Here is an excerpt from a 2008 letter then Gov of Arizona Janet Napolitano (now Secretary of Homeland Security) to then Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff:
Date: March 11, 2008
"[r]eal solutions to fix our broken borders cannot wait that long. Human and drug smuggling rings continue to thrive in Arizona, crossing our border and using our cities as major hubs to transport crosser throughout the country. While we wait for real progress on the "virtual fence," border communities in Arizona will continue to be strained by the millions of dollars in costs they must absorb due to the state of border security."
....
Yours very truly,
Janet Napolitano
Governor
In reading the above letter, would you not think DHS Napolitano would be Arizona's biggest champion in Washington? Would you not think she, of all people, would understand the frustration in Arizona? Don't you think she would be pushing her boss, President Obama, to help Arizona? and get President Obama to push Congress to help this state? Instead DHS Napolitano had to recently embarrassingly admit that she did not read the Arizona illegal immigration law.

But . . . but that’s different, you see . . .
apparently you don’t know the power of the dark side.
Yet another member of the Obama Administration who should be tried for treason.
She’s about as fake as Obammy.
Partisan politics is more powerful and more important than the want, needs, or wishes of the constituents.
Bookmarked!
Her name is Incompetano. (Thanks to Mark Steyn.)
It’s Nutty-litano but that’s also acceptable..

Sorry - but she drank the koolaid when she arrived in Washington!
No blown socks.
As governor, she was commander in chief of the state’s National Guard. She could hve called them up herself.
We don’t need a virtual fence, we need a real fence. In fact, forget the fence. Make it a wall and a moat backed up by the National Guard and throw in a military training base right on the border.
Illegal aliens sent $15 billion (I think that’s last amount I saw) to Mexico that they earned here this year. That’s money earned here but not spent here — in other words that money was a gift to Mexico.
The argument that they contribute to the economy as a source of cheap labor ignores the fact that it is a black market economy. Were they all made citizens tomorrow & had to pay for the certifications, insurance, licenses and other costs that federal, state and local governments impose upon citizens they wouldn‘t be employable. Which, by the way, is a great demonstration of the free market (not government controlled) at work: Cheaper.
And all the other stuff: medical care, education IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE, etc.
Did you say “fried”??
