Our Border is the safest it has ever been? Right?

A Highway in El Paso, Texas was closed due to gunfire in Juarez. Fighting between Mexican Police and of course "gunmen" whatever that means.
Border Patrol requested the closure due to flying bullets.
I really do not see the border issues as small but rather life threatening.

I think it was good to close the road to keep our citizens safe, but awful that we even have to.
The irony here is that Juarez is one of the deadliest cities in the world while El Paso is one of the safest.

NO! It's not right. We are not safe. I clearly remember Janet Napolitano, when in office in AZ , stating that Az "has NO border problem". I'm sure that's why usurper Obama put her into the position of head of Homeland Security!
Insanity proliferates and this double-talk, double-think continues unabated.

I'm afraid it'll be too little, too late, unless you know something I don't know.
Most Americans need to be "slapped silly" on this treason right under their silly, foolish noses.
Under Holder, it ought to be called the Injustice Department and Napolitano, the Office of Homeland Insecurity as they continue to maraude our citizenry at the whim of their "fearless traitor" leader, Obama/Soetoro/Dunham, horrid and dark person.

I don't know about safe. I don't feel like gettin' all serious on a Monday.
So I'll just say this about the border:
I was watching the Little League World Series as they introduced a team from the USA and a team from Japan.
The USA team was from Eagle Pass, Texas - a town close to the border.
The Japanese team was from Japan. 
Der.
The Japanese kids spoke better English than the American kids.
Just sayin'!

Racist because Mexicans happen to be an American minority?
