She is vocal about the job of patrolling and securing the border being a FEDERAL matter and not the job of citizen patrols. Reading between the lines, I always hear her saying it's either NOT her job or NOT something she is interested in. She has many meetings with Mexican officials/ngo's, Arizona-Sonoran Commission, Border Governors Conference, where agreements and promises have been made over the years, by a long list of fomer US Border Governors, to facilitate a kinder, gentler, OPEN border environment and to pass NO anti-immigration legislation.
And because of investigative reports that have brought to light the number of murder suspects that have fled the state to Mexico (who were located in border towns by news reporters) who she did not work to have extradited back for prosecution while she was Attorney General, she now states that the return of such criminals is one of her priorities.
