WASHINGTON -- Facing criticism for her handling of federal stimulus money, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday that she would not start any new border construction projects while the department reviewed how projects were selected.
Napolitano has faced questions since The Associated Press reported last month that Homeland Security officials did not follow their internal priority lists when choosing which border checkpoints would get money for renovations.

Build and man the gosh, darn FENCE ALREADY!
Remember yesterday the ol'whore who was talking about Senators, etc. she talks to regularly? She wasn't huffing ~ that was all real ~ people like Barbara Boxer, and Napolitano, have their friends in criminal circles. That's how they get campaign money.
You could have predicted this last night.
Napolitano is the pig who bankrupted Arizona. She needs to be in jail.
got someone on Acorn tape saying to bring the 13 year old girl through Tijuana as he can help smuggle them in.
Janet, you are just another example of the most corrupt administration in the history of this country. Why don’t you just retire with your girlfriend and call it quits?
The review will be completed right after the Amnesty bill goes to the White House for signature.

“Two Montana Democratic senators, for instance, said they personally appealed to Napolitano to get money for lower-priority border projects. That includes the $15 million plan for Whitetail, which will build a checkpoint the size and cost of a Hollywood mansion at a crossing that serves three travelers a day.”
“The term “project labor agreement” as used in this order means a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor organizations that establishes the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project and is an agreement described in 29 U.S.C. 158(f).”
Unions? Hoo boy !

Check out this comment from Bryon Dorgan from the AP story:
“The criticism peaked Wednesday when a senior Senate Democrat, Byron Dorgan of North Dakota, said that, despite Napolitano’s assurances, he felt Homeland Security was treating the economic stimulus plan like a “bottomless pit” of taxpayer money. It was unusually pointed criticism from a member of the president’s own party about how the administration is handling economic recovery spending.”
