Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano claims that those citing border violence in order to criticize the Presidents program of fostering a secure and prosperous flow of goods and people between the United States and Mexico are sadly mistaken.
Though there were an estimated 13,000 Mexican murdered by drug lords last year, Napolitano pointed out that not a single one of these victims was murdered on the border, per se. All were clearly killed within Mexico. The border itself had no fatalitiesmaking it the safest place on Earth, as far as Im concerned.
The Secretary also dismissed the incidence of crimes committed in the US by illegal aliens as an artificial statistic. First of all, these perpetrators are only illegal aliens because of Congress failure to enact comprehensive immigration reform. If those who have entered the country without appropriate documents were granted amnesty the vast majority of the crimes committed by illegal aliens would vanish.
Secondly, many of these illegal aliens have been driven to lives of crime because our refusal to admit them to the country by legal means has denied them the opportunity to earn an honest living, Napolitano added. Who wouldnt be tempted to smuggle drugs, commit robberies, or murder people when the alternative is working off the books for sub-minimum wages? So, really, this phenomenon is mostly our own fault.

The Myth is ,competency in any part of this communist regime.
The article may be satire but the truth is Janet Napolitano’s intellegence is a myth.
What part of her line of bullshit is most laughable? The part about illegals only being illegal because congress won’t change the law and make them legal? Or the part where crimes by illegals would go away if they were made legal???

Send her to the border and let her patrol it.
Pretty funny.
There is no border violence, and the border violence is our fault.
Big Sis is insane!!
