Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, whose agency is charged with securing America’s borders, told an audience in Washington, D.C., in reference to the U.S.-Mexico border, “You’re never going to totally seal that border.” Napolitano spoke and answered questions at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on “Securing the Border: A Smarter Law Enforcement Approach,” on Wednesday. When asked if she could give a timeline on when the border would be secured, Napolitano said, “The border is as secure now as it has ever been” but that the border will never be totally sealed.

We don’t have to totally seal the border.
Creating an environment where illegals will self-deport is the answer.
With less traffic comes easier enforcement....
Yep. Especially if you never try....
Well. Sounds like she speaks the truth. It is more secure than ever and it will never be secure.
They will never try.
We need to stop the freebies for illegals.
That will help a lot.
You’re never going to totally eliminate murder either but that doesn’t mean we stop enforcing the laws against murder. You do whatever is possible to legally minimize the crime at issue.
Let’s do what Americans are capable of doing Janet dear....
YEAH, WELL WE CAN SEAL YOU SIS! ! !
That is funny......San Diego sealed THEIR border.
TRAITOR
She’s right, you will never completely seal off the border. But for God’s sake give it a try! Our children suffer because of the massive amounts of drugs coming across. California has an outbreak of Whooping cough, guess what group it started in?
No, you’re not. Nothing is 100% effective. But you could do a whole lot better job of sealing it than you are currently.
Maybe not, but it is the duty of the Obama administration to try.
You will never seal the border.......until you start. They know that full well. These fools in Washington don’t care about the rest of the country. Republicans and Independents need to hammer at this and keep hammering until it is brought up on the floor of the House and Senate and keep it on the floot until something is done. If they don’t, people will start getting hurt, in a serious way.
I don't care if the border is not 100% sealed. Just start making an effort. Sheesh!
A reasonable attempt would be a good start.
Considering that a reasonable attempt to seal the border has never been tried, but is required by law.
First obey the Constitution and enforce the laws, folks, and then later we can talk about the remaining cleanup required.
Yo, Janet, the times and crimes have changed since the 1800s.
Sure, but we can make life a living hell for illegals, then they’ll go home on their own.
