At a time when hundreds of thousands are fleeing Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, for almost any location - with substantial numbers heading north to El Paso, Texas and points beyond - it's interesting to see that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is taking border security and Customs enforcement seriously; even to the point of personally traveling to the border.
There's good reason for concern over Juarez, where more than 3,000 people have been killed this year, according to the federal government, making it among the most dangerous places on earth.
Of all of the border cities, it's by far the most out-of-control, and thus represents a clear danger not only to Mexican citizens, but to Americans, as the violence spills across the border.
Of course, that's not where Big Sis is hanging out. No, the border she's visiting and vowing to beef up is in Afghanistan.
