I know - we can send obama down there to talk to these brutal drug cartels and there will be instant peace and prosperity for all just by the magic of his words...Isn't that what he is promising for every other problem in the world?

Aggressive raids and other tactics should be employed in an effort to cause the drug cartels to fear American law enforcement. Unless it becomes too expensive to do business here, there will be a continued push by the cartels to conduct their violent business of poisoning Americans with their "products". Coupled with the aggressive raids comes aggressive prosecutions of those arrested for crimes associated with drug and human trafficking. No more simple deportations; instead, severe prison terms and fines are the answer. Anyone arrested in America that is convicted of first degree murder must be executed to get the "hitters" off the streets. A rugged task force should be mobilized with a specific mission of going after this illegal concern (the cartels). In order to find success, the focus must be laser-like and the mission must be supported at all levels, including the courts. It will take a multi- federal agency, multi-state L.E. group of dedicated people with a sense of urgency, to effect the change America needs. If Pres.-elect Obama wants to put the fear in these cartel criminals, this is the time to start the talk. GWB needs to light a fire under the backside of DHS to get the fences/walls/moats/vehicle traps built, in order to make cross border incursions more costly for the cartels. The military needs to be stationed on our border to deal with the heavily armed para-military (and their paid Mexican military "protectors"). Our military can fill in the gaps of border security coverage to suppliment the law enforcement in their task. The military task will be "Military", so no conflict with military performing LE tasks.

This is why we don't need Janet Napolitano as head of our Nations security! She has for year been paying Mexico to stop the cartels and all they do is use the military to guard these loads! We pay our military to protect Iraq, we need to put them on the border and take all steps to stop everyone from entering our Country illegally! PERIOD! But yet we jail two border agents Ramos & Compean for shooting a UNARMED (yeah right) drug runner in the butt when he shows up a month later saying they shot him! The cartel most likely shot him to frame these two agents! The shrapnel taken from him could have come from 40 different guns! The jury was never taken to the place it happened, (I was)the agents who said they saw the whole thing could not have seen anything where they say they were standing!!!!! Now they have been fired!!! Much important facts were kept out & some jurors say if they had that info they would have come back innocent! But instead we have made everyone afraid to enforce our laws! This is total BS! The president needs to COMMUTE these agents sentences,return them to work and PROTECT OUR COUNTRY AT ALL COST!!! Trade with Mexico (illegals,welfare to them,TB, Leprosy, Merca, drugs & the American death toll at their hands) is not worth these cost! Only Mexico is profiting from this deal!

I wonder when the heads of law enforcement will start rolling onto the dance floor or be dumped on the steps of the police station? I hope we do not see that type of barbarism here cause there would be chaos? Hopefully they can stop the mafiosos at the border and keep that type of violence from becoming widespread here? I actually witnessed a killing in Cuidad de Juarez a few years back? These guys just gunned this dude down and blew his brains out in broad daylight in front of everyone, they had no fear? There were Mexican policemen in the area, one guy had a car pulled over about 2 blocks away? I guess they are afraid of the cartels down there and who could blame them when you don't know who is being paid off or whether you or a family member will be kidnapped, tortured then killed and maybe have your head dumped in front of the police station? Here in Los we see gang violence, mainly between gang members, but sometimes innocents get caught in the crossfire? We are not as bad as Mexico yet, cause the police still have some authority here whereas in Mexico they don't?
