White House unveils plan to fight border drug cartels

Judiciary Committee ranking member Lamar Smith (R- Texas) said he supported the administration's efforts to address border violence, but expressed concern about the specifics of the plan.

"While I support the administration's plan to increase resources and personnel along the border, I am concerned that the redeployment may come at the expense of other critical law enforcement activities," Smith said. "The administration appears to be using border violence as an excuse to reduce interior enforcement of our immigration laws and enact gun restrictions. With hundreds of federal law enforcement officers being relocated to the border, we must ensure that we do not undercut our national security and immigration enforcement responsibilities."

That has been my concern from the beginning, especially when I heard they were sending ICE agents to the border.

I guess now that the raids are being reduced, or suspended all together, the Secretary of DHS feels she needs to redeploy ICE and some of their resources.

This is starting to sound like an episode of "Keystone Cops."

Thats the Obama administrations plan alright.

BINGO! Seriously, these people are not thinking and acting....they are feeling and reacting. Taking food out of my mouth to feed yours isn't fixing a food shortage problem.

"The administration appears to be using border violence as an excuse to reduce interior enforcement of our immigration laws and enact gun restrictions. With hundreds of federal law enforcement officers being relocated to the border, we must ensure that we do not undercut our national security and immigration enforcement responsibilities."

That is exactly what they are doing, have to pander to all of these special interest group you know....the border gives them and excuse just as the illegals are going to use the violence in Mexico as an excuse for being here.
