It's become a daily occurrence down there. The Mexican border has become a war zone with the cartel wars over who gets control of the cities.

Thank AG-Holder, BATFE, DEA, & ICE for their roll in providing the arms to these drug cartels. They have played an active roll in endangering the lives of US citizens and Mexicans alike residing along the border. They should be held directly accountable for the well over 3000 deaths accredited to firearms traffiked by "Fast & Furious".

Obama is noticeably silent on this border violence since it was uncovered by the LA Times that the White House knew about Oterations "Fast & Furious" and "Operation Castaway".

I guess it takes American blood to put troops on the border.
This President is so reactive.
He has no plan.

A month or so ago our feckless leader was on the Texas border and declared that it was "safe and secure" and that the border fence was complete.

Within the past few weeks there have been Mexican military incursions into Texas by convoy and by helicopter. In both cases the Mexicans were allowed to return to Mexico without incident, but in both cases they could have been considered a terroristic threat.

Now just how SECURE is the border..................????

The Mexican cartels have rocket launchers on jeeps and even have a submarine.
Someone in some government is providing these because this is not something American Joe can buy at Sportsman's Paradise and ship south of the border.

Except when it comes to American gun rights and privacy rights when it comes to the TSA, then he's a very "proactive" president

C'mon man. He spearheaded the "Beer Summit" between an outraged man and a cop. That is the sign of true World Playa.

You could say the POTUS is not well liked by many in Texas.

He is loved by those in Austin-Houston-Dallas-San Antonio though.
