Napolitano: U.S. - Mexico Border 'As Secure Now As It Has Ever Been'

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano (AP Photo) (CNSNews.com) -- Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, while testifying before a Senate panel, said the United States’s southwest border is “as secure now as it has ever been.”

“I say this again as someone who has walked that border,” she said. “I’ve ridden that border. I’ve flown it. I’ve driven it. I know that border I think as well as anyone, and I will tell you it is as secure now as it has ever been.”

Napolitano made that remark in response to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who was questioning her during Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the oversight of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Before being appointed secretary of Homeland Security, Napolitano served as the governor and attorney general of Arizona, where currently an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants reside. Arizona is also the state with the most illegal border crossings.

You wonder how it’s possible to make a pile this high.

The woman with the butch is as dumb as she thinks you are.

“I’ve ridden that border. I’ve flown it. I’ve driven it. I know that border I think as well as anyone, and I will tell you it is as secure now as it has ever been.”

Probably not as well as the average coyote, who doesn’t
find it daunting at all.

Which may be true but that certainly isn't saying much. This problem has been festering for years and years and people in Arizona are finally fed up with the lack of government action.

Wonder why her nickname is Incompatano?
Baghdad Bob in a dress.
The only border she has ever seen is the one that keeps people in line at a buffet table.
AND the goofball is from Arizona. She ought to know better.
Guess she is just another obama lackey who thinks and speaks what she is told.

She also said a question whether the borders were secure was “not a fair question”

"...and I will tell you it is as secure now as it has ever been.

This has GOT to be on one of the first ten pages of the book I might write, called "STUPID REMARKS FROM THE oBAMA ADMINISTRATION".

No doubt her "visits" to the border were very controlled, secure, and short photo opps. I doubt that she has strolled the whole border...if she had she would have lost some of that lard.

Hasn't been secure in at least 50 years, I'd guess.

The border is an imaginary line.
Nothing can happen to it.

It is the American cities which are at risk.

And they are are open to terrorists, courtesy of Congress
who should be held accountable.
