After the Department of Homeland Security issued a terrorist alert for the Texas-Mexican border, a Texas congressman is trying to wake up congress to the very real threat to our national security represented by terrorists infiltrating our porous southern border.

What, they can’t just walk over in Arizona? More proof of the dangerous lunacy of not securing our borders and the total incompetence of the Department of Homeland ‘Security’ under Janet Napolitano.

As agents clear out Mexican gangs, more brutal ones move in – Drug cartels warn: ‘Shut up,’ or heads will roll. Sometimes, the heads are lined up neatly in rows, displayed along with banners designed to intimidate enemies, rivals and police.

Theft, robbery, vandalism and drug smuggling have always been part of illegal immigration in Cochise County, but murder is not something the cattle ranchers along the Arizona-Mexico border expected to happen to Robert Krentz.

Mexican drug cartels have already infiltrated the U.S. and are growing the “stuff” in the United States. Hence, legalization could have the effect of making these criminals into “legitimate” businessmen. “Big Marijuana” could join “Big Pharma” as another powerful special interest group. In order to be consistent, “Big Cocaine” and “Big Meth” would have to follow.

The Obama Administration is pushing amnesty for illegal immigrants. The Administration has also reversed a number of policies that had improved enforcement. These changes have included ending work­place raids and a shift toward “catch and release” of illegal immigrants, instead of detaining them and deporting them. Rather than pursue comprehensive immigration reform, the Administration and Congress should ensure that the existing policies on border security, interior enforcement, and non-immigrant visas are working.
