After the murder of Arizona rancher, Robert Krentz, residents and lawmakers alike have called for National Guard to be placed on border, however President Obama and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano remain silent on the issue.

A new Rasmussen Reports poll puts an exclamation point on what Americans want when it comes to the U.S./Mexico border – 72 percent want the military placed on the border while 16 percent are happy with the status quo.

Arizona Senator John McCain’s (R-AZ) recent flip-flop when it comes to placing the military on the nation’s southern borders. The fact McCain is competing in his toughest primary race ever against conservative J.D. Hayworth have many speculating about McCain’s switch from his 2007 amnesty push to protecting the nation’s borders from the escalating drug cartel violence.

After the former presidential contender met with state officials, he sent a letter to the former governor of Arizona, Napolitano.

According to the letter McCain claims; “For years, I have called on the President to send National Guard troops to the border in an effort to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and narcotics. Most recently, I supported Governor Jan Brewer's request to place troops along Arizona’s border with Mexico. Unfortunately that request was rejected by this Administration. A year later, in light of the recent incidents and the continued growth of drug violence along the border, I am asking you and the Administration to immediately reconsider your position and send National Guard troops to our southern border region.â€

However, after promising amnesty and not delivering it, the Obama Administration is adamant about not further alienating the Latino population and activist groups like La Raza. Most reform-minded folks want the floodgates to remain open so cheap labor can operate in a business as usual manner.

Obama has no respect for human life, who cares who you alienate.............PEOPLE ARE DYING!!!!!!

How can this President remain silent on this issue, when he thought it urgent to speak out on behalf of his buddy up in Washington, after he was arrested and then accused the police of an unlawful arrest based upon racism? He spoke up then. He even believed the situation serious enough to warrant a beer summit.

Americans being slaughtered by foreign invaders and we get nothing but silence from the top two enforcement officials in this country.

As for Janet Napolitano, she's already demonstrated time and again that she's utterly USELESS! She should have been gone long ago. But this administration needs her in order to champion amnesty on behalf of the very people who are killing us!

Yes there is a man in the white house who could care less about our well being. TIME FOR SOME REAL CHANGE!

My impression of this President is that he is continuously trying to play various forms of political correctness and annointed diplomacy with every country in the world but doesn't have the guts or deep-rooted strength to understand how to protect his own people here at home. I doubt that he even comprehends his own serious responsibility in this. On national security, Obama is not much of a commander-in-chief.

He is a puppet give an agenda to follow, he is doing what he is told to do by his masters, they have groomed him for years to do what he is doing!

Still not one word from Obama or Janet!! Unbelieveable!!!

A while back, a friend who was a company CEO, told me that if you ignore a problem long enough it usually goes away. I am beginning to smell the same tactic here.

The American Government no longer serves the American People. They pander to big money, and special interests. We the People should be considered the biggest special interest since we fund everything with the sweat off our backs. Only trouble is, they've run up so high a bill now, it will never be paid back.

The government makes the case that immigration is their jurisdiction.

Yet they do nothing.

Is it not the purgative of the people to pick up the call since they are clearly aiding and abetting?

Can the State governments defend themselves and protect each other?

Can the people protect themselves?
