They can build billion-dollar nuclear-powered aircraft carriers but can't build a security fence along the border. Feh!

“Personally, I believe sealing our borders can’t be done, even if we want to,” she said in the conference’s opening remarks.

We CAN secure our borders. It is a matter of national will and Leadership. (Please hear that Mr. President) Unless there is an integrated approach all the different security agencies will create "seams" which allow those intent on doing so, to get through the net.

If people like this "General" and Chertoff feel they cannot do the job we pay them to do they should resign and let someone else take the country's security and sovereignty seriously.

"The Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have different procedures because of the way they handle their missions....

The one thing they do have in common is a suicidal sense of political correctness infecting all their policies.
