U.S. may see a rise in drug-related crimes, Napolitano says
Pulling ICE Agents from immigration worksite and detention to sit in the desert and not enforce immigration laws. They are going to watch for the export of guns and money, while the illegal aliens sending the drugs and money will run a muck across the country.
U.S. may see a rise in drug-related crimes, Napolitano says

advertisementMexico's drug-related violence is so pervasive that even a new initiative increasing the number of agents at the border may not prevent a rise in crime in the U.S., Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said today.
"While we are bolstering our efforts against spillover violence, we do not discount we could see an increase in some crimes," she told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in prepared remarks.
The Department of Homeland Security plans to redeploy 360 officers and agents to the border to fight violence.
Although Napolitano didn't say which crimes may increase, lawmakers have said they are concerned with rising drug-related kidnappings in Phoenix and the spread of Mexican cartel networks that extend to Anchorage, Alaska. Still, violence in U.S. border cities has remained low compared with their Mexican counterparts.
Napolitano and other administration officials yesterday outlined plans to place more customs and law-enforcement personnel at the border to stop guns and money from being sent from the U.S. to Mexico. The agents also will work with Mexican authorities to stop northbound shipments of marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine.
The Obama administration has increased its focus on Mexican violence recently, and today Secretary of State Hillary Clinton embarked on a trip to Mexico City, in part to discuss the new initiative. Napolitano and Attorney General Eric Holder will travel to Mexico next week, and President Barack Obama will attend a regional conference in Trinidad and Tobago on April 16.
Increasing Agents
In her testimony, Napolitano gave more details about the new law enforcement push. The Department of Homeland Security will increase to 190 from 95 the number of agents dedicated to special border task forces made up of federal, state, local and Mexican law enforcement.
These task forces have been successful, making 2,034 criminal arrests since 2005, she said.
Napolitano will send 12 additional Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to join the 24 already working with authorities in Mexican cities.
Nine mobile X-ray machines are being transferred to the southwest border, and 100 Border Patrol agents are being deployed to inspect southbound traffic.
In addition, 75 Customs and Border Protection officers are being readied to help with inspections.

I guess she's overlooking the rise in marriage visa fraud, employment visa fraud, and ID theft, too?

The former governor is a sad choice to be in charge of our borders and enforcement. Sadly, the continuing influx of drugs, illegal aliens, and other crime falls squarely at the door of all who have ignored the problems. The seeds have been slowly sown for the past couple of decades. President Bush's Administration allowed the illegal alien problem to cover the entire United States rapidly, it allowed drug cartels to entrench themselves in gateway cities, and this new Administration has too many paybacks to groups who want open borders and amnesty.
Now we are told to expect possible increased crime.
Psalm 139:14Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

They're not getting guns from here, they're getting them from the Middle East, you dunce! Are American politicans really this stupid or is it an acquired skill???
Drug cartels own planes, they use small airports/open fields, etc. mexico does NOTHING about it. Why would they drive over the border with guns when they can fly them in from anywhere in the world? Think about it!
The only things that cross the border are illegal aliens and drugs from mexico to the US! The things that flow into mexico from the US are stolen cars and money.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

True, however some of the guns have been supplied (my opinion)by our government via helping the Mexican military who in many cases is corrupt and guns are sold or given to the cartels.
In regards to Napolitano she is this administrations Janet Reno and all she needs is her Waco to cement her place in history.I'm old with many opinions few solutions.

I stand corrected oldguy, you are right, thank you.
This was our grossest mistake:
[quote]The Zetas were originally members of the Mexican Army’s elite Grupo Aeromóvil de Fuerzas Especiales (GAFE), trained in locating and apprehending drug cartel members. It is believed that they were originally trained at the military School of the Americas in the United States.[6][7] Also,they were trained by foreign specialists, including Americans, French, and Israelis, in rapid deployment, aerial assaults, marksmanship, ambushes, small-group tactics, intelligence collection, counter-surveillance techniques, prisoner rescues and sophisticated communications.
In the late 1990s, the drug Gulf Cartel leader Osiel Cardenas Guillen, began to recruit GAFE members to provide protection and perform other vital functions. His top recruit, Lieutenant Arturo Guzmán Decena, brought with him approximately 30 other deserters enticed by salaries substantially higher than those paid by the Mexican government.
Zeta training locations have been identified as containing the same items and setup as GAFE training facilities, it is also further believed the group employs the same internal organizational structure. Current estimates place Los Zetas around 200 members strong, which includes several rogue Kaibil members (Guatemalan Army special forces). The name "Zeta" comes from the Federal Preventive Police radio code for high-ranking officers.[2][3][4]
Some of the original members are: [8] Arturo Guzmán Decena, Rogelio González Pizaña, Heriberto Lazcano, Jaime González Durán, EfraÃ*n Teodoro Torres, Raúl Hernandez Barrón, Óscar Guerrero Silva, LuÃ*s Alberto Guerrero Reyes, Jesús Enrique Rejón, Mateo DÃ*az López, Jorge López, Daniel Peréz Rojas, Sergio Enrique Ruiz Tlapanco, Nabor Vargas GarcÃ*a, Ernesto ZatarÃ*n Beliz, Eduardo Estrada González, Flavio Méndez Santiago, Prisciliano Ibarra Yepis, Rogelio Guerra RamÃ*rez, Miguel ÃJoin our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
