Obama: "Borders Are Safe"? He Can't Even Keep a National Park Open

Shortly after President Obama in a highly political speech Thursday said the U.S.-Mexican border is the safest in 20 years, 21 persons were killed in a gun battle between rival drug and immigrant trafficking gangs.

As well about 3,500 acres of southern Arizona along the Mexican border is closed to U.S. citizens due to increased violence in the region.

The closed off area stretches 80 miles along the border and includes part of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge. It was closed in October 2006 "due to human safety concerns," the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Wednesday in response to news reports on the closure.

"It's literally out of control," said Babeu. "We stood with Senator McCain and literally demanded support for 3,000 soldiers to be deployed to Arizona to get this under control and finally secure our border with Mexico. "

@101PageJimmy Is that a racist comment? Race is irrelevant to the issue of our border.

People, you need to read the current immigration reform bill being proposed in the Senate, The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2010, S.B. 3932. It includes a “CLARIFICATION” that FEDERAL LAW PREEMPTS STATE AND LOCAL LAW and it will prohibit their enforcement activities. PLEASE read this bill (it will scare you) and write your Senators! ...just Google it and you will find information.

Ok, idiots. Watch the video. They do not state specific numbers. The only thing you see is an article clipping. The actual numbers are down. If you look at statics for total property crimes AND violent crimes the numbers have been going down for at least the last 4 years. I am in NO way an obama supporter, I am just sick of seeing people put lies up in a video and moronic Americans blindly believing it because they won't get off their fat, lazy butt and do 30 seconds of fact checking.

More secure now then in the last 20 years. Does he seriously think Americans are stupid

Obama is a moron. He clearly does not care about the US or its citizens. All he cares about is the Hispanic vote so he can stay in power, since he knows that US citizens are on to him & we know that he is criminally incompetent & negligent. PLEASE everyone vote him OUT of office in 2012!!!!!!!!
