WASHINGTON — The Obama administration plans to send reinforcements to the Southwest border to help contain the rampant violence of the Mexican drug cartel wars.

Thirty-seven agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are being deployed to the region. An official familiar with the plan said the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency is considering reassignment of at least 90 officers to the border.

The official requested anonymity because the plan has not yet been announced.

Oh this is going to get interesting...

Maybe they can find a compound and do a “dynamic” entry.

Sheriff Arpaio isn’t an anti-illegal immigration zealot.

He just enforces the law. And it just so happens that he’s in an area where there are a lot of people breaking the law who also happen to be here illegally.

What we see in other localities is that they are more likely to let the illegals go to avoid the accusations that Arpaio is being subjected to.

I was thinking that maybe the boy king needed some “powder” for himself and was sending federal agents to get a big supply to sustain him and his friends who party with him.

"Sheriff Arpaio isn’t an anti-illegal immigration zealot."

Correct.

"He just enforces the law. And it just so happens that he’s in an area where there are a lot of people breaking the law who also happen to be here illegally."

You "answered" your own argument in one breath.

Who are the "big boys" and when are they going to "take care of things"? Curious minds want to know.

Give me free rein and I will get r done.

1. Shoot across the border at us and you will get a swift and painful return from an Apache or a Predator.

2. Get caught within 1 mile of the border with more than a kilo of drugs you will be executed on the spot.

3. Get caught leading more than five illegal invaders into the country and you will be executed on the spot.

4. ALL "detained "illegal invaders will be return to Mexico via the most Southern port on the appropriate coast.

5. All "detained" invaders get a mark to show they have been here and returned. Get caught a second time and you are executed on the spot.

You folks are missing the whole point.

The BATFE isn't going to the border to 'help' with the illegals situation.

They are going down there to identify which gun shops on THIS side of the border are having a lot of straw sales and put them out of business.
