Border Violence a Myth Says Napolitano
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 26 March 2011 | John Semmens

Posted on 03/27/2011 11:43:24 AM PDT by John Semmens

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano claims that “those citing border violence in order to criticize the President’s 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 fatalities—making it the safest place on Earth, as far as I’m 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 wouldn’t 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.”

A mind is a terrible thing to waste and it’s not called the Department of Hopeless Stupidity for nothing.

Of course the number of crimes committed by “illegal” aliens would disappear if you gave them amnesty. They would then be crimes by “legal” aliens. OyVey. Is she really this stupid?

This particular sarcasm site has now gotten me twice. I suppose I could plead that it sounds exactly like something these idiots would say.

Well, geez in that case maybe we should all be living a life of crime, because for one reason or other we ALL of excuses to do so. This is seriously insane. This is the same mentality of these brainless, spineless idiots, when it comes to Israel and Palestinian(which is just another name for Jordanians, Egyptians and other Arab people who squatted on Jewish land). Let’s just make excuses for everybody. Oh that’s right, conservatives, republican’s and Christians, need not apply. Oh and anyone who doesn’t stay on the plantation like Juan Williams.

Incompetano: “That man was not killed at the border! He was at least three feet away from it when they cut off his head!”

It has gotten me more than twice. The author needs to put “(Satire)” in the title to keep people from thinking this is actual news and then telling other people about it. Sheesh...

She’s right you know. They’d still commit crimes. The label would just be different. Isn’t it amazing how much smarter than us these government bureaucrats are?
