More money to protect Texan borders?

The Dallas Morning News, on September 30th, 2008, presented an article with an opening saying that Gov. Rick Perry wants $24 million to fight the gangs that are spreading like virus along the southern border.
This article sounds aggressive since Perry is using racist words. The way in which Gov. Perry is expressing may be offensive for some people because he is describing people, entering illegally, with a racist terminology. Also, is acting prematurely since he is trying to attract citizen’s attention now that his possible re-election is coming.
This article may not be favorable for Republicans now that elections are getting closer because this kind of arguments could be negative in favor for his party.
Although the article is well supported because most of the texts are in quotations, the author does not present the source of this information. Moreover, the author could have been more concerned in the audience. On the other hand, the author could seem as if he were in favor of Democrats exaggerating Perry’s speech to make people aware of what is coming if he were again Governor.
