across and killing and kidnapping and terrorizing americans like an invading enemy army, it is no wonder our united statesrtment of justice called them the biggest organized crime threat to the united states. yet, the political elite in washington, d.c. -- they could not care less. according to the "wall street journal," president obama is cutting funding for border patrol agents and denying their requests for equipment. while smugglers, killers, and god knows who else walks across our border every single week, washington refuses to enforce immigration law to protect the american people. that is shameful. it is dangerous. it is a dereliction of duty, and it has got to stop now. [applause] if our federal government refuses to protect us, we the people are forced to protect ourselves. that is what arizona did. [applause] that is what arizona did after drug gangs turn phoenix into america's kidnapping capital and washington refused to use its own immigration law to protect its own citizens. what happened is a desperate arizona had no choice but to pass its own version of existing federal law. let me say that

army men when they return to fort carsen, colorado. here is an excerpt from the wounded platoon. >> in the summer of 2005, after a year in iraq, third platoon came back to the united states. the new home was fort carsen, on the outskirts of colorado springs. since the start of the iraq war, this city has experienced an unprecedented murder spree. in the last five years, 14 fort carsen soldiers have been charged or convicted in 13 murders and manslaughters. on friday nights, downtown is full of soldiers from fort carsen, some trying to forget what they've experienced. others celebrating their homecoming. ♪ [sirens] >> hector rodriguez was the most experienced sergeant in third platoon. as the men returned from their first tour, he was worried that his younger soldiers would get into trouble. >> i gave them a speech before we came back. and i said, look, guys, you've been on deployment for a year, and that's pretty much like caging a wild animal and letting it go free. they still had iraq inside of them, and i think a lot of that kind of caused problems for them. because they couldn't let it go. >> oh, my gosh! >> the soldiers of third platoon hit the bars of colorado spri

united states. they do not have an industrial base. they do not have armies. they are terrorists.ause of the fact that afghanistan has no means of national support for a large army, where is the end game? do you propose we stay in afghanistan until they form a modern democracy? for heaven's sake, their constitution was drafted by the french as a part of the nato mission. i am an intelligence officer. i am in lieutenant-colonel. i have studied this issue. we need to kill our enemies. we do not need to build a modern nation state where one cannot exist. >> there are some many problems with this health care bill that we must repeal it. let's start with the fact that it does not solve any of the problems that it would solve. i battled breast cancer last year. that is why my hair looks strange. i lost it all during chemotherapy. it made me an involuntary expert on the health-care system. the truth is that this bill increases the cost of care, the cost of health insurance. it has increased our federal debt by $500 billion probably. president obama just established a "deficit reduction c

army began the training early on. the police -- we began to pay full attention to this important element in 2007. now there is massive investment by the united statesur other allies to the training of the police. the structure is already emerging. the discipline is being seen on the streets of the capital and the rest of the country. while this is going on, the police, as it is training, is also facing the threat of terrorism and sacrificing daily at least four policemen a day are dying in afghanistan defending their country. at least four. that is the average we have taken. some days it has been bigger numbers. the aspiration for the minister of defence and the minister of interior is to have our army and police reached together at least 300,000 that we have in mind. the minister of defense is asking for 400,000, of which i'm quite cautious about the cost in the future. we are trying to have the right numbers between 300,000 to 350,000. we will be concentrating more on policy and equipment rather than numbers. >> that brings up the question of the sustainable of 400,000 forces. we have been describing the mineral wealth. you mentioned some time in

armies ever deployed on a demilitarized zone. if a conflict were to break out this would be a war that the united states and the -- would win, butot without huge costs in terms of millions dead and trillions trillions of dollars in damage. this is essentially the problem that we face on the peninsula. we want to do things to prevent the north from disrupting the peaceful status quo, but we want to do it in a way that won't affect markets in asia which affect markets in the united states. and don't put at risk hundreds of thousands of americans and american allies in the city of seoul. >> good morning. i am curious. i can't see how a country can have peace without strength. it seems like there has got to be some form of retaliation. host ok. thank you. guest: ok. again i think doug puts his finger 0 p the dilemma which is how do you fashion an appropriate response so that the north feel they are being punished for what they have done but doing it in a way that doesn't promote an all-out war. host: he points out they rarely issue public statements. he said there was a firey sounding warning saying it would, quote respond to any mi

ana's army that invaded texas every night on average and they don't come with muskets or in uniforms, but hat's the magnitude every single night. and now, thankfully, the president of the united states has announced yesterday that he was going to ask for $500 million and 1,200 naonal guard troops to bolster the security at the border. some of the people on my side of the aisle were critical of it as being not enough. and i won't take issue with them on that part, it's not enough, but it is a good baby step. we have taken so many giant steps in the wrong direction, especially economically and the effort to do so culturally and socially that when i see a baby step like 1,200 guard troops going down to the southern border, that's a good thing. little steps in the right direction are better than giant steps in the wrong direction. 1,200 troops turns out to be this, an increase of personnel security of 6.5% and it's an increase from a budgetary perspective, $500 million divided by the roughly $12 billion we are spending on the southern border, 2.4% increase in the budget part of it. it sends the right message and we need to reinforce that message that is sent, this country, democrats and

an afghan army and police force so their government can protect its own people and not be a threat to its neighbors. in order to build the governing capacity of afghanistan, the united states and european union are deploying significant resources. sustaining these missions has not always been popular but you know, as i do, it is required. as leaders, which have an obligation to make the case to our populations that this is necessary for our collective security. believe me, as a politician who has stood for office for 38 years, i understand, it is not easy. i assure you, it is no more popular in my country then it is in any of yours. it is also what the u.s. and europe are standing side by side, to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. a development that would in danger citizens and neighbors, including some of our closest allies. together, we embark on an unprecedented path of engagement with the iranian leaders. [applause] >> despite what some skeptics thought, the president meant what he said that we will reach out our hand to any party that will on clench their fists. at the outset of this the administration, president obama stated we are prepared to deal with ir
