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.

Is that all?
During the siege of the Randy Weaver "compound" it was reported that as high as 800 meals per day were delivered to the jack booted thugs surrounding his house.
Agents and military personnel at the Branch Devonian "compound" ?
Sending 37 ATF agents is a sham, though it will help some. However, still more physical barriers are needed especially in Arizona on the land of the Tohono O'odham nation. There are several other hot spot routes for illegal entry along the AZ / Mex border that are wide open still.
So, let the sheeple drink the 0 kool aid and the goobermint will continue lying at all costs as a select few in DC and AZ take drug cartel money to look the other way. See if FOX news or any other media can get a close up sat photo, and you'll see exactly what I mean.
I saw the fence on TV. Especially all the patches to the fence where they were opened up by illegals. They are defenseless. A waste of money, as I see it.
The ATF? That can only mean that the idea is to harass FFL holders and try to put them out of business for minor things like entering “St.” for Street.
The problem is that they have orders to shoot Americans...
Thats what I meant. Ruby Ridge too right?
Seriously it looks like they are setting up failure with the signals that is sending.
Who needs Reno when you have Obama?
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
Bootleg whiskey?
Bootleg smokes?
American citizens with registered fire arms?
YUP...smoke and mirrors...lots of wide open ‘undocumented’ routes for illegal entry still exist in AZ.....one of the catels’ favorite spots.
The big boys are people like Sheriff Arpaio and the rancher Roger Barnett. These are 2 fellows who have stood and upheld the laws of the land. These are the type of "big boys" I refer to. We just need a few more like them.
TO make the case that we need the Assault Weapons Ban back of course.
Yeah, the guy helping me with my last yellow sheet was VERY insistent that I not use “st” for street, or the two letter abbreviation for the state.
I thought HE was the anal one. I understand now. The bureaucrats use these things to put gun sellers out of business.
Someone start the countdown until innocent Americans get gunned down. 3....2....1
Maybe to arrest those who do not have a lime in the bottle.
I think the point is that the “woe is me” attitude does nothing but discourages good people from standing tall and demanding that something be done.
Hence the problem.
That might be who they are after.
37??? oh boy..thats alot of help
Oooooooooooooooo...... you might well have a very good point there.
The ramifications of that thought are really disturbing.
