EL PASO, Texas Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Monday that U.S. communities on the border with Mexico are safer than most Americans believe, but also warned Mexican drug cartels they'll be "met by an overwhelming response" should they move north.
Napolitano told an audience at the University of Texas at El Paso just across the Rio Grande from Ciudad Juarez and the unprecedented wave of drug-fueled violence engulfing it that it's "inaccurate to state, as too many have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control."
"This statement, often made only to score political points, is just plain wrong," said Napolitano, who was governor of Arizona before being confirmed as Homeland Security secretary in 2009.

WTF?
D truly is for ‘Delusional’.
Nappy is sitting in some office in Washington D.C. being clueless. She’s an idiot.
Let’s get her to live in the barrio in El Paso for a year...without a security detail.
Incompetano Ping.
She is a lying POS.
If she loses her current gig, she could certainly do stand-up comedy.
Preach it long enough and hard enough and everyone will believe it ... something Goebbels preached back in the day.
I agree. We’ve got dead ranchers and other living along the border down here to prove it.
It's the Obama agenda on steroids!
Mexico - anarchy and war - 95% of crimes unpunished - executions skyrocket
"More than 95 percent of the crimes committed in Mexico go unpunished," said Mr. Nahle Garcia, a member of Commission on Public Security in the Chamber of Deputies.
Obama's 'Hispanicazation' of America
Snip: Increasingly vicious foot soldiers of the Mexican drug cartels are taking control of U.S. lands along the border, especially since U.S. Border Patrol units have been reassigned, some to offices 60 to 80 miles inland.
Hezbollah uses Mexican drug routes into US
Hezbollah is using the same southern narcotics routes that Mexican drug kingpins do to smuggle drugs and people into the United States, reaping money to finance its operations and threatening U.S. national security, current and former U.S. law enforcement, defense and counterterrorism officials say.
Congresswoman raises red flag on Hezbollah-cartel nexus on US border
Snip: She said gang members in prisons in the American southwest are starting to show up with tattoos in Farsi, implying a "Persian influence that can likely be traced back to Iran and its proxy army, Hezbollah."
What?? I thought the border was dangerous because unscrupulous, evil America has been supplying guns to drug lords in Mexico? Now the line is that the border is perfectly fine?
Can’t have it both ways, Nappy. But then again, you probably do.
Ping!
That’s Nappy ... as delusional now as she was as our Governor.
I saw her reading her little scriped BS. She mispronounced the word officials. It sounded like offahshawls. She didn’t sound strong, just delusional.
For...the oligarchs...”the Border” is the DC Beltway....
This ugly old windbag will say any old lie that pops into her head. She is a bad liar. An awful liar. Obama is a liar but at least he does it with some skill
In other words...Janet says: Okay, Mexico, We’ll cede border towns/cities to you, but we double dare you to cross the line and head north. And America, better learn Spanish.
