ABU DHABI — The United States government, which has difficulty controlling its own borders, has agreed to help Saudi Arabia secure its dangerous border areas near Yemen.
"It is a very rough border, very difficult to protect from illegal crossings," U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said.
In late May, Ms. Napolitano met Saudi leaders to discuss a range of security programs, including training, joint exercises, intelligence and arms sales. Officials said both the Americans and Saudis agreed that the Iranian-backed Shi'ite insurgency from Yemen was the leading threat to Riyad.
Officials said Riyad and Washington were expanding cooperation in protecting the kingdom's borders from insurgents and smugglers, Middle East Newsline reported. They said the biggest threat was the Shi'ite insurgency in neighboring Yemen, which shares a 1,600-kilometer border with Saudi Arabia.
Officials acknowledged that thousands of Yemenis were infiltrating Saudi Arabia despite recent border security measures. They said many of the Yemeni infiltrators were smugglers.
I’d think the penalty for anyone Saudi Arabia catches doing this would be a lot worse than the coddling that the US gives to Mexican interlopers. If not, maybe it should be. Let the word get out that if you get caught sneaking in from Yemen and you have terrorist connections, you will be stoned and that doesn’t mean marijuana.
Is this on tape? It would be great to show a commerical with her (”its”) comments about Saudi Arabia vs. Arizona!
Volunteer Americans would stop the insurgency in this country if given immunity from prosecution.
It would stop in a couple of days.
Janet Incompetano advising ANYONE about border security can only occur on the other side of the looking glass.
It would stop in a couple of days.
This is a joke, right?
bump
the Yemenis are only sneaking into Saudi for jobs and economic opportunity - surely the Saudis are not profiling ...
One word:
Bounty.
MS 13; Friend or Foe?
Are you f***ing kidding me?
This is a GOOD thing. Iran is planning to take over SA with insurgency groups and etc. At least Napolitano sees something worthwhile fighting for for once.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll keep her...
This idiot-ridden woman should have been fired a long time ago....amazing she served two terms in AZ...... =.=
"It is a very rough border, very difficult to protect from illegal crossings," U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said.
A clip of Napolitano making this asinine statement should be played during every campaign ad for every Republican candidate this fall.
Our tax dollars at work, protecting Saudi Arabia. Unbelievable.
If Napolitano is going to spend our tax dollars guarding the borders of Saudi Arabia, does that include helping them confiscate every Bible which is smuggled into Saudi Arabia?
Napolatano was on Gretta/Fox last night. She is a total idiot. She’s not even good at spinning the Regime’s propaganda..
Homeland Security is for our HOMELAND!
NOT for some foreign nation.
