Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday she doesn’t believe tough state immigration laws will prevent federal and state officials from gathering information they need to discover terrorism or other threats.

The former Arizona governor made the remarks at a Phoenix press briefing after giving a speech to hundreds of law enforcement officials attending an intelligence training event.

Among the concerns raised by opponents of state enforcement laws like Arizona’s SB1070 is that illegal immigrants will be afraid to contact law enforcement when they’re victims of crimes or when they have information that police need to know.

Napolitano said the Obama administration believes the Arizona law and those in several other states intrude on the federal government’s ability to set enforcement priorities.

“We want to focus on those who commit crimes, those who are fugitives, on those who we pick up right at the border, and on those that are national security threats,” she said.
