WASHINGTON — Responding to Republican criticism about border security, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is asking congressional leaders to temper their comments intended for political gain and take a tour of communities along the U.S.-Mexico border.

"The situation on the border continues to be mischaracterized, and I am concerned that this is hurting the morale of our law enforcement personnel and the local economies of border towns," Napolitano said...

Napolitano sent invitations to GOP and Democratic leaders in the House and Senate saying it was important to "forge a constructive dialogue" on border security. Her invitation comes as Texas Gov. Rick Perry was in Washington and continued his critique of ... border security...

Napolitano said a bipartisan, bicameral tour of the border this spring could be the catalyst for legislative efforts to improve security and facilitate trade.

Perry, as well as the state's two Republican senators, Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn, have complained that the Obama administration has failed to shore up security with additional federal law enforcement and technology.

"The response from the Homeland Security agency has been appalling. They are nonresponsive," Perry told Texas reporters following a breakfast Friday with the Texas State Society at the Capitol Hill Club.

"We're incompetent, but don't you dare criticize us."

A self assessment I presume?

LOL, how can I lie about what a good job i’m doing if you keep point out how sorry I am.

Constructive diologue is not what’s needed now, but construct the fence will do just fine for starters.

The situation on the border continues to be mischaracterized

Hardly

When you don’t have a clue, give tours with arranged speakers and events. Excellent catering with chocolate dipped berries helps as well.

I don’t know what parallel universe Janet is living in but the drug she takes to get there must be great.

"The situation on the border continues to be mischaracterized, and I am concerned that this is hurting the morale of our law enforcement personnel..."

No Janet. Having Border Patrolmen get shot in the line of duty with weapons given to the cartels by the ATFE is hurting the morale of our law enforcement.

No Janet. Having Border Patrolmen get shot in the line of duty with weapons given to the cartels by the ATFE is hurting the morale of our law enforcement.

Napolitano’s urges have always been more than a little problematic.

[cripplecreek]

I urge Janet Napolitano to move to Mexico and start a traveling donkey show. She’ll make a mint taking bets on which is the donkey.
