data indicates that in 2010, Texas' four major border cities -- El Paso, Laredo, Brownsville and McAllen -- totaled 26 homicides, according to the data.

Not that being confronted with facts will slow down the rhetoric, but I LOVE it!

Come for one day, a weekend or the whole event! You won’t be disappointed. And did I mention it's FREE?
Coming up in June:

The Rocky Point Fun Run promises to have it all: a Poker Run, Parade, Contests, Specials, and of course lots of loud music, hot bikes and hotter women... or was that hot women and hotter bikes? Either way, plan to come down on June 1-5 for a rousing good time!

Wake up every morning to shake off the sand, walk over and jump into the 75 degree water of the Sea of Cortez. Rent a jet ski and explore the beaches of Mirador, Sandy Beach and Cholla bay. Cruise the Fish Market or many of the late night activities they have planned. Traveling into or leaving from Phoenix? Their organizers will guide their caravan down into Mexico. Camping will begin when they arrive and will end at sunset on June 12th.
