Napolitano: U.S. - Mexico Border 'As Secure Now As It Has Ever Been'
CNS NEWS.com ^ | April 29, 2010 | Edwin Mora

Note: Video included at the link.

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.

OK Big Sis, half a$$ed is the standard.

I could (if given free reign) have the border sealed tight in three months. It just takes the will to do it. Ten miles of fence could easily be built in one day. Predatros with helicopter response teams and roaming patrols with the power to turn back invaders. Add a 50% tax to all money leaving the US and going to Mexico. However, the real solution is to make it very painful to get caught employing an illegal.

She is correct. The border is secure now as it as ever been, it’s 100% completely wide open as usual ...

Perfect example of political no-speak.

Reminds me of the time Teddy said that he did not hear anything unusual, when being questioned about the rape that occurred on his estate by his nephew.

Today we are letting the fox guard the hen
house. The wolves will be herding the sheep! Obama Appoints
two devout Muslims to home land security posts. Doesn’t this
make you feel safer already?

Obama and Janet Napolitano Appointed Arif Alikhan, a devout Muslim, as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano swore-in Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim, who was born in Damascus, Syria, as ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC).

NOTE: Has anyone ever heard a new government official being identified as a devout Catholic, a devout Jew or a devout Protestant...?

Devout Muslims being appointed to critical Homeland Security positions? Doesn’t this make you feel safer already??

Was it not “Devout Muslim men” that flew planes into U.S. buildings 8 years ago? Was it not a Devout Muslim who killed 13 at Fort Hood ?

Don't forget making it unlawful to supply any welfare benefits, tax credits, social security, unemployment, taxpayer-funded education, or other government benefit to people that are here illegally. Take away the freebies and most will leave on their own.

Don’t forget targeting and fining those businesses that hire illegals. THAT will have a more dramatic effect than your wise suggestions of benefit cuts.

This should reassure me...why?
