Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, whose agency is charged with securing America’s borders, told an audience in Washington, D.C., in reference to the U.S.-Mexico border, “You’re never going to totally seal that border.” Napolitano spoke and answered questions at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on “Securing the Border: A Smarter Law Enforcement Approach,” on Wednesday. When asked if she could give a timeline on when the border would be secured, Napolitano said, “The border is as secure now as it has ever been” but that the border will never be totally sealed.

The list, ping
Seal the border the best that can be done (especially since many illegals cross legally on tourist visas and then just stay), make it uncomfortable to stay here illegally and every expensive to hire illegals and the number of illegals will be reduced. Do that for ten years and we might even be willing to discuss the terms of amnesty for the couple of million still here after that... maybe.
Then how is it that the border wih Canada is totally sealed. AND I MEAN TOTALLY.If a Canadian termite crosses the border into the USA, alarms go off.
From the head of “Homeland Security”...
Janet - Change your letterhead!!
True as long as we have globalist, progressive communists in power!
CLEAN HOUSE IN NOVEMBER!
I trust President Palin to totally seal the border. (I don’t trust her not to let in amnesty after she does so, but I trust her to seal the border.)
With her in charge I’m sure she’s right.
Yep. It's almost like they know the Mayan doomsday prophecy is real and they're all trying to grab as much as they can before the big event.
If they don’t, people will start getting hurt, in a serious way.
I live in a rural area of SE Tennessee. I've seen illegals with MS-13 tattoos several times over the past year or so in my area. It's only a matter of time before this explodes. People who live around me won't put up with chaos created by a bunch of illegal thugs.....
It sounds like she’s saying that it will not occur under this or any other like minded administration because they’re not going to attempt to seal the border.
If the Israelis can damn near secure their country with their walls, we can sure as hell give it a go. Or as others pointed out, make life here a living hell for the illegals so they return on their own.
It take balls and a spine to do something many weak-kneed liberals disagree with. We need someone with balls (or not depending on the gender) and/or a spine of steel to do something about this attempt to overrun our country and turn it into a 4th world cesspool.
The bitch is useless and sending an invitation, terrorist loving lesbo.
We can’t do something the Chinese did thousands of years ago, but we can manage every aspect of health care for 300+ million people.
Interesting how you picked up on her semantic use of *YOU and THAT border*
A patriot would have at least said: “WE may not be able to fully secure OUR borders, but we will make every effort”.
What do Arizonans think of their former Governor?
Isn’t Napolitano making the case in public for the State to Seize the Assets of Federal Agencies and Federal Employees.??
There was a recent decision upholding the right of the State to use Civil Asset forfeiture against a citizen because he “might” use the money for something illegal.
seems to me Napolitano is Openly admitting that she and other Federal Employees and Agencies will use their Paycheck for Illegal Activities, Open Defiance of the LAW is an Illegal Act in and of itself. Begin CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE of All Federal Employees in the State, beginning with Janet Napolitano.
A totally stupid argument used by people who have no intention of even trying the thing the say can never be totally accomplished. But since Napolitano and the Dims like this one so much, here are a few others
We're never going to cure all the sick people.
We're never going to catch all the criminals.
We're never going to convict all the criminals in court.
So don't even make the effort in any of those areas, either. The list is endless, and the general argument one for morons and people who have no intention of even trying to any extent at all.
That is the crux of the issue. The reason she said 'seal' is that she knows it cannot be done, and it isn't what we want. We don't want the borders CLOSED.
What we want is border SECURITY.
That is what she is responsible for, and she is failing at it. She is just trying to dodge the issue by using a strawman argument.
