ABU DHABI — The United States government, which has difficulty controlling its own borders, has agreed to help Saudi Arabia secure its dangerous border areas near Yemen.

"It is a very rough border, very difficult to protect from illegal crossings," U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said.

In late May, Ms. Napolitano met Saudi leaders to discuss a range of security programs, including training, joint exercises, intelligence and arms sales. Officials said both the Americans and Saudis agreed that the Iranian-backed Shi'ite insurgency from Yemen was the leading threat to Riyad.

The US is not seen as a sovereign country by these people, thats why we aren;t allowed a protected border

Bow, and scrape to Saudi Arabia, and give lip service and chant slogans to our Border States.

Sounds like Obama was here.

15/19 of the 9/11 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia.
Help them?
The only thing I would help them do is commit national suicide.
These people are not our friends. They never were.

WTF?!!!!

I've heard that a ridiculously large percentage of the State Dept. employees lobby for the Saudis upon their retirement and a large number of current State Dept. employees plan to work for the Saudis. One thing is for sure, Saudi Arabia gets special treatment.

Maybe we could build them a fence!!!

Maybe they should consult with Jan Brewer first.

These people are not our friends. They never were.

I really do believe they are Barak Hussein Obama's friends.

Um. I think it's time to get rid of the HOMELAND "Security" Department. It appears to have outlived its usefulness.

So, our borders are bleeding and we can't seem to help American citizens at the border and vilify Gov. Brewer for trying to do something, yet we can promise man power, $ and whatever else the Saudi’s need to “protect” their borders? The very people that engineered that most awful tragedy on 9/11? How can this not infuriate true Americans?

I think that was the straw that just broke this camel's back and there is absolutely no pun intended here because I'm too pissed.

Forgive me Lord for my language.

And Oilbama is available, in case you Saudis have any deepwater oil leaks

If the Yemeni’s could vote for The Messiah, Big Eyes would say “just let ‘em in!”

Janet could put a stop to US border crossings by going down there and strutting around in a hooker outfit. (Sorry)
