Reclaim America's Sovereignty

America's porous Southern border is an open invitation to human trafficking, smuggling, crime, and ultimately an open invitation to terrorists. I do not blame the Zetas (Mexican mafia), criminals of any stripe will do all that they are permitted. It is the responsibility and sacred duty of government on each side of the border to contain the criminal element and sadly both Mexico and the United States are content to rely on half-measures rather than end the threat. The Mexican government ranges from weak and ineffectual to utterly corrupt, with a good government, anti-crime mayor recently allegedly gunned down by six of his own dirty police officers. Then there is the Obama administration that has mostly abdicated border security while pushing an amnesty agenda. Certain areas of the American Southwest have become "no go" zones where American citizens are urged not to travel, law enforcement avoids for their own safety, and even ICE (formerly known as border patrol) agents have abandoned. Farms, ranches, and areas of desert exist now in the US where Americans dare not go. If we had a leader in Washington rather than someone who simply wishes to register illegals as his future voters, Mexico would be put on notice to correct the situation forthwith, or the US will for them- creating a security zone, a buffer within Mexico proper of five or more miles patrolled by US forces authorized to use all means necessary to prevent infiltration into the United States. This kind of clear message will of course never be sent by Obama or any other Democrat and I doubt any Republican seeking office would have the courage to actually protect us either.
