WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration has met many of the border security benchmarks Congress set in 2007 as a prerequisite to immigration reform and now it's time to change the law, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday.
Napolitano, designated by President Barack Obama to lead the administration's immigration reform efforts, said many members of Congress had said they could support immigration reform, but only after border security improved, Napolitano said.
"Fast forward to today, and many of the benchmarks these members of Congress set in 2007 have been met," she said in a speech to the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank.

“Can Napolitano cook? I mean, she has to be useful at something!”
She’d make a good speedbump.
That is so exciting. I did not know that Tea Parties were also for patriots against amnesty for illegals. I am on here pretty often but keep missing things like these fine examples of stories on here. Thank you so much!!!
He must be Janet Napolitano's hero...

Until we put up a 50 foot fence along the border from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico with no holes in it, we will never be secure. These people are truly delusional as well as dangerous to the welfare of this country.
Napolitano’s peeing on my back and telling me it’s raining ?
And it is snowing today in sunny southern CA.
Yep.
Medical marijuana test subject bookmark.
Man she must have some serious glaucoma.
Apprehensions along the border are way down not because of anything DHS is doing but because the democrats have tanked the economy and even illegal aliens cant find jobs.
“Napolitano pronounces US border more secure now”
Last I heard, fatso couldn’t even pronounce the word “terrorist”.
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
This is the key. They know they'll have problems with dem reelections if they don't get more voters. Let's not forget what Clinton and Gore did before reelection time. They Fast Tracked immigrants into citizenship without background checks. As I recall, 10% of those new citizens turned out to have criminal records. The democrats had tables setup to register the new citizens right after they were sworn in.
Yes, yes!! I like that.
The border is safe because they are already here in our cities, killing our honor students. A beautiful girl was just killed here in a gang drive-by after the homecoming game.
