Napolitano: “It’s Just Plain Wrong to Say Border Is Overrun With Violence and Is Out of Control"

From thehill.com -Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano issued a stern warning to Mexican drug cartels on Monday as she vowed to push Congress to revamp U.S. immigration laws. Napolitano, speaking at the University of Texas at El Paso, said the southern U.S. border has never been more secure than in recent years and public officials who argue otherwise do so to “score political points.”   Assessing the number of seizures of illegal drugs, weapons and cash as well as the increasing number of deported criminals who had been in the United States illegally, Napolitano said critics of that border's security were wrong. “It is inaccurate to state, as too many have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control,” Napolitano said in prepared remarks. “This statement — often made only to score political points — is just plain wrong.”  More here

Napolitano is right, what's the big deal with 30 or 40 thousand murders over the last few years? What's the big deal with U.S. Border Patrol officers and ranchers in the U.S being killed by illegal aliens? People die all over the world every day. Of course there's killings...drug lords need to protect their territory on BOTH sides of the border. To quote what someone else once said, "fix what's wrong and move on..." Everyone should calm down and have some dip.
