High-powered assault weapons illegally purchased under the ATF's Fast and Furious program in Phoenix ended up in a home belonging to the purported top Sinaloa cartel enforcer in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, whose organization was terrorizing that city with the worst violence in the Mexican drug wars.
In all, 100 assault weapons acquired under Fast and Furious were transported 350 miles from Phoenix to El Paso, making that West Texas city a central hub for gun traffickers. Forty of the weapons made it across the border and into the arsenal of Jose Antonio Torres Marrufo, a feared cartel leader in Ciudad Juarez, according to federal court records and trace documents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

I think FAst & Furious was a back door to gun control, but as I think about it more, I think it also is an attempt to keep things bad in Mexico so we will keep the influx of illegals and so there is a compassionate reason to want to allow people to come. It’s awfully hard to say the Mexicans need to stay put and stick it out where they are - wait literally years in line for permission to enter the US - when their whole town is being butchered by drug cartels. When we’ve got the conditions of Sudan right on our doorstep it creates a truly humanitarian reason to let the people come here - for refuge from these heinous barbarians (that we happen to be arming. arrgh!)
Right on! If pot alone was made legal it would take a the big chunk out of the cartels business. How crazy is it that the marijuana trade causes people to be murdered every day? We will never win the war on drugs! Never!
Yeah. I think that is a CLEAR violation of this:
"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Undermining that very document doesn't fly. Resign. Now.
Recall when Obama laughingly mocked South Western states security and asked , “what’s next a moat”?
Obama must be arrested and taken to Gitmo for interrogation.

Of course, this enforcer still isn’t under arrest.
