From thehill.com -Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano issued a stern warning to Mexican drug cartels on Monday as she vowed to push Congress to revamp U.S. immigration laws. Napolitano, speaking at the University of Texas at El Paso, said the southern U.S. border has never been more secure than in recent years and public officials who argue otherwise do so to “score political points.” Assessing the number of seizures of illegal drugs, weapons and cash as well as the increasing number of deported criminals who had been in the United States illegally, Napolitano said critics of that border's security were wrong. “It is inaccurate to state, as too many have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control,” Napolitano said in prepared remarks. “This statement — often made only to score political points — is just plain wrong.” More here

Odd, why did they close the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge?

Oh, that's right, due to border violence.

I am beginning to think it time Americans start ordering certain people out of office.

When an official is so clueless as to say something like this, it's time to fire them.

I say we force her to live in a small house just a mile from the Tex-Mex border for a year and see just what she thinks of the border then.
