DHS Secy Janet Napolitano told a crowd at the University of Texas at El Paso that it is inaccurate to state, as too many have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control. She continued: This statement, often made only to score political points, is just plain wrong.
Perhaps Napolitano has not spoken to, nor ever heard of the Burns family in Brooks County, Texas, who have been forced to pack up and leave their 38,000 acre ranch because the area has become a war zone, thanks to the Mexican drug cartels and illegal aliens crossing on or near their property on a daily basis. The Burns family home has been broken into, their land littered with garbage and the distinct sounds of gunfire can be heard from their front porch.The ranch, which is located 60 miles from the Mexican border runs alongside Farm Road 755, which local law enforcement calls a main smuggling corridor for the cartels.

(2) faking victimization;
(3) secretly revving up internal conflicts;
(4) play-acting the ignoramus;
(5) claiming they can't "control" their enemies without US money;

The unfortunate Burns family better watch out that the reconquistas don't takeover their land using ancient history as an excuse.
Just like last night on the news. I can’t remember who the official was. Someone from the state dept I think. Anyway, he said the Egyptian protesters had been peaceful....what a BIG FAT LIE. Over 100 people have been killed, and I think it was over 300 hurt. Including the news guy from Foxnews and his camera man. Both beaten bloody. Peaceful my b*tt.
