WASHINGTON — The Obama administration plans to send reinforcements to the Southwest border to help contain the rampant violence of the Mexican drug cartel wars.
Thirty-seven agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are being deployed to the region. An official familiar with the plan said the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency is considering reassignment of at least 90 officers to the border.
The official requested anonymity because the plan has not yet been announced.

Obama does not blame the border problems on:
Drugs
No Fence
Illegal Aliens
Not enough border patrol
Obama blames the border problem on:
GUNS!
The ATF is being sent, to track down gun sales at the border!
If they (the untouchable ones in charge), can put Ramos and Compean awayn for a righteous takedown/shhot, then think of what they’d do to your sorry ass.
Throw up the spotlight, draw up the curtains. It's time for the big shoe.
Hot Dog! Looks like we kin start moonshinin’ agin. Them revinoors all be busy chasin mexikins!
You are right. This has nothing to do with defending our border, or law and order. It has everything to do with the confiscation of firearms. It is another example of one of Rahm Emanuel’s crisis opportunities that can’t be allowed to go to waste. They are using it as an excuse to do what they intended to do all along. If they were serious about securing the border and border communities, they would send tens of thousands of more personnel whose specific mission is to stop illegal entry and drug smuggling, such as Border Patrol and DEA agents, these officers would be stationed at the border, at border crossings, along the border fence line and especially at all those locations where the border fence ends; ATF’s mission is a different thing entirely, that is, the domestic control of liquor, tobacco and weapons. This response only makes sense if you are a raving loony unconcerned with violence spilling over our borders, but very concerned with anyone owning a gun in order to protect themselves. We are securing Mexico’s border for Mexico, not the U.S. border for Americans, and we are “protecting” Mexico from guns.
At least if they are on the border, they aren’t stomping kittens and jacking up pregnant women in the rest of the country.
I think if the Feds would just get out of the way, it would have been done long ago.
Our Feds are siding with the enemy.
NOW the Mexican drug runners/terrorists will surely turn tail and run, rather than face the tanks, helecopter gunships, flame-throwers, and snipers of the BATF, as were deployed at WACO, resulting in 100% kill rates of the target population.
Mexican drug cartel = owners of the democrats in congress and the senate see record of he democrats for the last twenty years.
I agree with you. The first step in finding a solution is to believe a solution is possible. Giving up before you begin leads to certain disaster.
Obummer just FARTING in the wind again.
Getting busy on the gun grab now.
lol. What “big boys” are you referring to? Obama? Obama’s ATF agents will be on the take from the Mexican cartels within the month. Maybe sooner.
Another superman behind a keyboard.
Go get em "big boy"!
ATF is coming in to provide backup for DEA. The only good side to this is that there will be inter-agency infighting over the dope revenue. DEA vs ATF. Who to root for? All of this on top of the $25.00 a pound Tobacco tax increase. For the children, of course.
Better a superman behind a keyboard than another mewling little coward.
Are they taking their flamethrowers with them?
