Gov. Jim Gibbons is headed to the border this month for photo ops. The ostensible reason is to meet with Nevada National Guard troops, Mexico President Felipe Calderon and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano. The excursion supposedly is to gather information on enforcement of border laws, the flow of illegal immigrants, the problem of meth trafficking and moves to improve homeland security. But Gibbons can't fool me. This is the guy who once employed an illegal immigrant as a nanny and housekeeper - a labor document attesting to that was released during his campaign last year. His wife, Dawn Gibbons, signed the document. So this trip really is just the first lady sending the governor on an errand: They need new household help.
