You have to admit, O has more issues than any President in the history of America.
See below.
1.2 Wars - Afghanistan and Iraq
2. BP's Texas tea in the gulf
3. The economy.
4. War on terror.
5. Iran
6. Israel
7. North Korea
What number should we give the War on Drugs and illegals again?
I would say one of the top three since 5 out of 7 issues you sight are occuring somewhere else in the world besides America....how about concentrating the resources on OUR country instead of the rest of the world?
It's the federal government's job to handle the whole mess. But they refuse to follow their own law. So the state made a law so they now can enforce it. It is a federal law and it was up to federal to enforce it, there hands were tied, you understand how that works now.
Is hiring police officers limited to the Federal Government too? What's Arizona's excuse with hiring more cops? When the economy was strong in Arizona, what was their excuse for not hiring more police officers?
I realize Obama likes to golf but, this Country has lots of problems and he needs to be working on them all.
You know how you could instantaneously solve the cartel problems? Legalization of Drugs.
We wouldn't have to be buying from the cartels (because people in Arizonaand the rest of the southwest clearly love their drugs) and they wouldn't have this mutli-billion dollar industry dropped into their laps.
Without true sources of finances, the cartels would evaporate overnight. Pfizer and The Altria Group would pick up the slack and provide all the American Addicts with their Meth, Heroin, Cocaine and Ecstasy. It sounds insane, but instead of spending billions in continuing this moronic drug war that does nothing to stop the flow of narcotics into the country, we could tax the heck out of them, send addicts to rehab and use the savings and tax revenue to educate people better on the dangers of those drugs.
Or we can continue the Status Quo, or even better, become a police state where all freedoms are taken away because some idiots cannot seem to connect the failure of alcohol prohibition to the massive failure that has been drug prohibition.

He wanted the job and it appears you voted for him. Are you now saying he can't handle the job?
He's handling it; these are just unprecedented problems.
I think there's some sort of deal with Mexico that inadvertently has allowed this to happen. If we wanted to stop the inflow of people and drugs, we would. (The best and really the only answer to the drug prob. is that Americans need to quit taking drugs, but that's another issue.) I think this deal is the ultimate problem, but I dont know what it is or why we have it/maintain it.
That fence thing was a cruel joke. I dont know if the 1200 new border troops (troops? guards? dont know what called) is enough, or too much, or what.
I asked earlier if anyone knew what the AZ Gov. has had to say about the specific problem in the OP -- what AZ is doing about it.
When the state had money, they were not hiring police officers. Are you saying this immigration problem only started 2 years ago
