Napolitano touts safety of US border communities

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.

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.

WTF?

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."

Go live there, you pre-convicted traitorous super-villain.


Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

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.

I saw her reading her little scriped BS. She mispronounced the word officials. It sounded like offahshawls. She didn’t sound strong, just delusional.

I suggest that she moves into an apartment near the El Paso Zoo. She may change her mind.

( Napolitano touts safety of US border communities )

Political Campaign propaganda.

Can see it now during a reelection campaign commercial Obama using Big Sis Janet's words touting how that it was they who made us much safer... Sarcasm.

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.
