EL PASO, Texas – Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Monday that U.S. communities on the border with Mexico are safer than most Americans believe, but also warned Mexican drug cartels they'll be "met by an overwhelming response" should they move north.
Napolitano told an audience at the University of Texas at El Paso — just across the Rio Grande from Ciudad Juarez and the unprecedented wave of drug-fueled violence engulfing it — that it's "inaccurate to state, as too many have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control."
"This statement, often made only to score political points, is just plain wrong," said Napolitano, who was governor of Arizona before being confirmed as Homeland Security secretary in 2009.
"Today I say to the cartels: Don't even think about bringing your violence and tactics across this border. You will be met by an overwhelming response," she said. "And we're going to continue to work with our partners in Mexico to dismantle and defeat you."
Last year, about 195,000 deportees were convicted criminals, Napolitano said.
"Let's stick with the facts and numbers when talking about where we are with the border," she said.
The statistics out of Juarez are nothing short of astounding. More than 6,000 people in the city have been killed by drug violence in the past two years alone, making it one of the most dangerous places on earth.

Well...then again there is the legitimate use of the bayonet lug on 1897 Winchester pump shotgun as
it applies to "cowboy action shooting"....
It just spoils the "handling" of weapon without that two foot "sticker" on the end.........
Old Pudfark sez: " It's just the ATF playing fast and loose....like a load of grease...through a goose... "
