Calling the situation along the U.S. border a “threat to national security,” a House committee Thursday took up a bill sponsored by Republican congressmen that would treat Mexican drug cartels like terrorists and apply a counterinsurgency strategy to the growing violence along the Southern border.

Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) introduced H.R. 3401 the “Enhanced Border Security Act” on Nov. 9 to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, stop criminal access to U.S. financial institutions, and work with Mexico to implement counterinsurgency tactics to undermine the control of the drug cartels in the country.

The bill would also double the number of Border Patrol agents, and provide additional infrastructure to secure the border, including “tactical double layered fencing.”

“A terrorist insurgency is being waged along our Southern border,” said Mack, during the mark up of the bill in the Western Hemisphere subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he serves as chairman.

1: If this goes anywhere, it was implemented as a "feel good" measure to counteract the groundswell from the bills passed in the last week.

2:I see no action laid out. It's one thing to label them as "terrorists" and another to actually deal with the vermin.

3:This will go absolutely no where.

Seriously, how stupid do they think the American people are, apparently real stupid. There is countless articles and it's on record that the gov. cia, etc. allows certain cartels to ship drugs into the us untouched.
The war on drugs is a joke.

Anyone can do a quick search and find this out.

It's a political move. If they are labelled terrorist we can use our armed forces instead of relying soley on Border Patrol. The left would see an attach on a drug cartel an attack on a US citizen since they are on this side of the river.

That I would support. Especially since so many of the Zetas are ex military. Bring them home from other countries and put them on the border. Won't happen, but it would be nice.

Finally!! A representative that has heard the cries of his constituents who have endured the hell that is living on the Mexico border. He should be voted to a higher political office.

I know.

I guess my heavy sarcasm involving a Florida representative with constituents on the Mexico border wasn't as funny as I thought.

We should consider all Mexicans part of the cartel and then invade Mexico and kill all of them, especially their women and children.

Nope. However we should execute anyone entering our nation without permission. Men, women, children, prairie dogs and taco venders. Mexican military who crosses the border ranks air strikes on the bases they left from. Harsh, direct and immediate action to anyone who threatens our national security.

And I approve THIS message
