(Reuters) - Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Monday warned Mexico's drug cartels that any attempt to bring their violent tactics across the border would produce a powerful reaction.

The Obama administration has been under intense pressure to beef up security along the southwest border to prevent spillover from raging drug cartel violence in Mexico as well as to stem an influx of illegal immigrants.

"So today I say to the cartels: Don't even think about bringing your violence and tactics across this border," Napolitano told an audience at the University of Texas at El Paso.

So the paper tiger is going to whip them with a wet noodle. I’d like to see that. Maybe she’ll sell tickets to pay off the national debt. LOL

Any comments from the widows and children of our dead Border Patrol Agents?

I haven't heard a threat so vague and empty since Ehud Olmert left Israel's Prime Minister's office.

Report: "U.S. warns Mexican cartels on cross-border violence"

Response: When the violence comes, and it will, representatives of the American government will, stomp their feet, flap their hands, and cluck cluck ferociously.

Comment: Our "representatives" both elected and appointed are probably receiving so much drug money that they could retire in one month. It is only greed that keeps them in a position to keep getting the funds.

That's exactly right.

"I will be forced to warn you once again. I may even speak harshly, perhaps unkindly.

If that does not work, I may be forced to ask your Mommies to send you to your rooms without dessert."

Don’t even think about bringing your violence and tactics across this border. You will be met by an overwhelming response. I will plaster life-sized posters of me in a thong bikini all over your towns.

Napolitano is really working on behalf of the Drug Cartels

Anyone not willing to shut down the border, deport all the Illegal Aliens, and end NAFTA, are just aiding and abetting the Drug Cartels.

Just recently, Napolitano and Obama just allowed Mexican trucks to start driving in America again....a boon for Mexican Drug Cartels and coyotes running Illegals

The woman is a (pardon me) friggin’ idiot. It has already happened. How so much stupid could wind up concentrated in one place, washington dc, is baffling.
