(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.

She's thinking, "Well, it worked for President Bush against the terrorists, so I'll be tough too!"
the only problem is, nobody takes "Big Sis" or her lapdog, President Obama, seriously. Certainly not the drug cartels.

Hahaha. A sternly worded memo to narco terrorists who make Al-Qaeda look like boyscouts... in spanish, signed the dyke.
Boy, that’s telling them! I bet they are shaking in their boots!
Wait a minute, that's taking it a little too far. After all, this is the Gilded Age of Civility! lol
I’m sure the Zeta’s and the other cartel’s got a real kick outta this. they’re laughing it up big time. They’ve been kidnapping and killing in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and California (and beyond) for YEARS.
Border? They don’t see no stinking border! Gimme a break.
So has she been alseep the last two years. Good grief.
A powerful reaction would be a strongly worded protest on formal stationary in all caps.
The ultimate action would be imposing an embargo against their goods from being used in the White House.
“any attempt to bring their violent tactics across the border would produce a powerful reaction.”
Implying that it hasn’t already. This woman is certifiable.
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.

Export-Import Bank. This agency uses taxpayer dollars to subsidize
the financing of foreign purchases of U.S. goods. It makes billions
of dollars of preferential loans to foreigners, guarantees the loans of
private institutions, and provides export credit insurance. In 2007, a
Dallas television station (WFAA) discovered that the agency provided
$243 million in loans to bogus Mexican companies, including
drug cartels

Republican congressman Jeb Hensarling, of Dallas, asked for a congressional investigation as a result of the stories, but it never happened.
“I was very disappointed that the chairman of the House Oversight committee, two chairmen, have now ignored the pleas to launch an investigation on this,” Hensarling said.

Thanks for the information.
Response: Unfortunately, the elected officials reflect the American voter.
Pinal Sheriff - armed conflict with drug cartels coming soon
Armed conflict in Arizona between sheriff's deputies and heavily equipped drug cartel squads is inevitable, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said Tuesday during a speech in Ahwatukee Foothills.
The US government has literally become the enemy
The drug cartels are dancing with danger as armed conflict is inevitable as far as the sheriff is concerned complaining, The federal government has literally become an enemy who is fighting us, and I have not been afraid to fight them, he said. Sheriff Babeu is no friend of Janet Napolitano and took her to task as she tried to contend that the Arizona border is as safe as ever. A response that boggles the mind!
This is the garbage this sheriff has to put up from a woman who seems unresponsive to the dangers of the southern border sectors. Evidently, last year in the eastern portion of Arizonas two sectors, which includes Phoenix and Tucson, the US Border Patrol caught 241,000 illegals coming across. However, it is also estimated that an additional 400,000 illegals crossed undetected.
Close to 20 percent of which already have criminal records in America.
More importantly, a percentage of which are caught in Pinal county, are from countries other than Mexico, including countries of interest such as Yemen, Somalia, and Syria.

Mexican cartels buy Afghan heroin - drug wars claim 507 in 14 days
According to Borderland Beat (BB) Jan. 5, Mexican drug cartels have formed elaborate and strategic alliances with Middle Eastern drug traffickers, and those supply chains are also being used for arms trade and money laundering. BB obtained the report from El Universal, a major Mexican newspaper, and added that Mexican groups are also making inroads into European Union markets.
Ninety percent of the world's heroin supply comes from Afghanistan, and the shipments destined for Canada and the U.S. are very profitable to criminal groups in Mexico.

This really puts a lie to Napolitano. Obamas goal is to destabilize the Southern tier of states and bring on “revolution” to vanquish the US constitution.He has his joy now in watching his planned revolution happen in Cairo.
He plans for the same here in America.
“Mr. Jones, you are a despicable human being and scum. For you numerous depredations, I sentence you to death for your crimes. And if I ever see you in my court again, I shall sentence you to death as I have done previously.”
And if that doesn’t work, they’re threatening to send a letter.
LOL. That’s why they call her Janet Incompentino.
Had she been W or anyone in a Republican administration, all media would be wringing their hands over her daring the cartels to test her. Anyone remember the uproar over “bring it on”?
