How would you solve this problem?

Drug cartels have warned border towns to look the other way or else. They have actually sent warning that they will start targeting law enforcement. Police have been told to stay armed even while off duty. Chief Jeff Kirkham of Nogales, Arizona is asking for more resources, extra help, technology. He has asked for help through Department of Homeland Security but has not gotten anywhere. You can watch a video http://video.foxnews.com/v/4254575/border-city-police-in-the-crosshairs In your opinion, what is a solution to this problem? What would you recommend? What would be acceptable for you?

it is being reported that Obama does not want to send an armed national guard to the border right now because it is holding that help over the republicans heads to get support for an immigration bill. So until the republicans back his immigration bill the border states won't get the help they need. We need the national guard on the border. Armed and ready for war...because that is waht the cartels have done...declared war on us if we don't let them do their illegal trading.

So what we as citizen should be doing is DEMANDING every congress person to fix this now. Ignore Barry and get on with business. They do not need his approval.

ya know I have previously stated that the Republicans are going about this all wrong. When the dems say they are voting something out, the republicans need to say EVERYTHING in that bill.The bill that just went down for the unemployment extension, you dont hear about it but it also included cuts to social security!

Obama does not care about the lives that are being endangered by the border violence and the cartels. He is using it as a tool to try to get his agenda on immigration passed. Want the violance stopped? Want the Americans living on the border protected? Sign on to HIS immigration bill. He is playing hardball with the Republicans and using American lives to do it. I am surprised there is not more of an out cry over this. It is unexceptable. Yes we need to be demanding that our congressmen do something NOW. We need them to hold Obama accountable for not protecting the American public. They also need to put a lot of preasure on him to secure our borders NOW. Also the american people have to stand up and let Obama know we want it done NOW...without anmnesty. No strings attached. Secure our border.

Tell you what, kids. It's as easy as Ted Nugent said. All you do is take back your rights as citizens under the constitution and watch your back yards. Of course you'll need to overlap fields of fire, learn a few tactics to keep from getting overrun. I'd attach cams to RC planes and use them for surveilance until we get dedicated UAVs (Preditors, Reapers) committed along the borders. Acoustic sensors and earlywarning systems can be interlinked very cheaply and with minimum maintenance. Also think about creating a tank trap. All we need is a rental cat backhoe to cover those blind spots bad guys like to use as entry points. Oh and don't forget to clear a nice wide field of fire for those obvious avenues of approach. It'll provide a good kill zone AND beautify your property at the same time!!! Happy hunting...

Send over a satellite, find out exactly where they are, and bomb them out of existence, how many more people have to die before that coward in the white house does something.

sounds like a declaration of war to me. nogales has had a problem for awhile now.they had people hopping back and forth when i lived in AZ,even to the point of digging tunnels underneath the border. i would beef up the line and tell them bring it on.they'll probably do it at some point whether they do or not,and they've got to stop bandying about this.

there needs to follow some instructions to solve a particular problem. in this world every problem can be solved by following the proper instructions. I think to solve the problem there needs to deploy the policemen at the towns and also asks for the help from the government.

I believe the police have been there, they need more help. They have been imploring Washington for help.

The problem must be solved, first, by removing the illegal immigrant usurper-in- chief from the WH and have him shackled and tried for treason. As long as he remains where he does not legally or constitutionally belong, his message of lawlessness resounds everywhere, especially among those who hate America as he does. All the scoundrel criminals go with him, as they are not legal either; this means Napolitano, Holder and all the other scum aiding and abetting the lynchpin's treason. Then storm congress with demands that they either straighten up and fly right or they are out. Every single state must pick up the gauntlet and fight to protect their constituency as well, no matter what it takes. It should be clear by now to all the lame-brains who still think O is god, that he has only one deep-rooted desire, and that is the weakening and destruction of America and he will do all in his power to accomplish his agenda of jihad. Therefore all of his ILLEGITIMATE power must be removed. O's friend Calderon should receive a stern warning to police and provide for his own people or all relations with Mexico will be dissolved. No more pandering to their illegality; no more victimizing of Americans. America is currently at war with itself, courtesy Barack Hussein Obama,aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Obama, aka Steve Dunham, etc. a criminal. Divide and conquer is operant in concluding his master plan of jihad so Americans had best UNITE post haste or there soon will be no UNITED STATES.

Cheney would be perfect for leading this charge. His "stern warnings" are VERY effective!
